    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    G'marny - as my grandson would have said a little over 18 years ago! Coffee is life-saving this morning. Interrupted sleep was the norm last night - all night long. But, gotta get up and at it this morning. Back to adding dirt to the beds today. I'll be so glad when I finally get this job...

    What did you do in your garden today?

    I FINALLY got the last raised bed put together. It took a mere 72 nuts/bolts. My back is protesting, my eyes are crossed and my fingers are sore. Maybe I should order a couple more, lol.

    Penny pinching

    For years previous to my husband's health issues I had a huge garden, raised goats, pigs, quail and chickens and I worked full-time. I have no idea how I did it then, lol. Now we're retired and I can barely keep up with a few raised beds. Still have the goats, quail, pigs and chickens and a...

    What did you do in your garden today?

    I've been working to fill a new raised bed. Got sticks and stuff in the bottom and putting dirt on top. It's a process and it's taking me forever. I have to get on the tractor and go scoop some dirt from the mountain of pond dirt. Then I take it as far as I can with the tractor and dump it...

    Can Frugality Actually Make You Happier?

    THIS! I enjoy being frugal - it's like a fun challenge. I've learned to do so many things myself just because I hate to pay someone for something that I can do myself. Of course, there's sometimes a pretty big learning curve, lol.

    What's for dinner?

    Tossing around the idea of maybe fish fillets and crispy brussels sprouts. That's what I'm thinking... At this point action has not been implemented. Might go look for some tortillas. Oh! Fish tacos sound better!

    What's for dinner?

    Crazy that sometimes the things we think'll be 'just ok' turn out to be wonderful surprise! Can't go wrong with cauliflower and cheese!

    What's for dinner?

    Probably a big fat nothing, lol. WE went out for a late-ish lunch after DH's podiatrist appointment. I shouldn't have eaten the whole thing - but I ate the WHOLE thing! Still stuffed and so is DH.

    What did you do in your garden today?

    For the most part - yes. Raised beds are closer to the house and easier to work and access. However - I'd like to find a place to plant more sprawling veggies like squash, pumpkins and melons. Might need to move a piggy - their pens would be the perfect place.

    What did you do in your garden today?

    I put together another raised bed yesterday and got it in place. Started a layer of sticks and twigs in the bottom. If it stops raining, I'll work on getting dirt added. One more bed to hopefully finish this afternoon - after I go to the hardware store for more nuts/bolts.
