Initial Blog

As far as blogging goes...I am a first timer. I plan to use this site to talk about a few different things including: my adventures in vegetable gardening, simple and healthy living, as well as my life as a student. Currently, I am finishing up my semester at the local community college in order to finish up my pre-requisites for Northwestern's DPT program in the fall. I have one more class to take in the summer, and then I'll be a full time student once again.

The other part of my life, is gardening. I just started a vegetable garden this year in my parent's backyard. Yes, I still live at home with my parents. I started everything from seed, minus a jalapeno plant that my mother bought me, which will be a very nice addition to the garden. Other than that, I have tomato plants, sweet pepper plants, chile peppers, spinach, carrots, beets, lettuce, radishes and some cinderella pumpkins and acorn squash to plant later in the summer. I think its a nice group to start off with.

Things have been going very well so far with the seeds, with the exception of two of my cosmos heads were eaten by either a neighborhood bunny or deer. Either way, I have put up a fence to protect against my growing spinach and beets.

I'll have pictures to post later about how the garden looks.

Hi, I just read your blog about your garden (saw the link on the Mercola website). I love the green colors on your blog page, very peaceful and serene. I'd love a gardening penpal if you're up for it. If not, I understand, you sound very busy (2 jobs, school, wow). But if have time and would like to chat about gardening, I'd love to hear from you. If not, totally fine. Peace, Carol
