Soular Foods Community Garden Winter Planting

Last Saturday, my husband son and I joined RawBella, Mr. Hoover (of Hoover's restaurants) and helpers at the GMZ Soular Foods Community Garden in East Austin. We planted winter vegetables and strawberries and had a great time during the process. My 3.5 year old probably had the most fun. Here are a few pictures of him and others hard at work...

Mmmmm! Pickles and Watermelon!

I've been eating a lot of them lately, but I don't attribute them to being pregnant. People keep asking me if I've developed cravings, and I always say no. I haven't had cravings really.

Regarding pickles, I've always been a girl who likes turkey on my pickle sandwich. I have been eating them sans turkey and bread a lot more frequently lately though...hot, sour, dill...as long as it's a pickle. As for the watermelon, mommy see, mommy get. If watermelons were sold year-round, I'd eat them year-round. I'm consuming about one a week lately. Mostly plain, but sometimes with salt.

If I've been craving anything it's water. May have something to do with the pickles with hot sauce and salted-watermelon, but at least it's water. For someone like me, whose not a big water fan, it helps that my body craves it these days when I really need it.
