Beltane Early Growth Moon
The garden is well underway. Beets, onions, chard, kale, carrots, cucumbers, sugar snap peas, tomatoes, peppers, leeks, egg plants and garlic all in various growth stages. The garlic crop may be my weakest in several years.
Kate and I will transplant this morning. We’re going to move hosta, hemerocallis and bleeding hearts to a mounded area near our fire pit. Javier got the area prepared on Memorial Day and moved the fire pit into the center of the ring that Mark built. He’ll fill the fire pit and the ring with a material that will be fireproof and weed proof.
Putting in some shade plants will give the area a more landscaped feel. My goal is to have it ready for a visit by the grandkids sometime in July and for the Woolly meeting also that month.
The exercises I got from my physical therapist have already eased up the pain in my biceps. My posture, which both Lervick (orthopedist) and Poulter (physical therapist) said tilted to the left, has changed, too.
The intensity workouts I’ve been doing work, too. That’s the one minute of aerobics at the most flat-out I can stand, getting my body into the anaerobic range, followed by a set of resistance work while the heart rate goes down below 110, then another minute of aerobics, and repeat until 4 high intensity aerobic intervals and 4 resistance sets are done.
