Seeds of Change is giving away free seeds for the cost of shipping. Yes, it’s really that easy! I ordered some yesterday, what a great opportunity to try some new varieties and get some seeds stocked up for, well, you know… the Zombie Apocalypse

Using my Mini Soil Blocker for Tomatoes & Peppers

Gonna get planting this weekend!
So I have it on my schedule that today, Saturday and Sunday are days to plant my tomatoes, peppers, and I am going to try to do early watermelons. I am planting by the moon phases as according to the Farmer’s Almanac.

What’s happened in the last few months
Well, so much has happened I should update all of that, at least the stuff I can remember. You know, it’s kind of funny because I remember thinking quite often “I need to blog this!” but I just never had the time. I heard it said by another woman who …Read More
I'm
a thirty-something wife and mother of two and I firmly believe that people
should be living life on their own terms. My terms involve
lots of domestic things, animals, and teaching my daughters to drive a
