Independence Days update, week 1
So Sharon reminded me about this, and I’m not sure whether to do this on a weekly basis or a daily one. For me, daily makes more sense, seeing as this is a day to day thing.
But anyway, for this week, I –
Planted tomatoes, marigolds (bug control), peppers, and cucumbers
Harvested snowpeas, pea greens, lettuces, chard, and green onions
Preserved … well, I froze snow peas and regular peas, and I’m saving snow pea seeds for the fall
Prepared … let’s see … I bought a food dehydrator
Cooked something new? Nope, just the same things I always do. I cook dinner just about every night, and breakfast on school days
Managed reserves … we had leftovers for two days this week, as the fridge was getting overloaded (!)
Worked on local food systems … ordered my food from the co-op, which I’ll pick up on the 15th. 
The group added two more:
Composted… since I compost just about everything (junk mail mostly goes for bunny litter, which gets composted), I don’t have much to say on that
Learned a new skill … can’t say I did. I’ll have to look into that.
