One Small Change -- June

Lettuce we have been harvesting the past few days from our Container Garden

My One Small Change for the month of May was to NOT to use disposable dishes, cups and plastic ware at work. I did very very well. I did have to go back to my desk a couple of times to get my silverware. A little inconvenient but nothing that I couldn't tolerate. =). All in all I have to give myself an "A" for the month. I even managed to rinse out my coffee cup each day :-).

One half of our Container Garden

Spinach, Broccoli and Tomatoes

For the month of June, my One Small Change will be to nurture my Container Garden. I planted only veggies we enjoy eating. Carrots are the only thing I did not attempt that we enjoy. I have been faithfully watering everyday...sometimes twice a day. People tell me Container Gardens need lots of water. I have already had to "weed" some of the containers as well. They were the "good" kind of weeds. *nodding*


The plants are looking good so far. I harvested lettuce for sandwiches already. It tasted so fresh...yummy. I did not "start" those lettuce seeds....they were given to me. Thanks, BA and David! I planted my own lettuce and spinach seeds this weekend and will plant more in 2 weeks and again 2 weeks later. Hopefully, we will have lettuce and spinach throughout the summer.

The other half of the Container Garden

Green Peppers, Leaf Lettuce, Romaine Lettuce, Spinach and Tomatoes

All these veggies were started from seed by myself or by my friend, with the exception of the tomato plants.

Once again, to some this may not be much of a "Challenge", - it is a small amount of produce to keep track of - but for me, it will be challenging to keep everything alive, weeded and harvested.
