Planting seeds and the now in the plastic greenhouse.

Green Gardening

Okay I'm creating a garden this spring and summer. First is the container herb garden I'm doing on the deck of my apartment. Next is the box above ground garden in my partner's parents backyard.  This will be the challenge because her dad who means well is bent on taking control of how it gets to be done.  Well what you are seeing here is the starter kit of some of the herbs, flowers and veggies. The starter kit I got at Lowe's but I saw the same kit at Walmart one dollar cheaper. It is up to you how you desire to spend your money. Last summer I lived in a small ocean side town so I bought at the local hardware store. I desire to spend money locally yet also the people working at Walmart and Lowe's live in my community too.
Alright I digress. Now in this container the seeds will germinate for a few days and then sprout. In about 4-6 weeks they will be ready to be transplanted outdoors in pots and the garden. Here are the photographs of me getting it started.

The Spring Equinox

So its here for everyone. The time we get start digging in the dirt again for some. The time we can take the bike out of the trainer to test a new paved surface or get back on some dusty road. Yes. Sap running fresh in my bones has me get the kayak out for long river paddles and back waters excursions.  Like this slider many of us are emerging out of winter shells. Some of us have stayed busy at the local gym but many of you have been impacted by the winter snow storms; take it easy if you are just beginning a new workout program take it slow. We at Open Spaces Exploration are excited about our new business. Please feel free to post your adventures outdoors. Lets get outdoors in 2010.

An Adventure is Waiting out Doors

Welcome fellow adventurers to Open Spaces Exploration's blog. Here you can post pictures, comments and updates on current camping, hiking and kayaking trips. First I must say this has come together after 15 years of work in various fields dealing with nature that has brought me here. I also get to thank Ron Davis, Master Coach for believing in me and being the confidant for many years. It is in remembrance of his spirit, love and laughter we will live into 2010 of living life out loud. I am anxious to get things started with our first planned excursion canoeing and photography in the Atchafalaya Basin. Spring is coming, I can always tell when the red robins show up in flocks. Here in Hammond I have seen so many robins on the ground eating the worms that have come to the surface due to rains we gotten. Once again welcome and come get out doors with me.
