  • Somehow missed your post, Blondie. Too bad the varmints brought your veggie gardening to a halt. I have several raised beds for my veggies and they're near the house, and I have about half an acre around the house fenced. Fenced to keep the deer out and the dogs in, when they're outside. Anything I hope to keep has to be…
  • Hazel, I love the look of your "allotment" and the fact that you travel out of your way to do some of your gardening is admirable! I've been in my raised beds all morning, tilling, raking and weeding the lettuce, onions and greens...can't wait for warmer weather to get full into it. 40 pounds lost - excellent!! I'm sure by…
  • trials and errors... forgive me, it's early and I watched basketball last night....
  • RaeBeeBaby - your post sounds familiar to me, very familiar, but I'm comfortable with my raised beds - and I hope to garden until I drop. We'll have to share tips on food preservation! Sounds like we could share tips on other things as well - like the trails an errors of living in an old farm house!
  • Kerri, when I think of the portions I was eating a few months back it blows my mind. Now I get hungry between meals, big time, but I'm learning to use healthy snacks to help get from one to the other. So far it's working. Jellis, a lot of veggies grow great in pots. I have several large and some not so large raised beds…
  • Starting weight - 160.4 Now - 156 I would like to be 120 - that was my steady weight for decades and I functioned well.
  • Good Morning ladies. This, MFP, is my first attempt at any sort of social networking so I apologize in advance for being awkward. I much prefer a face to face conversation but these days that's a bit old fashion, not to mention impossible in some cases. I, too am a grandmother jgnatca. Only two grandkids though, but I've…
  • I figured It out, Kerri!
  • Good Morning! Sounds like you were busy yesterday - and dirty. I love the smell of garden "dirt"! I had a truck of composted manure delivered yesterday. I hear we have snow flurries coming again by Wednesday - UGH! I was hoping for a dry week, there are things I can plant if the weather would cooperate. I'd love to join…

  • Canada? I'm a bit farther south. To be honest I had to google courgette - I'd call that summer squash or the green version - zucchini. I grow that, too. Sadly I like it fried - have to rethink that! I have three types of lettuce and green onions in the ground now. Peppers will be the first thing I start in the green house.…
  • Kerri - I can finally relate! Hello! I, too, love gardening in any fashion. I've been dieting since early February but only with MFP three days. I like this way of dieting - oddly I don't mind logging everything I eat - it sure opened my eyes about my portion control - or lack of it. And - I am sick of having to buy fresh…
  • I'm new, too - three days in. I'm finding the social aspect of MFP a bit uncomfortable (for me) but when I read your post it reminded me of someone I know, someone dear to me. I'm probably old enough to be your mother so listen up. You are knocking on diabetes' door, and once you step through your life changes in ways you…
  • Thanks to all.
