Today we got out early and planted all of the vine plants, cukes, yellow zucchini, buttercup squash,watermelon, cantalope , sunflowers, and peppers.
Then watered both the corn and leafy crops.

Then we took a short nap and then back to put in a well line to the garden and water again. The wind and sun had dried everything out so it needed another round of water.

I thinned turnips and ate the greens while I was thinning also tried some
mesclun and radishes.YUM. ...

It really isn't bad at all. The first day I drank green tea so I really had problems going to sleep. I know not to do that again. I guess its also a learning process.

I asked to change my screen name from Donna31, which is who I was, to Pilgrim. I want to reflect that I am on a journey to health.

I need to make a variety of food today. Otherwise, I'm going to get bored very quickly. So that's today's project.

It's been a full week of 100% raw. I can't say I feel better because I don't. I still have my aches and pains. But I haven't been depressed this week, and I have lost about a pound a day. It took me over 50 years to get ...
