This will be done when I get some actual workable compost from it. I’m so impatient, and check the bin every day!

I have a 3 by 8 SFG in my backyard now. This summer the yields weren’t great, but I know next year will be better. I planted and the yield:

• tomatoes – will have harvested 4 tomatoes by the end of summer
• cherry tomatoes – 1/2 lb. cherry tomates
• green beans – 1lb.
• peppers – 0 :(
• nasturtiums – many flowers
• marigolds – many flowers, keep some bugs away
• basil – tons of pesto
• cucumber – 2 tiny cucumbers
• zucchini – tons of flowers, no fruit

Once you put in the initial effort to set everything up, planting’s a breeze. I’m already planning for next year.

This was easy, maybe because I’m getting old? It was just a catalog of life experiences. Setting all 85 goals as done got tedious, so here are my 15 not done, prioritized from ones I am most to least interested in:

1. visit europe
2. see the northern lights
3. learn how to drive stick-shift
4. Learn to play the guitar
5. organise/take part in an easter egg hunt
6. Watch the Sound of Music
7. Swim with dolphins
8. Get a tattoo
9. smash something on purpose
10. make a prank phone call
11. Have a slumber party
12. build a sandcastle
13. go skinny dipping
14. hold a snake
15. Skydive
