2010 Garden

Here in Texas gardening is a year round activity. Right now we have lettuce ("Spring Mix" (leaf lettuce) and Red Romaine) and radishes in the garden and we're having salads just about every night. We also have carrots, broccoli, swiss chard, cabbage, cauliflower and who knows what else growing right now. I just cooked the last of the butternut squash the other night (I'll post a couple of my favorite recipes soon).

While it's nice to have fresh winter vegetables, it's more exciting harvesting vine-ripened tomatoes. Marc has started enough seed trays to plant 1/4 acre of tomatoes! Like Blue Bell we plan to eat all we can and sell the rest.

Here's a picture of the seed starting stand he built using PVC pipe and grow lights holding about 12 flats of seeds. We need about 2 more of these units.

Finding the Time

How many times have you said "I just don't have the time to..."

Did you know that if you eliminated just 30 minutes of television watching per day you'd have 182.5 hours each year to do something more productive. 182.5 hours equates to 7.6 FULL DAYS or 22.8 WORK DAYS (based on an 8-hour work day).

What could you do with that much time??
