This is a picture of the whole plot. We're making use of the front three plots for sugar snap peas, herbs, and lettuces (from left to right). The back two plots are still pretty empty, except for the mint in the back left corner planted by Greg. I'm saving the back right plot for iris and daffodil bulbs, to be planted after the first "morning frost". I'm still trying to decide when or if that happens in San Diego. =)
These are our lettuces! The first row is Nevada lettuce, second row is mesclun greens, and third row is arugula. On the very right is our delicious bok choy. =) This plot grows like crazy! We've had so much salad...
This is our herb & random stuff garden. In the middle is our rainbow chard, and around it are parsley, strawberry, rosemary, mint, shallot, and cilantro. The chard is delicious when thrown into soup. And the flavor of fresh herbs just picked from the garden is awesome. =)
One more picture: my new bike! I've started biking to and from school (instead of walking) and I am slowly overcoming my fear of riding next to cars. It's surprisingly tiring riding just the ~2 miles to school, but I swear it's uphill both ways! It's quite a good workout, and good cross-training for the marathon I suppose. I like the baskets in the back, which I use to hold my lunch. =)
Somehow even with all these new healthy lifestyle additions to my life, I have still managed to get sick. =( I've been in bed all day and unfortunately don't feel much better. =P I'm sad to be missing my last 20-mile run tomorrow... but hopefully can make it up later this week. Now for a weekend of rest and lots of fluids...

LOVE the garden! :) when do you have the TIME to keep up with the garden! that's what I want to know :)
thank you! yes i FINALLY feel better!! it's so nice to be able to feel normal again!
the garden is HUGE! it's part of the community gardens at my apartment complex, otherwise i would never have the space for it on my tiny balcony. =)
but yes...finding time is always tricky...:) luckily we only have to water it every few days and only 1x a week once it starts getting cooler, so it's not too much maintenance time. keeping up with EATING the produce is the major challenge!
