Edible GARDEN... HEALTHY ME

Grown by me. Water bottle and fruit not from my garden.

​School is out and I await my final marks. I am so proud of myself and happy that I decided to go back to school and earn a certificate in Social Media Marketing - a field I enjoy. Now that my course is complete I have decided to keep my promise and focus on enjoying time with family and take care of myself both mentally and physically.

I L-O-V-E gardening, but I have a tendency to fall short in my Garden Goals. This year life (all aspects) is about focusing on a few goals at a time which will lead to greater accomplishments. I want to eat healthy so I am growing an edible garden in my backyard. Nothing too crazy... Mainly food that I like to eat. I began planting during the May long weekend, and finished two weeks later. Between last week and today I picked two large containers of various leafy vegetables. I am so thrilled I haven't had to buy lettuce, kale, swiss chard, spinach from the grocery store.

My Foodie goal is to eat at least one large meal from my garden daily. On my way to a healthier me with vegetables I’ve grown myself. By the end of next month I am looking forward to being like down a dress size. This is a challenge I know I will be able to achieve as it would be disappointing to waste what has been cultivated in my garden.

What hobbies do you have that allows you to wind down?
