    How I Ended Up With 8 Different Tomato Plants When I Hate Tomatoes

    May 19, 2021 / 3 Comments

    I hate tomatoes. I almost never eat tomatoes and 90% of my tomato consumption comes in the form of pizza and/or tomato sauce. I don't like tomatoes on my burgers or my sandwiches and I hate tomatoes in my salads. So then why am I growing eight different tomato varieties? I will tell you why, it is Cal Poly's Tomatozania's fault...kind of.

    My Brussels Sprout Experience

    February 12, 2021 / 0 Comments

    I am the weirdo that really likes Brussels sprouts, always have, so I was super excited to try my hand at growing my own. I've seen them at farms before and think they are just the most bizarre looking plant, which was just a bonus.

    Why and How I Started Backyard Composting

    July 29, 2020 / 4 Comments

    Thanks to COVID and quarantine my days and weeks and months have somewhat started to blend, so I can't, off the top of my head, tell you when I started composting, it was sometime between March and May, but I can tell you how and why. The idea of composting in my backyard started small and slow, and then out of nowhere blew itself up into existence.

    Quarantine Day 68-70: 7 Things I Learned in 70 Days

    May 26, 2020 / 1 Comment

    Today marks 70 days of self isolation. 70 days since I was last at work. 70 days since I was last able to have any sort of real social gathering. 70 days since I have been able to visit my mom. It has been 70 days of ups and downs, good days, bad days, productive days and lazy days. I've had days where I've really struggled, days where it was hard to get out of bed, but lately, I have found myself in a really good place. I have used this time of isolation to work on projects and catch up on some entertainment. I've also used this time to…

    Quarantine Day 44-50: Nothing New

    May 6, 2020 / 0 Comments

    This will be a super short, pretty much pointless, only writing because I said I'd check in weekly post because I really have nothing new to report. May is Melanoma Awareness Month, so I decided on whim to join Melanoma Research Foundation's Virtual Miles for Melanoma event. Meaning for this entire month I will be walking, jogging and running to build awareness while raising money for melanoma research. (I will talk about this more in an upcoming dedicated post, so stay tuned.) Besides that I am still working out regularly and I'm currently working on redoing my workout routine.

Although my moods and the ways in which I'm handling this new reality fluctuate daily, sometimes even hourly, for the most part I have fallen into a pretty basic routine -

    Quarantine Day 9-11: Looking Forward to Earth Hour

    March 28, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Quarantine is starting to get to me. I'm doing my best to try to keep moving and stay productive, but if I'm being honest with myself I haven't done the best job the last few days. I'm still not sleeping in really late, I'm usually up at least 10-15 min before 8 am, but I had been telling myself I would be up closer to 6 am. When I am up, I'm not being as productive as I should be and in all honesty I'm not even sure where the time is going. I haven't binge watched a ton of TV or spent hours upon hours on YouTube and TikTok.…
