Sourdough Starter

This actually works WELL! We had an issue with gnats recently and they kept getting into our starter so we had to start over. Thankfully, I think we got the gnats gone. Turned out there was a towel in our pantry that was covered in fruit that someone wiped up and did not know. Now it's gone. You Will Need: 100g Water (filtered) 100g Flour 1 tsp Yeast 

Garden Prep

It's that time of year again! We are prepping our garden area. Last year, we had 1 garden box and baskets we used to plant stuff in. This year, I told my husband Dan, that I wanted to GO BIG!! In the fall, we took up the grass, and laid this grass tarp down to keep grass from growing in or around the garden stuff, makes mowing easier for him I hope. We then planted 2 peach trees (back corner as you see), 5 blueberry bushes (shown too), 4 apple trees (other side of the yard), 1 plum and 1 pear tree (other side too). We are getting ready (today) to plant 2 raspberry bushes, and 2 blackberry bushes (this is why he is not spreading out the dirt yet, waiting for it to be delivered- the bushes). Then, we will be building 5 garden beds, 8ft long by 4ft wide and putting a retaining wall in front of the whole garden so no dogs or fertilizer from the lawn company gets into our garden. Today or tomorrow I will be starting our seeds indoors I cannot wait!!! I am hoping by expanding this years garden, we are able to can/freeze more foods for the winter. This winter so far, we have plenty left in the basement. 😁 Enjoy part 1 laying the dirt!
