I’m back in the garden today digging up the onions. I’ve temporarily converted the chicken coop to the onion drying coop; and then I’ll bag them and store them in the basement for the winter. All my garden beds are raised and I don’t keep a designated spot for onions so I squeeze a few sets into each bed around the boarder. I never grow enough to last through the winter months but I do harvest enough to say I did it and have garden fresh for a few months. I top them and use the greens ... continue reading...
Talk Till Dawn – 31
I’m excited to share with you a new series I’m starting called, “Talk Till Dawn”, I want this to be about my everyday life, the things I’m reading, eating, my everyday ups and down, along with photos that I’ve taken over the week. My life and home is far from perfect even though I always share with you pretty home decor picture. Now from time to time I’ll give you a look at how things can get out of control like everyone else’s life. July is one it’s time for a wrap up of what the ... continue reading...
DIY Garden Shed Sign
It seems like summer is on it’s way out; the Maple trees leaves are already starting to change color, the nights are cooling down to the point I’m chilly at times, the baby birds have all learned to fly and left the nest, and I still am trying to get my DIY projects knocked out. This garden sign to hang on the side of the shed was one of my projects. I’m still in a state that’s pretty much locked down so I’m making due with the things I have and trying to get things done. I can get ... continue reading...
Freezing Green Beans
It’s garden harvest and preserving time around here. This week I’ve been working on getting the green beans into the freezer. There’s several ways to put up produce but my preferred way for vegetables is to freeze them. To me they taste fresher than canning them (I’ve never tried dehydrating) but either method works and is food storage for the winter months. I have my garden positioned where in the early morning, when the sun starts to come up, or in late evening it’s in the shade and ... continue reading...
Gone Fishin’
I have a confession to make! I’ve got a fishin’ problem, not to be confused with the song “I’ve got a drinkin’ problem”, ha-ha but equally as addictive. If you remember in my last Talk Till Dawn post I told you hubby wanted a fishing boat for his birthday, well that’s exactly what he got but the man can’t fish alone I’m always tagging along. I loved to fish when I was a kid and I now have the bug again. We go out early every morning and every evening that we can. I’ve had to rearrange my ... continue reading...
MILKWEED AND MONARCH BUTTERFLIES
Did you know Monarch butterflies and Milkweed are the perfect pair? Here on our land we have the perfect habitat for them. All summer long I can collect wildflowers and have a constant supply just by clipping flowers from our property. Milkweed is left alone though and reserved just for the Monarch’s. Luckily we live in an area where no one sprays their lawns with chemicals so the Milkweed thrives. Just this week I’ve seen several butterflies fluttering around the blooming plants. Did ... continue reading...
