A few weeks ago my mom gave me a Jiffy greenhouse to start seeds in. My egg carton seeds have not being doing so well. The only ones to sprout were the tomatoes, and they have been transplanted in peat pots for a while now.
Well, its been several weeks since I filled up my greenhouse with seeds, and today I just barely transplanted 22 very tall seedlings into peat pots.
I still have a lot of basil, bell peppers and a few tomatoes in that greenhouse, but as you can see, I’m over flowing with plant life! I’m so excited for my garden this year! It’s going to take some creativity to make good use of all these plants!
Here is a little basil baby surrounded by tomatoes.
On a different note, we had the pleasure of taking a quick road trip for the weekend recently. This was my first time in New Mexico! We started in Fruita, CO so Joe could ride Bikerpelli. Once we found out that the event was canceled due to bad weather (Joe went back the next weekend to complete the ride), we decided to head South. It’s a good thing they didn’t ride. The mud was horrible! This is what Joe’s tire looked like just after riding through the parking lot!
We visited Taos, which I had never been to before. It would be a fun place to vacation to in the winter, I think. Then we decided to make our way West to the Grand Canyon. It was Joe’s first time there, and my second time. I hadn’t been there in about 12 years and once again, when I saw the depth of those rocks open before me, I was left breathless.
Here is Joe enjoying the view.
So amazing!
We even found a nice place to mountain bike, away from all the tourists!
As we headed up North, making our way back home, we came across a petrified wood forest and some really cool rock formations. So cool!
Here’s an interesting scene while heading North in Arizona.
Our Subaru, Thor is a pretty good vehicle for road trips! Joe is getting seriously interested in something bigger and more RVish, though.
That was a really fun trip, I love visiting new places! I only wish that we could have spent a bit more time in each area, it was a rather rushed trip. We traveled into four different states within 3 days! Well, that’s all for now. I had a huge salad for dinner last night and that got me very excited about raw food. Very soon, I will be posting some date ball recipes! In the meantime, go find someplace new to explore! Sometimes, that can be found right in your own back yard.
