Dandelions=gardening exhaustion

This will be brief. On Tuesday I dug out about 3000 dandelions from our yard. And I could barely move yesterday. This pregnancy thing is beginning to interfere with this gardening thing.

At the beginning of the year, I had big plans for a veggie garden this year. Raised boxes, spring, summer and fall crops, 20 different varieties of edibles. Yummmm! Well, we are almost at May and the only things I have planted in the beds are radishes, carrots, beets, and peas (and I only got around to doing this last week!) Oh, and dormant strawberry roots, that hopefully will begin to leaf in about a month. My spring lettuce, broccoli, spinach, and herbs are still sitting in their seed packets, except for the few I tried to start indoors, with mixed results. I am just too tired to till the soil and bend over this big-ole-belly for hours, all while keeping an eye on a two-year-old and running inside for 8000 potty emergencies (hers and mine).

Hopefully I will get a burst of energy this weekend to sow all the rest of the seeds, then I can just maintain the flower beds for weeks until the veggies hopefully grow.
