I have two square foot garden boxes this year. I have three kinds of onion, garlic, and squash that is taking over in one box.<br />The other has strawberries, radishes, one tomato, 2 bell peppers, one Chinese pepper, a watermelon and a cantaloupe. Everything but one bell pepper have really taken off! I pulled the last of the radishes this morning. What should I plant in the two empty boxes? I am disappointed in the lettuce. It is bitter and my family just won't eat it. I am about to pull all of it out too. I have pole beans planted in the same box. The lettuce would not last in our heat here.<br /><br />The other pictures are my harvest from this morning and my two new additions! Aloe Vera.<br /><br />More next time.kinchinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08433719797766137188noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558325454791517918.post-34953099078519650492010-06-09T16:19:00.000-07:002010-06-09T16:30:05.207-07:00My Summer Bucket List<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9i4eZdD0Afk/TBAiVOD5H5I/AAAAAAAAAYc/E-XNtmMQPHc/s1600/IMG_2567_1.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9i4eZdD0Afk/TBAiVOD5H5I/AAAAAAAAAYc/E-XNtmMQPHc/s320/IMG_2567_1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480918494456913810" border="0" /></a>

Where did last week go? I saw somewhere on a blog (I wish I could remember where... If you know where please let me know!) the idea of a summer bucket list. Here are a few of the things I would like to do:
<br /></p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">1. Schlitterbahn! Need I say more? We didn’t make it last summer and the kids are already asking when we will go.
<br /></p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">2. Finish a quilt. I have it pieced! I am on my way.
<br /></p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">3. Organize my books and weed out the ones we are not interested in.
<br /></p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">4. Thin out the toys in my house! Yikes! Sometimes we can’t even walk through a room!
<br /></p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">5. Scrapbook with my best bud in <st1:city st="on"><st1:place st="on">Dallas</st1:place></st1:city>! (miss ya Dana)
<br /></p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">6. Start a scrapbook club here.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">7. Swim 6 times a week.
<br /></p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">8. Start walking again. I met some one who just did her first triathlon!
<br /></p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">9. Spend a wonderful weekend celebrating my hubby’s birthday! This year is a milestone one.
<br /></p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">10. Start camping again—I am thinking <st1:place st="on"><st1:placename st="on">Inks</st1:placename> <st1:placetype st="on">Lake</st1:placetype></st1:place>. There are air condition cabins there. I still consider it camping! You have to walk to the bathroom! I only will rough it so much! If I survive I might consider tents in the Fall!
<br /></p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">11. Picnic at <st1:city st="on"><st1:place st="on">Hamilton</st1:place></st1:city> Pool.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">I am sure I can think of more… how about you?

I came across this idea on another blog and thought I would order the book and see what all the buzz was about. I can really see advantages for this system. I am going to give it a try with my youngest. I have 6 boxes and thought I would try it out this summer. We are still doing phonics and math. I plan to put some fun activities and review activities and see if it will help keep him away from the computer some this summer!<br /><br />I would love to hear what you are doing this summer!<br /><div></div>kinchinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08433719797766137188noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558325454791517918.post-75246934741758334322009-05-20T14:04:00.001-07:002009-05-20T14:05:50.064-07:00Wordless Wednesday<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9i4eZdD0Afk/ShRwnON72FI/AAAAAAAAATU/gPzoycNnXCk/s1600-h/IMG_3111.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338015277474633810" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9i4eZdD0Afk/ShRwnON72FI/AAAAAAAAATU/gPzoycNnXCk/s320/IMG_3111.JPG" /></a><br /><div></div>kinchinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08433719797766137188noreply@blogger.com0
