It's been chilly few days here, cool and rainy. I'm finding it hard to come up with the perfect work wardrobe for cool spring days. But, the plants seem to be loving it. I'm happy to see that the Wee Willie heirloom pinks I seeded last year are coming back. And we added a few more perennials to the bed, some indigo and mauve columbine, some coreopsis and more sea pinks. It should add some nice color and attract lots of beneficial insects to the garden.
Kind of a quiet week here with finger recuperation still going on. We did get a chance to visit with a few family members last night over a nice dinner in town. A rare occasion and one that we were glad to be part of!
And once again, thanks to my dear husband, we still managed to get a few things done by way of the Independence Days Challenge (IDC). So, here's our update for the week...
Plant Something:
Planted pole beans, squash, luffas and perennials
Harvest Something:
herbs and a little lettuce
Preserve Something:
not this week
Reduce Waste:
Created a list of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle tips for the office green page. Harvested a load of used printer paper to cut down and use instead of post-its in the office
Preparation and Storage:
Stored a water-proof supply of candles and matches in the basement storage area
Build Community Food Systems:
Working on a "raised bed" team at work to create and maintain an organic garden at work
Eat the Food:
Made a big bowl of 4-bean salad, a great way to use food storage!
Hope you're having a good week!
