Belly muscles and garden plots (makes you curious, huh?)

Happy Wednesday All!

Well bellydancing was loads of fun last night, and it is definitely beginning to work!  Even through myÂ…ahem...curvy figure (that figure is round), there are some pretty good muscles developing ~ feeling pretty good about thatÂ…and I am getting better at it too, more relaxed.

Well, the blood culture the doc took to pinpoint whatÂ’s causing my persistent cold/pneumonia grew NOTHING.  SighÂ…thought weÂ’d have an answer there, although antibiotics seem to take the symptoms down.  So now we are back to square one, elevated white countÂ…looks like IÂ’ll have to go through the whole “safety screening” to make sure itÂ’s nothingÂ…more bloodÂ…and they say I am dehydratedÂ…lolÂ…no kidding, theyÂ’ve taken enough to re-infuse me if necessaryÂ…lol.

I still think it is a lingering effect of my switch to preservative-free living, cuz my body did rebel, and I think this is itÂ’s last hurrah.

I did manage to get the guest room cleaned last night, run some laundry and get the bathroom cleaned.  Need to run some more laundry tonight and FOLD it all ~ yuck, thatÂ’s the part I donÂ’t like.  I donÂ’t mind it in the summer when I hang my clothes, but I hate laundry in the winter.

Well as promised, my garden plan follows; there is enough room in the 50 x 50 area for about 20 rows (we are planning 12 inch rows with 18 inches in between them for the cultivator to be able to weed through).  Right now we have 14 different varieties, and 6 open rows, some crops we will grow more than one row of, but it will leave us with room to experiment and add some other veggies if weÂ’d like veggies.  Like 1 zucchini plant J ~ so I donÂ’t drown in zucchiniÂ…lol.

I also have listed out when the seeds should be started indoors to get a head start ~ which is late here, cuz our last frost-free dates are general mid JUNE!!  So we donÂ’t lay the garden in until the first week of June ~ some of the cold weather stuff can get planted in a little earlier, but we have to baby them.

Here it is:
