Can You Stand All The Excitement?

It’s Saturday, and we had Pecan pancakes with strawberries and maple syrup for breakfast. Bob moved all the plants from the basement grow lights out to the green house. I watered all the plants and sprayed them with dead fish fertilizer. The neighbor came with his big wagon to pick up a  load of straw […]

Spaghetti Sauce

Spaghetti sauce just isn’t sauce without fresh basil and oregano. It is so fun to go out to the green house and trim the plants for my sauce. It helps to have fresh mushrooms and lamb burger too. Then there is the Parmesan cheese grated on top.  Guess what’s for dinner. Yum!!

Tomatoes

Germination of my heirloom tomatoes seeds is fantastic! (almost 100%) Today, I will transplant the young tomato plants into larger pots.  By the time I am ready to plant them in the main garden, they will have developed large root balls. This is necessary to pull up the nutrients needed to  produce big, beautiful, tomatoes.  […]

My basket also contains fresh oregano, chives, parsley and basil leaves from the green house.  Tonight, we will have an Onion Quiche. With the eggs, herbs, and onions, I will mix in cheddar cheese and a little Swiss […]
