another list

garden

Because there is no better way to procrastinate than to sit with a cup of mint green tea and make a list of things to plant in the garden.
  • dusty miller for the edges
  • lettuce
  • spinach
  • radishes
  • beans
  • tomatoes
  • peas
  • beets
  • green onions

I am going to try to do my beans and my tomatoes in large containers. I will also replant my Simon and Garfunkle herb container - parsley sage rosemary and thyme. We will need basil too.
Two years ago we had a bumper crop of basil and we froze much of it; we are nearing the end of our supply.

I am becoming more and more conscious of the need to eat locally and be more self-sufficient.

We have also committed to becoming overall less consumptive. Less meat. Less food; less indulging in excess.

i have been thinking about this lately as well:

"less indulging in excess."

I want to plant a garden this year. This will be my first, and in a climate I don't really know (with a really short season). I've never planted one before because I've always been "maybe going to move." This year, too, we may move in the summer, but I'm gonna give it a whirl anyway and hope it works out.
