Independence Days challenge, week 2

It's been a really hard week around here, so I completely forgot to post about the Independence Days Challenge. Here's my measly account:

1. Plant: lemon thyme, creeping rosemary, grape tomatoes, anise, yarrow
7. Eat the food: I'm still working on clearing out last year's frozen food to make room for this year's. We've made lots of bread and muffins with frozen squash and pumpkins. But Andi's on this insane elimination diet right now to try to address a possible allergy for Lucy, which means she can no longer eat locally, vegetarian, or any of our stored food. We're buying all kinds of things we normally wouldn't.
