1. planted: replanted some more peas that didn't come up.
2. harvested: nothing yet, but i found four stalks of wild garlic that i want to nab. three are in our back yard and one is in the front yard of someone down the hill from us. my potatoes are sprouting now! the purple peruvian ones. yay!
3. preserved: not so much.
4. stored: i stored 3 more liters of water, and about 7 cups of white rice that the roommate left behind when he moved out.
5. prepped: built the bean trellis frame, just need to add strings. made stick-trellises for the peas. dug up half a bed that will hopefully be finished and planted with popcorn and sunflowers and melons this weekend.
6. managed: went through the freezer and composted some old old veggies. cleaned out the fridge of all the things the roommate had left in there to rot.
7. cook something new: made the red, gold, green and black chili from fatfreevegan.com - it was excellent!
8. work on local food systems: shopped at the farmer's market per usual and welcomed back some of the farmers who were returning for the summer season.
9. reduce waste: i ordered pet food online and specified that i didn't want any packing peanuts or other plastic packing materials, so they stuffed the box with shredded junk mail :D that made me very happy. have also been eating the food that the roommate left behind him. snagged a 3L soda bottle from our neighbor's recycling to store water in.
10. learned a skill: hand-cultivating a garden bed was new to me. it's some work!
eight out of ten this week :) not bad.

I've been known to snag a 3 liter water bottle or two from recycling bins too! (other people's bins, not mine that is)
Great stuff going on! Lisa in MN
