🌱🌱 This winter I’m growing my own microgreens and salad greens INDOORS! If you don’t have garden space outdoors, live in a cold climate where you can’t grow through the winter, or want to ensure #foodsecurity, then growing indoors is a great option. On January 10, 2022 I planted speckled pea microgreens as well as green onions, cilantro, spinach and lettuce indoors under grow lights. I live in Victoria BC, zone 8, and we’ve had a good dump of snow in the last couple of weeks. The temperatures are far too cold in the winter here to grow much so I’m trying my hand at growing indoors.

On Dec 7, 2021 I had a total abdominal hysterectomy to remove my uterus, cervix, and a massive fibroid. I was terrified going into it but found solace in hearing other women’s stories, so I’m sharing my hysterectomy story with you. You’re not alone.
