How does Your Garden Grow Part III

-
Whew! Today has been a BUSY day! Here is my breakdown for my day:


* Woke up yesterday morning at 6 am and from 6-6:45 I cleaned my kitchen, started a load of laundry, and then headed out to Walmart for groceries while Hubby and littles were still asleep.

* Arrived home around 10:30 am to unload everything and gave out surprises to my littles, some new shoes for Chance and night lights for both of the girls in their bedroom and Chance's bedroom

* Then started another load of laundry and took the 3 loads of laundry off the clothes line (which I left on overnight, *grin*)

* Then I sat down for a snack while hubby was outside mowing the grass again

* While eating snack Hubby came in and said he could use my help replanting the garden.  So I finish up the snack and head on out.
  • Then went out to help hubby in garden (pics below). About half of our seeds did not germinate so we had to replant some beans, corn & snap peas, zucchini, squash, and cucumber.
  • After doing this we went ahead and planted a row of carrots and marigolds. Then 2 mounds of Organic watermelon and 1 mound of pumpkin. Hubby and kids came inside and I found a place to plant some Nasturtiums (about 30 seeds) and I can't wait to eat some!
My garden is starting to look so pretty and I can't wait until more color explodes in my garden - RED and YELLOW ripe tomatoes, GREEN and RED bell peppers, YELLOW squash, ORANGE carrots, YELLOW marigolds, RED-YELLOW-ORANGE Nasturtium flowers, GREEN cucumbers, GREEN zucchni, GREEN watermelon, and ORANGE pumpkins! I can't wait to see all the colors!

* Well after the garden I came in to make Ravioli with meat sauce and garlic french bread

* Dessert is Strawberry Shortcake (pic below)

* Now I have to work on finances and get more stuff done around the house.

Now on to those pics:

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
