Extraordinary in the Ordinary

I’m just sayin’.

Between the fact that my husband was laid off for a period last year and had to start all over at a new company, my husband was also diagnosed with hd this year, and the fact that my mom died last year, and I appear to be channeling her need to hoard food and have fresh vegetables, I am out of control with needing “just one more plant” which leads to one more container.  No matter what happens, I should at least be able to grow some food for us.  At least it gives me something healthy to obsess over.

So exciting…the beginning of a new love….my vegetable container garden. I had no idea what I was getting into.  (5/13/2010)

It was quite a day.  (5/13/2010)

OK, I am starting to get a little excited now. 13 days later, and I have managed to not kill anything, and it’s GROWING! (5/26/2010)

Three weeks later and still going strong. (6/2/2010)

Four weeks and two additional containers later, and I think I am out of control.

I can’t go anywhere without wanting to bring home another plant.  I’m in heaven. (6/9/2010)

I’m not going to apologize for my excitement.  I’m not going to apologize for my compulsion to keep adding more plants and containers.  And if you want to know why, look here to see how FAR I have come this year!
