I am trying hard to get ready to plant my kitchen garden. I purchased a composter and put it in service yesterday after I got home from school. It's one I can just turn, so no need to get in their with a pitch fork and turn it manually which is nice. the next thing I need to do is figure out what to plant, and plow up the land. I figure we will have corn, beans, tomatoes (several varieties), bell peppers, lettuce, squash, pumpkin, spinich, onion, potato, garlic, carrots, turnips and some herbs. I am going to can as well. I am hoping my apple tree produces this year, last year we only had 3 apples. my little plum tree usually produces quite a lot, so will figure something out for them as well. I want to get some raspberry and blueberry bushes and some strawberry plants to kind of round things out. Matt and I are meeting at Sam's Club this morning to go stock up on dry goods and frozen stuff. There is a lot to do before school lets out, and I have to get much of it done this week end, I want to be able to walk out of school on June 2 and not have to return again except perhaps as a guest, to sell my books. I will miss my friends that I have made. It will be sad not to see or talk to them on a daily basis, but I will not miss the politics of this work place, that is for sure. I am looking forward to getting started in photo restoration, and photography. Freelancing my time in geneaology look ups and helping others in their quest to find out about their roots, will be fun and different. Also, getting to know the people of this town will be such a blessing. I have been here two years, but I really don't know anyone by name, and they don't know me by name either, that is going to change. Here we go, a great week end I hope of getting things accomplished.
