This morning 5 the baby chick and I headed out to the garden. We cleared an 8’x4′ raised garden bed that was filled with sagging tomato plants and replaced them with kale starts. Even though no one in the house is a major fan of kale, I need to reach my goal of growing 2,000 Read More >>

Fresh, homemade pumpkin pie, is just one of the reasons I LOVE growing pumpkins every year. When the kids were little I used to grow them for carving, never thinking about actually using the pumpkins for the what Pilgrims intended them for, PUMPKIN PIE {of course}. Making your own pumpkin puree is totally cool. So Read More >>

What’s up with all the free lettuce lately? To bad you can’t freeze the stuff, or I’d have a years supply of iceberg by now. Luckily, between our chickens, and Girly Girls Chickens, not a bit of it goes to waste. If there is one thing the chickens love {besides corn}, it’s iceberg lettuce, it must be Read More >>

Over the weekend I had the opportunity to visit reader Sara’s garden {and do a little bartering as well}. I wonder if Sara has an extra room at her house… Because I totally want to move in and live on her mini farm.

Hi, My name is Mavis and I like to feed my tomato plants with kale smoothies once a week. That’s how I get the plants to grow super strong. Life is wonderful. The birds are always chirping, our backyard chickens are always quite, and they lay hundreds of yummy nutritious eggs for us everyday, and I’m high Read More >>

For the most part, I’m really happy with what I picked up this morning at Albertsons. Since I’ve started gardening this year and making the time to cook more homemade meals for my family, I haven’t brought to much “crap food” into the house these past few months.
