getting my mojo back


I am slowly returning to my old self after MMT. I have been able to run pain-free, although the legs still feel somewhat tired. In addition I have started playing chess again and although I have had to drop down the difficulty several levels, it is good to be playing again. There is no better game of strategy than chess. The garden is doing well, this is the first year that nothing died on me after I transplanted it into the garden. It is nothing fancy this year, I have:
  1. Four beefsteak tomato plants
  2. Three poles' worth of Kentucky Wonder green beans (three vines per pole, the climbing variety)
  3. Three sweet banana peppers (personally I could have done without them but the wife likes them)
  4. Four heads of some oriental cabbage variety (I found the seeds in my garage from last year I guess)
  5. Swiss chard, basil, spearmint, and parsley (the spearmint and parsley look like they may not have come up, I may have to replant)
Everything came from seeds, I did not buy any of my plants. I prefer this because I know what variety I am getting, plus it is exciting watching a plant grow and produce vegetables, knowing it came from a little seed.
