My meditations

Gardening is therapy for me. I love it. I have always had plants around and now that we have a big back yard, I am able to garden like I have always wanted to. I grew up around it, my mom, my grandparents, everyone always had a great garden so we had tasty treats all summer long.
Maybe I am over eager, but I planted my hardy seeds today. I did sugar snap peas, arugula, and lettuce. I think they have a really good chance of making it. This year I am going to do all things lettuce a bit differently though - I am going to plant at 2 week intervals so that I don't have a huge heap of leafy goodness all at once. I want to space it out a bit. So I have 2 rows of arugula right now and 1 row of lettuce.
I also discovered Jiffy greenhouses - AWESOME! They are these plastic boxes with pods inside them. You expand the pods by adding water, then you can plant seeds in them. It's a great way to start your sowing early. I'm so excited to see if they work!!
I also had to treat my houseplants today because we have (gross!!) fungus gnats!! We have had them for quite a while, but I finally sat down and did some research to see what they truly were. Yuck! They have already killed 2 of my plants, and were starting on a third. So now I have to treat all my houseplants (even the ones that weren't sick) for 3 weeks, hoping to kill them off. I hate them! They are super annoying and look just like fruit flies, only bigger. I repotted my infested spider plant and I'm hoping it will pull through.

Ahh, spring. Just being outside today was enough to get me through the whole week.
