Massage Therapy School

For those of you who don't know yet, I am currently enrolled in massage therapy school in Rutherfordton (http://www.wholeyou.com/). It's about one or two weekends a month with my graduation in January of next year. So far, I have been to four classes and I have already learned Swedish massage and joint mobilization. It is so wonderful! I really should have done this years and years ago. So, if anybody wants a free massage, I am more than willing to practice on you! I'm hoping that when I graduate I can open my own shop and work completely organically. Crossing my fingers!

Gardening

Well, been in the yard most of the day, trying to get most of my plants in the ground. In addition to the lavender, rosemary, kyria, fig tree, comfrey, chocolate mint, salvia, oregano, horehound, lemon balm, thyme, and bay that are my permanent fixtures, I have added a plethora of summer veggies and herbs. In the fall I started garlic and onions that are doing wonderfully. A few weeks ago my mom and I started some shallots, leeks, spinach, and mesclun mix. And today I added three different types of tomato (San Marzano, Cherokee Purple and a cherry), chamomile, kale, collards, snap peas, and banana pepper. Later I will add nasturtiums, yellow squash, bell pepper, parsley, cilantro, basil, pole beans, bush beans, and chard. Like I said, I am being very ambitious with my garden this year. And to think that I have approximately 60 square feet to work with total! I love it! Anyway, pics to come very soon so you all can see what I've been up to!
