Rhubarb- not officially "in" the garden so it has more space to spread. (Same with our mint.)
The planted garden1. Plant something: I just finished putting in the rest of my garden this week. I put in rhubarb, peppermint, onion, potatoes, squash and broccoli.
2. Harvest something: Uhmmm... I don't have anything ready to harvest at this point. I have been weeding.
3. Preserve something: Getting plans made to u-pick strawberries and can jam.
4. Prepare something: The DH has been working on tying more fishing flies.
5. Cook something: I cook everyday... last night's dinner was fried chicken. Tonight we are having nachos with refried beans.
6. Manage reserves: We just cleaned out our garage and can now reach our bean, wheat and rice reserves.
7. Work on the local food system: Will be checking in at the local strawberry farm for info on when their harvest will be ready.
8. Learn or work on a new skill: Will be sewing, quilting, baking and candy making this week and next.
9. Serve someone: I served my DH by planting rhubarb. (I can't stand the stuff) I am also planning my church's Far Above Rubies (Titus 2) classes for early and late summer as well as fall.
Now it's your turn: Tell me in the comment section what you are doing!

Hi Cyndi,
Thanks for blog mention and for taking the time to leave a comment on my new blog!
Your garden looks wonderful - can't wait til we are back in a house where we can plant more again. Looks like it'll be a while, so I guess our plants will have to "bloom where they're planted" in their containers. *chuckle*
It's fun to see the challenge spread. :) I posted my week one update on Sunday - the next one will be this coming Sunday. I find that I am thinking about it all the time during the week. I'll have to find something to preserve, LOL. In the heat of August, I'll have to find something to plant.
