Yesterday was a gorgeous day in Kansas. I couldn't wait to bust out of the office and get home. First I went on a quick and easy run. About 2.5 miles. Then I headed out to the garden to do some planting. Last weekend was supposed to be BIG PLANTING WEEKEND now that we are… Continue reading Planting Bush Beans

First Real Harvest of 2010
Last night Benzo picked the first real harvest of 2010. The harvest was not from surprise plants that just popped up this spring from seeds that were scattered by dead plants at the end of last season. And the plants weren't leftover from a late planting last fall that somehow survived the winter. No these were… Continue reading First Real Harvest of 2010

Fabulous Fruit Tart
Another week begins! This weekend was so busy for me. As Benzo and I ran from this activity to that activity, I found myself longing for Unplugged Weekend. One fun thing we did yesterday was a BBQ get together with Do-Dad's side of the family. My aunt and uncle hosted and everyone brought something to… Continue reading Fabulous Fruit Tart

Shopping & Salad
Hello and happy Saturday to you! Isn't Saturday the greatest day? I've been having a good Saturday so far. This morning I slept in a little then got up when FIL arrived to help Benzo work on the kitchen floor again. I made a big pot of oatmeal for all of us for breakfast. I added… Continue reading Shopping & Salad

Cold Summer Oats
Over the winter I posted several oatmeal recipes. But since the weather has been warmer I haven't been eating oatmeal at all for breakfast (except for last Sunday). I switched over to smoothies for awhile and then I found something amazing - overnight oats. I first read about overnight oats on the blog Eat, Live,… Continue reading Cold Summer Oats

What is it Wednesday: Flaxseed
So I skipped the last two weeks but What is it Wednesday is BACK this week. I was getting tired of researching questionable chemicals so this week's topic is about flaxseed. Flax seems to be all the rage these days. I preach the benefits of it often. But how much do you really know about flaxseed? … Continue reading What is it Wednesday: Flaxseed

Green Berries Galore
My plans tonight were rescheduled for tomorrow so I had a chance to get out to the garden while it was still sunny and take some pictures (and I was home to watch Glee!). My strawberries are going insane. This is my strawberry patch. It is approximately 18 feet by 12 feet. I started it… Continue reading Green Berries Galore

Foodscaping
Wow it's Tuesday already! I was a lazy bum about blogging last night. Just wasn't feelin' it. I got home early and Benzo and I mowed the entire lawn. We have just under an acre so mowing is usually a two person job. It gets done a lot faster that way. I usually drive the… Continue reading Foodscaping

On Radishes
Last week Mom's Many Projects posted a great question: When do you know the radishes are done? I’ve planted them for the first time, but have no idea when to pull them up! I bet there's a very good scientific answer to that question, like the leaves turn a certain color or start to wilt… Continue reading On Radishes
