Earth Day
Seeing that tomorrow is Earth Day, I have decided to celebrate and do my small share to save the Earth. In our backyard we have a small raised bed, and I have decided to utilize that to plant a small vegetable garden! I picked up some seeds today at the store, and I hope to start them indoors before moving them outdoors when the weather warms up a bit more. I’m going to attempt to grow some Red Cored Danvers Carrots, Peaches and Cream Bicolour Corn, Romaine Lettuce, Garlic Chives, Lincoln Homesteader Peas, and of course a Sugar Baby Watermelon! As my Dad can attest to, I have tried for many years to grow a watermelon (which I love), and I have NEVER had a successful season! I hope that being in Calgary helps out a bit We also have a small garden in the front of the yard which I am going to plant some Evening Sun Sunflower and some Lupins. It should make our house quite the sight when they are all in bloom.
For Earth day, I am also going to not use my desktop computer for the entire day. It is quite the power hog, and my not running it I will be saving that extra little bit of power.
Just doing my part! To see more on Earth Day, visit Earth Day.
