Garden Update #2

Anyone want to do a veggie exchange later this summer?  The garden is looking pretty good, and I'm excited to share that I have two small green tomatoes!  My pea plants are now several inches taller than the stakes, and are climbing down the chicken wire fence.  The pea, green bean, tomato, and cantaloupe plants all have blooms that promise fresh fruit and veggies.  All-in-all it's exciting to see and great to know I haven't killed it (yet).  My watermelon plant, which I had figured was a goner, has actually bounced back and is looking ok.  Now we'll just have to see if I actually get fruit off it before the frost, seeing how far behind it is. 

Healthy Traveling Tip

I don't know about you, but I get really snacky when traveling. This weekend we headed to Wisconsin to see my best friend from college, Dawn, get married. This trip though, I got smart. In addition to bringing the normal m&ms and snacks I also packed a cooler with organic carrot sticks and fruit. We'll have this in our room so hopefully we can snack on something more filling and healthy than the empty calorie snacks we normally gravitate towards. Progress!
