It is not easy to up and leave in the middle of your season harvest after putting in all the hard work and anxiously awaiting the payoff. We are fixing to abandon the garden now and turn our focus to the upcoming birth of Baby Sister. It isn’t as bad as it could be considering...

Google has led me astray. I’ve got my hands on the soup beans I’ve been coveting, the Etna Bush Bean but there seems to be no consistent information about the proper harvesting of these beauties. Google has failed me this time…...

It’s fall and we actually live somewhere that has a beautiful changing of the seasons so I wanted to try collecting and decorating with things that are found around the town this time of year. On of the things we found by accident, while driving through a nice forest-like section of residential area were Osage...

Last week it rained quite a bit. Normally this wouldn’t be an issue except we just had a huge amount of mulch, peat moss and vermiculite dumped on our driveway so we could use it to prep the square foot gardening beds N built. So the dirt and such has been a muddy mess in...

Spring still isn’t quite here yet but some bulbs are rearing their heads though. I am happy that the three peony divisions we brought from our old, moldy rental house are resurfacing. I wasn’t sure if they had rotted away in the overly wet area we mistakenly planted them last spring when we just moved...

I’ve been running around the house like a madwoman cursing and going on just about every time I enter the kitchen. Everly thinks my rants are funny, I am not amused though. The cause: tiny black ants that are seeking warmth and moisture under things like the espresso machine and the water distiller. It’s a...

We snagged a bunch of free plants today that I was pawing through tonight. Now, the person who gave them to told us that we were getting iris and lilies. Upon inspection I am almost certain this is wrong. I am going to let you weigh in here because I am no know-it-all and this...

Here is this weeks Weekly Winners post, as with last week all photos were captured using my new Kodak Cd-1013 Digital Camera. Here is Alexandria-Maybelle, the bunny. We have had her since way before the move to Evansville. We ended up buying her at the feed and tack store one spring while my mom was...

Just finished dividing my lily and iris in the garden in preparation for the move this weekend. They are all dug up, washed and are drying so I can box them up and move them. I just need to box up my pots now! We spent the day taking furniture apart to conserve space and...

I know, strange headline huh? It’s for real though, I have tomatoes growing inside my home. They are in a window box and are a result of some cuttings we took. The tomato plants began flowering and we would “finger the flowers” or gently shake them to pollinate them since bees and humming birds are...
