I spent yesterday morning re-potting 120 117 of my heirloom tomato plants. I had 3 casualties. Not bad. Re-potting tomato seedlings really gets me excited about gardening. There is no greater taste on earth than biting into a real, sun ripened, heirloom tomato grown right in your very own backyard. Caution: Growing your own tomatoes Read More >>

Last night I made lasagna for dinner. It was so incredibly easy to make and everyone loved it. Especially The Girl Who Thinks She’s A Bird. I think what I love most about lasagna, is unless you are feeding a crew of lumberjacks, you can stretch this dish into 2, maybe even three meals. Dinner, Read More >>

Yesterday I was able to spend almost the entire day in the backyard. It was pure bliss. When I woke up this morning my hands were all rough and dry from playing in the dirt. Ahhh yes, we are getting close. Pretty soon I’ll be heading out to the garden at the crack of dawn Read More >>

I spent most of yesterday cleaning out the pantry. The Boy Scouts are gearing up to come around and “Scout for Food” so I thought this would be the perfect time to go through my stockpile.

This rhubarb crown is the ugliest thing I have ever planted. A face only a mother gardener could love. As with several plants in my garden this spring, I had no idea I was going to plant rhubarb until I spotted it at a local nursery. A few years ago I had picked up 2 Read More >>

Last night while I was scrubbing potatoes {regular baked potatoes were on the menu}, I tossed a few extra in the oven. It’s been a while since we’ve had twice baked potatoes, so I decided to whip up a few for the Handsome Husband’s lunches this week. Not only are twice baked potatoes easy to Read More >>
