Sorry for the lack of updates.... I've been super busy working at 105degrees, a really exciting new restaurant in Oklahoma City. We have been open for just about a month now and things are going really great! We just had a special event called "Live and Learn" where we hosted speakers from throughout the raw foods community and had a grand opening with a Gala dinner and even a special performance by Kyle Dillingham!
Increasing the amounts of raw foods in my diet has helped me lose about 30 pounds so far this year! I'm hoping to lose more, too. Maybe if I can get back into my bike riding routine, before it gets too cold.

Early Harvest

Tomatoes! I've been having trouble getting to them before the mockingirds do. Sorry for the delay. More to come.

Garden Update.

Coming soon. This blogging thing is hard for me to keep up with. It has been a few weeks so I'll try to take pictures of the tomato progress. I already harvested about 4 yellow cherry and one husky cherry red. There are lots of tomatoes on the vine, but they are mostly all green still. I'm also starting a new shade bed east of the tomatoes.

tomatoes!

Here are some pictures of the tomatoes, it's amazing how much they've grown in the last week or so, nearly all the plants (over a dozen) have tomatoes now, but i'll have to dig for the labels to be able to tell you which are which. There is sorrel at the end of the bed near the large pot, some peppers at the other end, and some cilantro stuck in between there somewhere. It's hard to see in the pics. Also, the first shot is of the balcony where I have, yes, more tomatoes, basil, and catnip.

Here are some pics of the Hosta and Impatiens I planted recently, they all seem to be doing really well. These beds get alot of shade, not much direct sunlight at all. Most of the hostas are starting to bloom, except for the one that Lucy decided to eat. I expect most of the impatiens will get much bigger and fill in. There are also Hydrangeas, Thyme, and some moneywort as groundcover but it isn't doing much just yet. Lindsey just filled in the beds with Eucalyptus mulch, it's supposed to help keep bugs away, but the mosquitoes sure don't seem to mind it! I just wanted to share these pics, but i'll upload some of the tomato garden next.
