Summer gardens 2014

Spring and summer 2014.

Men at Work

Remember that group? Who can it be now....Down Under? Pure 80's nostalgia.  Anyway, its actually man at work, dog lazing, and me, I'm out of commission for now, courtesy of my crunchy, arthritic wrists. Yoga. A pose I've done many times...but my wrists just decided enough was enough and were not going to cooperate anymore. Any yoga pose that involve hands, forget. I'm limited now and seriously looking at treadmills to do SOMETHING physical. Its a sprain, maybe an MRI in 3 weeks. So, dh started yard clean-up,  something I used to do all on my own. Gotta love the aging process...oh yeah, one more thing, my hair has started to thin, big time, right in front, bang area, so taking that big leap to going au naturale...sigh..

can't imagine this...but here goes. At least I'll save on not buying dye...

Lately....

Our vegetable garden, mid-July, along with the perennial gardens that I couldn't maintain like I would have wanted.  90+ degree days kept me inside; at 52 I cannot tolerate that kind of heat and humidity. I finally finished our steps.  Found a runner...although I like the steps as is, its hard on Dakota's hips getting up the steps without any traction.

Harvesting:

mesclun
spinach
beets
onions (done)
garlic (done)
red lettuce
green bib lettuce
cucumbers
zucchini
broccoli
