I always found going to the gym boring.  It is probably why I do so many other physical things.  One of my favorite things to do is garden.

This is the majority of our winter garden.  I planted lots of broccoli and then a bit of kale, cabbage, and lettuce.  Broccoli does have a tendency to be a favorite though.  And I enjoy flowers.  My Beloved thinks everything I plant should be edible but sometimes you do need food for the soul.

But then we have freezes and the flowers look like the picture.  My whole garden becomes a dead mass.  So take out my garden fork and start digging.  I sprinkle any of the flower seeds that are on the plants over the garden.

I end up with this.  I have gotten good work done and my body knows it!  Now my garden is almost ready for the next planting.  I am going to plant more in the front yard this year then last.  I am hoping eggplant and tomatoes, cantaloupe and watermelon, maybe a bit of lettuce and cucumbers, peppers.  I find that my summer garden is never as easy as my winter garden but I still enjoy it.
