Happy Earth Day!

Yesterday, in honor of Earth Day, I planted some of our starts out in the garden.

peas

I planted these peas and also zuchini, yellow squash, cucumbers, beets, beans, lettuce, butternut squash and some sunflowers at the edge of the garden. Now, I'm hoping there isn't a cold front or a hail storm heading our way. I am still waiting on the hot peppers, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes and heirloom tomatoes to germinate indoors.

We also went to an Earth Day concert at Asheville's infamous concert venue...The Orange Peel. It was my first time in and it was cool. I guess the sound system is pretty amazing and it is ranked #5 for the top 5 venues for concerts. I suppose that explains why Smashing Pumpkins came for 10 days last summer for their getting back together concerts! We had a great time down there and we found out information on how to Adopt-A-Street! All you have to do is pick up the litter along the street at least 6 times a year...since we all ready do that along our road, why not sign up, eh?

  1. Good luck with the street.

    Who did you see at the concert? I was tempted to come out to the Asheville for one of the Smashing Pumpkins shows. But not really tempted. I should say I saw they were there and I thought for a moment - that would be perfect that Amie and Mat live there and I could go to a show.

    Talk to you later.

  2. I'm so jealous of your garden. With the weather in AZ we can only do peppers, tomatoes, and zuchini...but I'm pretty sure only the peppers will make it past july. Oh well.
