Toasty Toasty Quite Contrary

My garden grows! All my plants are sprouting, and before long I'll be feasting on a smorgasbord of veggies and berries. I am confident that this year I'll have real, delicious, BIG vegetables instead of the hobbit food I grew last year. That is because I've got a nice big plot at the new house that has good soil, and plenty of sun. So far all I've harvested is rhubarb, but I think my pies are nearing County Fair quality.

Here's the other stuff I've planted (I'll give updates on my harvests although you probably don't care at all):

corn

tomatillos

tomatoes

potimarron squash

cucumbers

zucchini

broccoli

celery

spinach

kale

Swiss chard

lettuce

snow peas

green beans

garlic

onions

carrots

parsnips

radishes

asparagus (for next spring)

strawberries

raspberries

mint

oregano

and basil

I realize it's a really, really long list, but I plan on eating a lot, so it should work out.

In other news, training is going well. We had a time trial yesterday, and I was able to beat everyone except one of the biathletes. It was a good result, and it was an even better confidence-builder. I still have a long way to go before I hit the world cup, but at least I'm on track for now.

I also got plane tickets home to CO this week! I'll be in Steamboat from Aug 4-23, so if you're out there, you should come visit me in the 'Boat.

Love and Adventures,

Toast
