Today I’m sharing with you a simple way to grow your own salad greens in a bag of soil. Anyone can do this. All you need is seeds of advanced plants, a clear Rubbermaid (like) container), and a bag of soil that fits on top of the container. For this method you just spread seeds thickly and when they get to be a couple inches long you can do a cut and continue to let grow. You just cut a few leaves off each plant and they will continue to produce. This is actually the 2nd bag I planted. You…
PICS & GOINGS ON When I looked at all my pics on my phone for this last week, they were almost all from the garden! With it being the end of month last week, I updated you with most everything that happened last week in those posts. So here’s what happened in the garden last week… My Dr. Wyche’s Yellow Tomato is blushing/ripening/changing color. I’m so excited! This was on Wednesday. On Saturday, it was fully ripened and ready to pick! Drew and I ate some on our hamburgers this past weekend and oh boy! were they good. Much sweeter…
I’m honestly not even sure where to start with this garden post, since I haven’t done a great job of documenting it here all along. I know I’ve mentioned it a lot the last few months. To start off I’d like to say that this garden would not have been a thing if it weren’t for Jess at Roots & Refuge Farm and her Youtube channel. I started watching her about a year and half ago, I think it was when another Youtuber/Blogger friend, Constance from Cosmopolitan Cornbread mentioned her. Jess and her hubby who she lovingly calls ‘Sweet Miah’…
Today I’m linking up with Shay and Sheaffer for What’s Up Wednesday. What We’re Eating I made these Spicy Bacon Wrapped Pineapple Bites. What a nice yummy, easy treat to make! One of my go tos over this time of COVID has been the Frontera Fajitas. Super easy and good! What I’m Reminiscing About I’ve been thinking about when life was ‘normal.’ I am so over everything being up in the air and things getting canceled/postponed. What I’m Loving I am relishing the last few weeks with Andrew living under my roof. I’m enjoying any little bit of time we…
What a day it’s been already! Up at the crack of dawn to take Drew’s Graduation pics. It started off at 70° and was 80° by the time we were done. Doesn’t sound that bad, but it was 60% humidity, so I was dripping sweat by the time were done. I’ll post some of those pics later. I started interviewing for my student work force in my department last week, and those are continuing on this week. The last few weeks at the end and the beginning of each semester is really busy for me with interviewing, hiring, training and…
PICS & GOINGS ON These got sent out this week! It is getting real and coming fast. I planted some Marigold seeds kind of late, but love that some of them are starting to bloom. Not sure what kind of bugs are camped out on them. So for those of you who’ve never gardened before or maybe have never heard that you can find bugs in the dark with a black light much easier, well it’s true. I only found this one very large worm; not sure what kind it is, and one tiny slug on another pepper plant. With…
I haven’t done a “The Weekly” post since last year. I thought that maybe since we’re half way done through this year, I’d start doing these posts every week again. It’s a good way to quickly rundown things that are happening and share some pics. Not sure how that will affect my end of the month posts >>>> Memories of the Month & What’s Up Wednesday PICS In my Friday Favorites post last week I shared most of the pics that I would have shared here. Here’s 2 pics I didn’t share. 1:Here’s Katniss in the chair under our kitchen…
Today I’m linking up with Shay and Sheaffer for What’s Up Wednesday a week late, because last week I was on vacation. What We’re Eating This last month we learned how to cook Spare Ribs. The university has a meat lab, and ever since the Pandemic we’ve been ordering from them more often. After cooking ribs on Memorial Day weekend, I found more ribs and Publix for really cheap, so we got a few racks. They are so yummy. Next time we make them I need to take pics, so I can share the recipe. What I’m Reminiscing About Lots…
I blinked and June is over. Here’s my Currently post for July! Hope you’re having a great Summer so far. I’m cooking… several shrimp recipes that I did back in Summer 2017 that I never shared. I need to make the recipes again and write everything down so I can share them with you. I’m photographing… my garden. We were on vacation last week and my sis-in-law took care of our cat and my garden while we were gone. It rained a lot, so when we got back my garden has exploded with tomatoes! Peppers are bigger. I’m sharing… a…
The other day I was thinking back through the last 11 weeks of ‘quarantine’ and all of the good that has come from this. Yes, there has been ups and down and scary times and unknown future for so many, I can’t dwell in the negative. My headspace needs to hover in positivity as much as possible. I believe it’s been. I have found so many blessings from having this time to slow down and just be. To enjoy family and enjoy doing these we don’t often take time to do. I want to remember this time so I’m sharing…
Today I’m linking up with Shay and Sheaffer for What’s Up Wednesday. What We’re Eating Monday for Memorial Day we had ribs that we prepared and cooked ourselves. They turned out so good! Last Friday night, Drew cooked us dinner. We had Kabobs that were to die for with mac & cheese and baked beans. He’s quite the grillmaster! What I’m Reminiscing About I know this is what I said last month, but with summer upon us and the trips we should be about to go on, I’m reminiscing about our past vacays. Road trips to visit family in Baton…
Linking up with Momfessionals & a Little Bit of Everything Blog Happy Friday, everybody! I thought I had a list going of stuff I’d found over the week, but either I dreamed it or I’m not remembering where I ‘wrote that down.’ Anyway here’s my Friday Favorites…. I think most of these are going to be things I’ve found across the interwebs. Typically I have things in real life to share. This week again has flown by and it was pretty blah and actually quite stressful! Natasha did a post that I just loved. She interviewed her kids and got…
Linking up with Momfessionals & a Little Bit of Everything Blog Here are my Friday Favs (5ish random things I’m loving right now) for this week…. Sometimes in my little head, I think surely things I follow or know about are known by everyone that’s interested in them. Then, I think what if I know something people don’t know about, but would find useful? Well, I’m trying to wrap my mind around that concept and I’m going to start sharing more. Sharing is caring! Not only for YOU, but also for the person who I’m sharing about, right? Well, I…
This last week, Rob and I took Thursday and Friday off because it was the end of the time when our work allowed us to take off without actually using vacation. We bounced the idea around of going up to the North Georgia Mountains and staying in a VRBO. However, there was something that just really made me hesitant, so we plan to do that later. Instead the fam treated me and allowed me to decide what I wanted to do…pretty much the entire long weekend! And if you know me, you know making decisions even the smallest ones bring…
