It’s raining it’s pouring…

Which is awesome for my plants, but not so awesome for the outdoor plans I have tomorrow.  Hopefully it will clear up soon!

Speaking of my plants, I don’t remember if I talked about this already but I’m doing a container garden this year!!  I don’t really have a place to plant a proper garden (nor do I have the know how or a green thumb, lol).  But I do have a patio!  So I’m doing some veggies in containers!!  Just my veggie plants and some organic miracle grow- no bug sprays or anything like that.  I can’t WAIT to taste those fresh yummy veggies!!

I’ve got two types of tomatoes going- yellow pear tomatoes and beefsteak tomatoes- both heirloom varieties. I’ve also got yellow straightneck squash, zucchini, eggplant, okra, basil, rosemary, and sugar baby watermelons!  Oh I’m so stinking excited!  They are growing like crazy and I’m thinking maybe the end of June or beginning of July I’ll start getting some stuff I can pick.

Here’s what my veggies looked like last week…

And here’s what they look like today…

Look how big my eggplant is!!!!

I can’t wait to eat you little vegetables!!!!

Got up this morning and got on the treadmill.  I had planned to go to kickboxing, but it was raining and I just wanted to sleep in a little.  So I did.  But I made myself get on the treadmill and run.  I always feel great afterword, so it’s worth making myself do it!

Then I chopped some veggies to prep for next week.  And I peeled up a huge chunk of ginger- oh my goodness I LOVE the smell of ginger!  It’s so warm and spicy- I need to use it more often.  It’s fantastic and so cheap!

Then I put on a big ole pot of coffee (Spring Blend!!!).  I got a new coffee maker yesterday and I am enjoying my spring blend better in it than I was in the french press.  I like my  coffee with a little organic half and half.  YUM!

And I munched on some pretty delicious trail mix that I found at Whole Foods yesterday.

HOLY MOLY this stuff is good!!!!

So anyway!  It’s time to start figuring out what’s going to be for lunch, then it’s time to start getting ready for girls night!!!!  Woot woot!!  I can’t wait!

Catch ya later!!
