PRAISE GOD THE GARDEN GOT TILLED AND I HAVE STARTED PLANTING. FIRST THING I DID EARLY AFTERNOON WAS TO DIG UP MOST OF MY STRAWBERRY PLANTS. THEY HAVE NOT DONE GOOD THIS YEAR. SO I DECIDED TO MOVE THEM. SO WHILE HUSBAND HAD SONS TRACTOR I MOVED MOST OF THEM . ROGER PLOWED THE SPOT UP. I WILL PUT THEM AT THE NORTH END OF GARDEN. THEY WERE IN THE THE MIDDLE OF GARDEN. SO THIS WILL BE BETTER. I GOT 3/4 OF A 5 GALLON BUCKET TO PLANT I GOT 2 ROWS OF TENERETTE BUSH BEANS AND 9 ROWS OF HONEY N CREAM SWEET CORN PLANTED. ENOUGH FOR ONE DAY. PRAISE GOD I GOT THAT MUCH. MY BODY CAN TELL I HAVE DONE SOMETHING DIFFERENT. I WALKED 7689 STEPS TODAY. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS. I WILL KEEP YOU INFORMED ABOUT MY PLANTING .HAVE A FUN WEEK-END KAY

Gardening is great cardio. I finally got my flower garden in yesterday. Keep up the good work on your steps, I wear a pedometer too and log my steps each day on Spark. Karen Report Inappropriate Comment

Hi Kay! Glad you finally were able to start getting the garden in! I can almost taste that sweet corn! Wish I had room to plant some--I love it! Our garden is rather small though so that won't happen. We never did have any luck with our strawberry plants so gave up. I think we finally did solve our rabbit problem though so our garden is doing well. God bless! Kim Report Inappropriate Comment

"There will always be yuck days, but I don't have to live in them." I really like this - it's simple & straight to the point. Thanks for making me think. I now have something to say to myself when I'm having a "yuck" day. Smile & Thank You!! Report Inappropriate Comment

Every day has something in it to be thankful for...sometimes we just have to look a little more intently to find it, lol. I hope you had a wonderful mother's day. I had a great visit with my mother and heard from 3 out of 4 of my little chickies....so life is good! Report Inappropriate Comment

My pedometer isn't the greatest in the world but it's pretty decent. I got it at wallmart for less than $10. Just an idea. :-) And thank you for the sweet comments on my blog! Report Inappropriate Comment

Don't get so upset. We all have setbacks. You will succeed! Report Inappropriate Comment

Remember that our bodies do not lose when we want them to do. Just stay honest to yourself and you will lose. The Lord will see you through to success. I got a new pedometer last month and love it. It's an Omron Walking Style. It clips on the waist, but you can also put it in a pocket or in your purse. It shows steps, miles, calories burned, aerobic activity and it has a 7-day memory. I got mine at REI, but I'm sure they are available online, too. Report Inappropriate Comment

I am using a Sportline TraQ Any-Wear Pedometer. I wear mine close to my heart. Things seem to fall off my waist since I usually do not wear a belt and I don't always have pockets. I can even wear a dress with this one. I was looking for a watch type too, but Dick's didn't have any that I liked(one you still needed to wear a device around your waist and it transmitted back to the watch) I have been looking at a Bow flex watch pedometer online..but can't find any reviews for it. Any way if you do get a watch pedometer let me know if you like it...I may be investing later, but right now I will stick with what I have...so many fitness gadgets gathering dust in my house!

Hey Kay! Hang in there--I've had the small gain and no gains before, just keep doing the right things and it will come off. I'll be praying for you! Kim Report Inappropriate Comment

Hang in there, we are only defeated when we give up. Giving up is a sure way to put on the pounds-been there and I don't want to go there again! I just got a pedometer and I like it. Report Inappropriate Comment

UPDATE ON MY SEEDS

Monday, March 16, 2009

I STARED MY WINTER SOWN SEEDS. I HOPE IT IS NOT TOO LATE. I REALLY LIKE THAT WEB SITE IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN THERE I THINK YOU WILL ENJOY IT I LEARNED A LOT. IT IS WINTERSOWN.ORG I CLEANED OUT A FEW OF MY CONTAINERS OUTSIDE OF OLD PLANTS AND LEAVES. I STIRRED THE SOIL WET IT THEN SOWED THE SEED I WANTED . THEN I LAYERED WITH SOIL THEN COVERED WITH CLEAR PLASTIC . I CUT AN OLD TABLE CLOTH. I TIED THE LARGE POTS WITH STRING AND USED RUBBER BAND ON SMALLER ONES. THEN I MADE 2 FLATS OF VEGGIES. I BOUGHT JIFFY GREENHOUSE WHICH HAS PELLETS. I ADDED THE WATER TO PELLETS AND WHILE THEY WERE SOAKING UP THE WATER I POKED HOLES IN THE TOP AND BOTTOM WITH ICE PICK. ONE FLAT I PLANTED BROCCOLI , CABBAGE, BRUSSELS SPROUTS. AND KOHLRABI ALSO CAULIFLOWER. THE SECOND ONE I PLANTED DIFFERENT TOMATOES DELICIOUS, EARLY GIRL, RED PEAR AND MORTGAGE LIFTER. PUT A RUBBER BAND ON EACH END TO KEEP THE LID ON. THEN SET OUTSIDE ON PICNIC TABLE

NOW ABOUT MY AERO GARDEN. I THINK EVERY TOMATO SEED GERMINATED. THE PEPPERS HAVEN'T COME UP YET. I PUT A TOMATO SEED IN WITH THEM IN CASE THEY DON'T SPROUT. THE BOOK SAID TO THIN THE PLANTS WHEN THEY WERE 2 INCHES . SO IT WAS TIME TO TRIM. OH I REALLY HATED TO DO THAT SUCH NICE LITTLE PLANTS . BUT I DID I TOOK SMALL SCISSORS AND CUT OUT ALL BUT ONE.

WELL THAT IS WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY SEEDS. I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED.
