Earlier this week, Angela posted about her weekly goals. I decided to join in the fun with some goals of my own! This week, I will:
1. Replant the spinach in our garden
2. Plant ‘cool season’ crops (kale, Swiss chard, etc)
3. Foam roll 2x/day so I don’t get any overuse injuries
4. Bike 80 miles total (39 down already!)
5. Finish our wedding thank you notes!
Why is #1 on the list? Well, before you think everything in the Savvy Garden is fun and games, allow me to show you this:
Those flower buds you see there? That would be my spinach “bolting” because of last week’s heat wave. Once it goes to flower like that, the plant puts all of its energy into growing flowers, instead of delicious spinach leaves. Yesterday, I tore up all of the plants (after picking all the edible leaves, of course!), and planted new spinach and radish seeds.
Unfortunately, the oregano hasn’t fared so well either…
On the bright side, some very happy things are happening in the garden as well!
We will have many Cherry and Sungold tomatoes soon…I ate my first one yesterday, and it was fantastic!
We should have peas in a few weeks…
And we’re finally seeing some watermelon growth! This one has practically doubled in size since I took this picture on Monday!
Hopefully, Dan and I will finish prepping the space for the cool season crops tonight so I can plant after tomorrow’s bike ride. If I foam roll and write a few more thank you notes today, I’ll be well on my way to completing all my weekly goals!
Do you set daily, weekly, monthly, etc goals? What are your current goals?
