1. Plant something: I planted out my inside-started seedlings today (well, most of them.) I planted tomatoes where I had some peas that never germinated. Also some Walla Walla onions, broccoli, zucchini, bell peppers, eggplant, and watermelon (where the pumpkins died.) I planted some sprouted Kentucky Wonder green beans in the other pumpkin hole. Ruby and I started them last week in little paper cups. I also did some container planting of peas, radishes, spinach, lavender, and Valerian.
My radishes have sprouted! Woo :)
2. Harvest something: Not yet.
3. Preserve something: Not yet.
4. Prep something: I bought two good, heavy Pyrex casseroles with lids at the thrift store. When I get a solar oven going, they'll be good for that.
5. Cook something: I made two meals worth of pulled pork in the crock pot. I want to start doubling up on one meal a week, to start building up a store of pre-made meals.
6. Manage your reserves: Nothing really here.
7. Work on local food systems: I continued to talk to my neighbors about gardening.
8. Health: Nothing much here. Sadly.

Yay radishes!
I've a different approach to being green/gardening this year. Because I'm preggo and moving soon, I did not plant a mini-garden on my porch this year. Instead, I've focused on my composting worm box. I bought a larger rubbermaid box from Target and had a student from woodshop put holes in the lid so I can expand my indoor composting and thus cut down on the amount of trash we are throwing out.
My hubby thought I was nuts, until he figured out that the new town we are moving to charges to pick up trash. Less trash = less expense, more compost = better gardening next spring.
