At this point I really don’t know if these lil green babies can be called seedlings. Our biggest plants who had to moved out of the greenhouse are not 40″ tall!?! WOW, it so exciting. We also had to move some others out recently as they have moved from toddler to tween as we like… Continue reading Seedlings?

So one of my favorite meals are these tacos. A dear friend of mine shared the original recipe, 10 years ago, that has been changed and adjusted over the past few years to please my family’s taste buds. This recipe freezes great! I tend to double it every time I make it and then, freeze in… Continue reading Tacos Anyone?

So we had snow last weekend. We knew it was coming so hubby covered the corner of our garden where the asparagus is planted. We were just starting to see the tips pushing through the mulch. I opened the cover yesterday since it was staying warm enough in the evening that they wouldn’t die. I… Continue reading My Garden is coming to life!

Is it to early to get ready for canning?

OK so I am a planner. I like to have all my ducks in a row before anything. If I have to stop in the middle of a project, it tends to not be finished for a while. Which when it comes to canning just plain doesn’t work. So about this time, after I have… Continue reading Is it to early to get ready for canning?

So I was brought if a family were we help where and when we can. When a family is going through something (bad or good) you take a meal or something to make life a little better.

So hubby and I had a wonderful Saturday transplanting almost all of our green Babies. I went to the store and bought some new pots for most of the tomato plants.

My amazing farmer friends allowed my little ones and I, plus an amazing lady who helps this mama around the house, to come out to the farm and see baby pigs. Oh My Goodness!!!
