Growing Everything! Plant Every Seed!



 Does anyone else do this? I will plant any seed I get from any veggie or fruit! These cute little plants are lemons! We had some lemons a couple of months ago and as I was using them I would save the seeds back. Put them into some potting soil and here we are now! I also throw any veggie that has seeds in it into my garden. I now have some extra green peppers and tomatoes growing that grew from me doing this. I can't wait to see what will grow and what won't. We have a couple of oranges here that I will save the seeds from and am really curious if they will grow. 

It has even been a great learning experience for homeschooling. Actually see how things grow.

Support Local Farmers

 

 

What we had left on Monday!

 

 

We went to a local farmers market on Saturday. I am going to support my local community as much as I can. Trying to stay out of big box stores. I did buy a bicycle yesterday from Walmart, but anything else that I can get local I will. Another great way is to try and get items you need from local facebook groups.

DIY & Frugal Hanging Herb Garden PART 2


 Finally had a break in the rain and got this put up. 

Used a Over The Door Hanging Shoe Organizer and hung it over the fence. I actually had to cut the bottom 4 off because it was too long! 

Filled each place up with potting soil after putting tiny drain holes into each place. I put seeds into each place, labeled them. I had gotten this 15 Culinary Herb Seed Vault. I only used 12 of them right now. It was starting to rain again while I was putting this together. It took me about 10 minutes to do it all. Hopefully I will have an update that will be good news. That they are actually growing.

DIY & Frugal Hanging Herb Garden

 

I bought one of these Over The Door Hanging Shoe Organizer and a big bag of potting soil. I had gotten a pack of herb seeds a while ago and am going to use the hanging shoe organizer to grow them in. Hang it over my fencing and hopefully it will work. I need to punch some tiny holes in the bottom of each place to make sure the water can drain.

Just waiting for all of this storming to stop so that I can get outside and do this. As soon as I have it all set up I will make another post with pictures etc.

Add the beef stock and a 1/4 cup of water.

Cook up till thicken.

Add the can of corn. 

top with the mashed potatoes and put in and oven that was preheated to 375. Cook until the top is slightly browned. 

You can top with cheese also.

Light


 Just put a couple of solar powered lights in a mason jar. I have river rocks in the jar and set them in the window all day to charge up. Then at night or if it gets dark we have some light. These Solar Lights are bigger than some and very bright. Great way to make sure you have light just in case.
