Plants are beautiful!

Well, I feel like I've accomplished something worthwhile today! We planted a bunch of new plants in pots in front of our apartment. In addition to our 8 tomato plants, we have 3 strawberries, two catnip, one pepper plant, some lemon balm, some chamomile and some pretty geraniums (picked out by my 4 year old son :D). I might plant some lettuce, too, since we have a bit more space out there.

Also, we've treated our poor pitiful looking tomato plants for their aphid infestation and picked off the dead leaves. They're a sad sight to behold. On the other hand, our removal of the dead leaves revealed four fairly good sized green tomatoes one one of them. I'm hoping our plants survive the shock of all those aphids and resume thriving.

Weightwise, I'm down by about 6 pounds now! Yay! Adding the elliptical machine really helped things out. I'm going to continue my exercise and work on healthier choices for food (I have to see how long it takes for tomatoes to mature! Those are tasty tomatoes and are definitely healthy eating!) to continue the weight loss trend.
