Gardening is Cheaper than therapy and you get tomatoes


Saw this quote on Pinterest and had to make it into a sign...lol

Makes me giggle~

I Love Gardening and have always been around a gardener( my grandmother) and a farmer (my grandfather)...and did some home landscaping to earn extra cash in high school besides babysitting! :)

When I married my Husband I had to learn how to grow plants on Oklahoma Red Clay and Land that had not been touched in years...

Gardening and Landscaping for 6+years now and all the labor is finally paying off! ;)


Things are Blooming Non-Stop now and its super exciting!

Huckleberry Plant

and some Sweet Basil I grew from seed in the Greenhouse. :)

My Daughter and I planted a couple a few weeks ago and those onions are coming out great!

I am soo Thankful for the Energy to move around in the Garden and Greenhouse...

I call it Garden Fitness! ;)

Here is a bit of Garden Journal info....

2-New Tomato Plants grown from seed are moved from shell to a actual pot.

1- New Green Pepper plant



Happy Gardening! :)

To Plant a Garden is to Believe in Tomorrow - Audrey Hepburn


I LOVE THIS QUOTE!!!

Harvest this weekend was Successful!

(Strawberry Patch Pic)

 About 20 Strawberries for the 1st Big Harvest!
Strawberries are soo plentiful this MAy! :)

Sooo Exciting!!
 Then 4 Radishes of Different Sizes!

This was super exciting for me since my hubby LOVES Radishes and they were for especially for Him...
However afterI washed them -

 I ofcourse forgot to put them in the fridge to stay cool....
soo they died...

OOOoo Well , that just how things happen sometimes...
that is why I am so glad I atleast took a Pic. before hand.

Hope Yall Have a Good Monday! :)

Chicken Love

The "Baby Chicks" are no longer able to fit in their little home...Growing up is Hard to do - These Chickens were moved out to make room for 5 NEW TURKEY BABYS (PICS COMING SOON!!!)


Here are some Pics of them in the first hour in the great outdoors!

They are not used to weather changes and fresh dirt under their claws....but they are Happy!
 I Love Chickens!! Roosters not soo much- lately I have been battling with a mean Rooster name Kayne...he keeps pecking the hens and not allowing them to eat and etc...


This Abuse can also Stress the Hens out and they will not produce like normal...Kayne prob. will not last long in my coops!




I Love My Birds!!! Looking forward to showing yall my Turkeys!! ;)

Philippa Gregory Cousins War Series Pt. 2

Just Finished Reading/Listening to The White Princess by Philippa Gregory


http://instagram.com/p/ngNAZFGoCW/


And Loved it soo Much! Really forces me to do some research on the Boys in the Tower of London....sooo sad that no one -not even Elizabeth of York knew what really happen to those boys...


I do believe that Elizabeth of Woodville did not hand over both sons to Richard III....


Plus many historians believe that one prince did actually survived ...no one knows for sure even now.....how awful and sad ... so was that young man claiming to be Prince Richard and confessed to being Perkin Warbeck Really> was he really the York Prince or a Pretender? Either way both "the boy" and the Earl of Warwick were murdered because King Henry VII was sooooo scared of these two threats and had to have them removed for what he thought at the time would be peace of mind...


But he must have know that what he did was MURDER 2 INOCCENT YOUNG Boys for his own Success in the Future!


I will write more when I do a bit more research
plus I am about to start the

Starting with the Following:
