Hi to all my imaginary friends that I think are reading this blog since no one posts any comments!!!! That means YOU! Early morning and we have been shipping plants out like crazy, still maybe one week to go. Arms are sore, fingers scratched up, Oh and the finger I slammed in the car door last week during the heat wave, it is fine - if a bit bruised. That is when I know I am over the edge when I start getting injuries. Spring shipping is like a 4 week marathon, everything has to be in a fine rhythm. Starting with food, rest, vitamins and a positive mental attitude. The breakfast of choice has been a smoothie packed with goodies: nuts, yogurt, banana, fruit of the day (pineapple, blueberries frozen last summer, strawberries), a stalk of celery, 1-2 leaves of dinosaur kale, golden flax seed meal, flax oil, maca and sometimes ginger and lots of filtered water. Now the combo with pineapple is particularly pretty because the kale green carries the color. This is good fuel for 4-5 hours!
The plants are looking really good this year, despite the losses in fuchsia land ( the freeze night was also very windy and the remay blew off!) I now have a foolproof system to hold it down but that will be for next year, sigh.
I have been expanding my herbal studies and also my perfume studies. A good friend just went to Longwood Gardens and visited the making scents display, rave reviews. It is definitely on my field trip list for this summer.
I will have some exciting news to break later this month as soon as things are in place, I don't want to jinx it! It is growing related and fun!
That's it, off to be a "hose jockey" for a few hours.
