A (Second) Year of Running + Gardening
Whew. I’m tired. I can’t help it, but I think it all the time. This summer I attempted to simultaneously garden and train for a marathon. On top of that, my cousin got married on Orange Beach Alabama on the gulf, so I spent a week there with my family, I had a business trip to Vegas the following week, and then a week after that I left for 11 days in Europe with my mom and sister. While I was...

Also, extra water for...
Garden Update

Radishes - Mostly grown!
Herbs - Suffering in super wet soil. Cilantro and parsley are both almost toast.
Cauliflower - What a little pansy, can’t handle a little dry soil, at all.
Onions - Living it up.
Lettuces -...

A little internet research this morning shows that my first eggplant is nearing harvest size. It has this beautiful white and purple skin so while I’ve known it to be an eggplant, it seems unusual to me. If you’re curious what that looks like, here’s a great example I found.
