What's on your Thursday menu RNYers?

Good morning! With my busy (hopefully temporary) work schedule I'm finding it hard to post regularly, but I do get on and read before bed every night.

Got a call from the bariatric center yesterday telling me that they had not received my October or November monthly evaluation forms from my doctor! Luckily it got straightened out and they have officiallly sent in my paperwork to insurance. Hoping for a quick approval! DH got his after only 2 weeks!

Qotd: I hated them as a kid, but I love them now. Planning on growing a few plants in my garden this year. Ive never grown them so we'll see how it works out!

breakfast: protein shake, coffee with flavored sugar free creamer

lunch: tuna creations packet on a bed of spinach, mini sweet peppers,

snack: pickles!

dinner: leftover pork tenderloin and broccoli.

Oh I should suggest that DH plant brussel sprouts this year!

Ever since it got cold I've been daydreaming about my spring garden! Lol I've never tried Brussels sprouts so we'll see how it goes!

Did you have the garden with pepper plants in 5 gallon buckets?

I did! I'm expanding my garden bed and adding a new one in the spring. I rotate, so this year it will be eggplant and green onions in the buckets.

Behold my 2018 garden plan! The beds are to scale but the big black block that is my house is not. There's a garden shed that also is not showing, and my 5 gallon buckets are behind it

I am surprised at my memory !I need to get some tips from you. I have some old planters that I plan on using this year as well.

I'm certainly no expert, I just really enjoy getting outside and staying busy and active, and feel super accomplished that I can produce my own healthy food. I likely won't eat nearly as much as I'm growing this summer, but friends, family, and coworkers are usually happy to take any extra off my hands. Happy to share what I know!

The only thing I'm good a growing is cucumbers and snap peas. I may get a green pepper or tomato here and there but otherwise just those 2. lol!

Disclaimer:I detest anything that goes along with gardening/yard work. So thats probably why. ;)

If you like zucchini they are super easy and only require watering every 2-3 days. You will have more zucchini than you know what to do with by just one plant :P

i actually struggle with peas, but I think part of that is critters digging up my seed peas, and the other part is that we've had almost 0 spring weather--seems we go from too cold to too hot within just a couple weeks!
