This is going to be a short post today. I just wanted to share with you this brilliant way of storing all those garden seed packets using a photo storage box. I found this one on Amazon and I now have my box of unruly seeds under control. I had no idea that I had so many. I went through and checked the date on the seeds and will try germinating the old stuff with a heavy seed planting and also leave room to plant the new seeds that I know are good. I don’t want any to go to ... continue reading...
Porch Makeover With New Area Rugs and Pillows
I’m sure you are all sick of reading and seeing gardening posts by now so I thought I’d better throw in a little home decor. It’s been quite a few years since I’ve changed out the decor pieces on my porch. I move things around and use them in different areas but the black and white theme has been around for a while. Well this year I was in the mood to use blue and green like I am on the inside of the cabin. The black and white area rugs were sun faded and everything was looking a little ... continue reading...
Adding More Gardening Space With Raised Beds
I’m adding more growing space to the garden with raised beds. My current garden has eight 4X8 raised beds; it’s always been just enough room for me to grow our veggies and sprinkle in a few flowers for color and to make arrangement with.

Talk Till Dawn – 39
This is a monthly series where I catch up on what my everyday life is like outside the blog.

Tomato & Pepper Seed Starting | Garden Seed Journal Printable
It’s the time of year when I’m itching to garden and all I can do is start my seeds indoors. The two that I concentrate on are tomatoes and peppers, they both need more growing time than Michigan has so I get them started inside under lights about 10 weeks before our last frost. This year I went hog wild and planted several varieties that I haven’t tried before but I also planted a few tried and true varieties that are our favorite. So far they are doing great. The germination rate ... continue reading...
