So this is what my seed starts and transplants currently look like. The transplants were so small that I was able to actually scoop them out with a spoon, roots and all, and I think that all of them are going to make it just fine. I haven’t noticed any signs of distress, with the… Read More The Final Product
If you want your kids to grow something fast that they can eat too, try radishes. Seriously one of the fastest growing (and therefore rewarding things to try for kids). I let the kids plant some radishes in a little pot that has been sitting by my kitchen sink on February 19 and this is… Read More Radish Rewards
He-Man had been requesting some banana muffins for breakfast for over a week, so I finally made him some. Super easy recipe… 1/2 cup shortening 1 cup mashed bananas (I just use 2 for this recipe unless they are super small. I freeze over-ripe ones and just pull them out the night before –… Read More Banana and Blueberry Muffins, who knew?

I’ll be the first to admit – I am no gardening expert. Just an enthusiast. Successes and failures both around here. I still think my beets… Read More My New Toys

Warrior Princess keeps asking me every time I water the plants, “Bath?” Yes, baby, a… Read More Giving the seeds a drink in the tub
Even though I am listening to my favorite Celtic songs (makes me feel green!) and even planted a couple of the veggies that claim you can plant “as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring,” it snowed again yesterday. The instructions on those packets crack me up. They must not be for… Read More Snow Again…
