My Vegetable Garden: 2 weeks later.

The garden is blooming! Every vegetable has shown growth this week! The green beans are still the biggest of them all, the cucumber leaves are growing steadily and the carrots and bell peppers are slowly coming around. There's a slight problem though... the carrots are too close to each other and won't have enough space to grow underground so I need to transplant them soon. When they grow a little larger I'll spread them out a little more.  The weather has been great lately - it has been raining at night and sunny during the day - optimal weather for plant growth! I'm so happy that this project is moving along so well :)

My Vegetable Garden: 1 week later.

After one week, my garden has grown tremendously! I'm soooo happy! Every morning, before the sun hits it, I water them carefully. So far, the green beans have showed the most growth, the cucumbers next, the carrots after them, while the bell peppers and onions are slow to grow. I'm sure they'll come along sooner or later, but I'm so proud of my garden thus far!

The cucumbers, about 2 inches tall.

My Vegetable Garden!

Today I started my own vegetable garden! I planted cucumbers, onions, carrots, bell peppers and green beans. I've been wanting to do this project for a while, but never had the time. My whole point of doing this was to go GREEN by eating what I produce, use organic products and keep growing these vegetables indefinitely. I'll keep you updated as they progress and grow.

All my little babies!

YUME GA ARU.

I have a dream... that is, to move and work in Japan. I'm one step closer to that dream, as I have an interview for a company to teach English in Japan! I'll be working hard until April 4, trying to perfect a sample lesson plan and to gain the confidence to perform it in front of people. I've never wanted to do something so badly, as I do with wanting to move to Japan. My visit last month to Japan was such a tease and it made me want to make my dream come true.

YUME GA ARU! GANBARIMASU!

Fall Blues.

It just started to get cold here in Los Angeles. It's quite weird to think about jackets and sweaters when it hasn't even gotten cold yet until late October! Last week it was still in the 90s.... Anywho, this weather excites me for many reasons: dressing up, lazy days watching movies, eating to stay warm, exercising from all that eating...but most importantly, the cold weather means its almost Thanksgiving and Christmas! 

After 2 months of being in LA, I finally felt a little homesick yesterday. All I could think about at work was laying out at the beach, walking my dog, going to a neighbor island and relaxing... My heart and soul will always be lost in Hawaii. I can only imagine how amazing the 13 days will be while home in December. 

I can't let my mind wander too far to the Pacific though... I need to keep focused for another 2 months and live life in LA :)
