We are still alive and well (mostly)...We both are noticing that we just don't have the energy we used to have and we do get tired easily most days, but we're still plugging along. I have a nice garden going out back and I'm using plastic bins for my vegetables. It's just easier that way and I don't have to battle the damn Bermuda grass!
Sugar snap peas...early tomatoes
Additionally, I now have 13 plastic tubs FULL of vegetables~~celery, cabbage (3 types), broccoli, cauliflower, mint, lettuce (various types), and Swiss chard. I absolutely LOVE going out to the garden and picking fresh, organic vegetables! Next year I'm going to DOUBLE my growing space. I already have one 8x4 foot raised bed that the son-in-law put together and I have another one that he needs to get ready. I'll use the second one for summer vegetables, so it can wait a while.
I've attached my YouTube tour of the vegetable garden here:
I also planted sunflower seeds out by the mailbox and here are some photos of them. The bees LOVE THEM!
