Yesterday got away from me. I honestly do not recall what I did after work!
Today I have the day off, and it began early, taking care of personal business so I could get to the fun part of the day. I went to Starbucks and lingered over coffee and tea while I watched Genetic Roulette, a hugely informative film about the GMO issue.
It is available through the end of today for free via the website. I wish I’d watched it a month ago so I could have shouted from the rooftops all month “WATCH THIS FILM!!!”
Those living in California will vote next week on whether or not GMO food sold in that state will be labeled as such. The rest of the country is holding its breath to see if it passes. I’m telling everyone I know to tell everyone they know.
Next I began a book about container gardening. I also did much Internet reading about square foot gardening, herbs, fruits, veggies and non GMO heirloom seed sources. Fascinating stuff.
Yup, I’m gonna start a garden. I’m rather excited. It will be a raised bed garden as the soil in Florida is not ideal. I think I’ve got more sand than soil out back.
A friend is mentoring me, and I can’t wait to get started. I can’t wait to step outside and grab a handful of greens. I can’t wait to be able to grow my own tomatoes. I can’t wait to smell lavender in my yard.
To make a green smoothie with what I’ve grown, that will be an awesome feeling.
