How does your garden grow?

-
Here's an update to our garden:
We have already received our seeds and have started them. We now have some nice plants going and will be able to plant them in a couple of weeks when the threat of frost is over with.

To see what our Spring Garden Plan is please go here

We ended up not ordering broccoli but did end up ordering a few extra things.

Here is what else we will be planting:
  1. Garlic (1 bulb to make many little plants)
  2. Strawberries -- one of those round 2 tiered strawberry plant things with the sprinkler in the middle (from gurneys.com) Comes with 50 ozark beauties (can't wait to make strawberry jam-pies-bread-short cake, etc.)
  3. Rhubarb (to go with the strawberries)
  4. 2 Elderberry bushes
  5. 4 Apple trees (2 of Pixie Crunch and 2 of Apple Goldrush)
  6. Blueberry bush (great for pies, pancakes, muffins, etc. and rich in Anti-oxidants!)

All of the above are either waiting to be shipped or are in transit as we speak. We have determined where our Elderberry bushes and trees are going to go but the blueberry, Rhubarb, and strawberries are still a mystery but we will figure it out.

If you are planning a garden please leave me a comment with your link and I will post them for others to see.

Blessings,

Micki

Tea Tree Oil I

I have heard so much about this oil and thought I would finally try it. My excuse to finally get it was I found a great little homemade recipe online for diaper rash (or prevention of) using Aloe, tea tree oil, etc. (I will post this recipe later). So since I will be switching to cloth diapers soon and wanted to also switch to a more natural diaper wipe (using the recipe I found in a spray bottle to a dry wash cloth makes a good "diaper wipe") I went ahead and ordered from my favorite little website http://www.vitacost.com/ and my items just came in a couple of days ago. **Even though I purchased mine online (I bought other items too) you can find this in lots of stores now including your local health food store. Sometimes Health food stores are a little higher in price so it might behoove you to call around to your local grocery stores or even retailers like Walmart, Kmart, etc. to see if they carry it before you go searching for it. This will help you plan your trip and yo

Let's Eat Organic! In Season and Out -

My family and I have been trying to switch as much as possible to all natural and organic. It is a bit overwhelming when you think of all the food that is out there to choose from. So I thought in order to make things easier for me when I shop I would compile a list of foods that are best to eat Organic while others are better to eat All Natural and then of course there are the foods that you just can't really get around or may be okay to eat. So to get started this is the Organic portion. For a good article click here . I used to shop mainly at Aldi's and supplementing at Meijers with a an occasional Wal-Mart thrown in. But I have to admit that I have a problem. When I go to the big superstores I get myself in trouble and end up spending WAY too much money because I always "wander" over to the other sections that do not pertain to groceries and always find something that I "need". So recently I have decided that I'm going to start shopping at Krogers fo

A Modest Ladies Survey

I saw this at Candy's site, Keeping The Home I would love to see your responses to these questions as well.  If you have a blog then post it and send me the link so I can read them (and others can too).  I'll put in my answers to the below questions, so make sure to comment and leave your URL (or answer right here on the comments) so we can read your answers. Do you wear makeup? Yes.  I wear just a bit on occasion.  I wear brown eyeliner, black mascara and a bit of neutral eyeshadow (browns or purples - not like royal blue purple but subtle).  I like to do this for my hubby as well as a pick-me-up to myself.  I also wear tinted lip glosses.  Once a year I get all dolled up to go to my Hubby's company End of the Year Party and then I wear my hear real fancy with a bit more make-up with a new (or new from thrift-store) skirt and blouse and of course got to have some beautiful stylish high heels. Do you wear a head covering? I cover sometimes as my Hubby is not quite co
