New Year, New Look
January 03, 2012I hope everyone had a safe, fun, happy New Year! Corey and I got to hang out with some friends we hadn't seen in a while and had a great time!
The start of a new year is always filled with clichéd resolutions about eating healthier and losing weight. Let's face it, by the end of January those who made those resolutions will have already let them fall by the wayside and will have picked up right where they left off Dec. 31.
One thing I can't WAIT to get started on this year: Gardening! According to my mom, she is not one with a green thumb, but I figured I will at least give it a shot. I don't want to grow a lot, just a few different things. Corey will build some raised beds for me to put some good healthy soil in (I've read that not many things like to grow in this red clay dirt), and hopefully if the timing for everything is right, we'll have a few fruits, vegetables and pretty flowers throughout the spring & summer. If you have any tips or tricks, feel free to leave them in the comments section. Any help would be greatly appreciated :) I plan on attempting to grow tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, bell peppers, potatoes, cilantro/coriander, garlic, okra, zucchini/squash, and eventually pumpkins! I also want a grapevine because...well I love grapes, and Corey wants me to grow strawberries. We'll see how all of this goes. You may want to stay tuned on this one; I could end up posting something about an epic failure of a garden, and you wouldn't want to miss that :) Supposedly they are hard work. To that I say bring it!
