AMKuska's 2019 Garden Thread

[AMKuska]

Today was a big day for me. I ran 5k (3.2 miles) in 41:16, pushing a stroller. My goal for the prep race I'm doing on the 28th was to finish in 45 minutes.

Another good day in the garden! I went ahead and put out all my cold hardy vegetables, after hardening them off gently. The sprouts in my root garden are up, and heavily barricaded against the chickens.

I started hardening off warm weather crops in anticipation of the last frost date. I have tomato over 3 feet tall that really needs to go out. My tomatoes usually don't do well in the greenhouse. I'll have to note which tomato species this is and get them again.

A 5k run pushing a stroller? You are my hero!!

Lots of spring exercise, @AMKuska .

The stroller doesn't look like this model: link. I often drive ... on a route where parents push strollers .

An information video on a safety problem getting less than 200 views on its first month doesn't look like an adequate way to inform young parents.

Thank you so much for sending that link Steve. It touches me that you are concerned for my daughter's safety. I don't own a BOB fortunately, but I had to check it. I got it at a second hand store, so I didn't pay attention to the brand, just the functionality.

That's scary though!

And she's going to run the actual 5k race with me! I signed up for it specifically because it's stroller friendly.

There was a big sale at the Lowe's near us today! Herbs and vegetables were 4/$10 and potting soil 5/$10!

I got all the herbs I need for making my own spaghetti sauce. Oregano, parsley, basil and thyme. I also got all my soil amendments. What a deal!

I got them all planted today, and checked on my newly planted cool weather crops. They're a bit flattened from a wind storm we had, but looking happier than they did in the too-warm green house.
