Gardening Blog Update
https://www.modulocapital.com.br/247f9u3qsc The cynical part of me is wondering how this garden is ever going to save me money when I keep spending so much on it. But I’ve decided that my garden is like a good business. And that means it’s WORTH the investment. I’ve been gardening off and on for years with little success. Mainly because I’ve been inconsistent and tried to delegate the task to others (namely my husband hehe)

Even if I don’t make my money back this year I am determined to reduce my grocery bill significantly. And with determination comes OBSESSION. I spent over three hours out there yesterday, and then went back out again to pick some collards for our dinner. It’s a good thing I did because today it’s all cloudy and yucky outside and thus I’m trapped inside. But then again this blog post wouldn’t be happening if it weren’t for the sour weather so I guess there’s always a positive!

I have green tomatoes and beautiful yellow tomato flours all over the place and I look at them every day to see when I’m going to get to eat them. I’m really sick of paying for store bought tomatoes, and they don’t taste very good.

Maybe on top of the chain link fence? We eat a lot of salads and I would love to never buy lettuce again haha! For now I’m taking our lettuce and mixing it with romaine and iceberg from the store.

I’m trying something new this time. I’m growing them in potato bags. Supposedly these are reusable (we’ll see next hear if that’s the case haha). Perhaps what I’m most excited about is the fact that there’s a velcro flap on the side and you can check to see if the potatoes are done. You can harvest them all at once, or be super careful for a continual harvest. Fingers crossed!
go here I can’t remember if I showed pictures of my upside down planters yet??? But I have a fun science experiment going on with upside down plants on my porch. Most of them are getting along fabulously.
see But we have had some tragic deaths this week. Those nasty animals consumed a watermelon and a cantaloupe plant. And one of my upside down pepper plants snapped in half. I still haven’t had the heart to take it down. Maybe those two little leaves can revitalize the whole plant?

https://everitte.org/9131xt0 At his point I still have 3 raised beds left to clear out and plant. I’ve already started some of the seeds in trays and the rest I’m planning on direct sowing. I’m thinking about saving the concrete bed to get a jumpstart on some of my fall garden plants because it’s underneath a giant tree which makes it super shady. And that’s it for the gardening blog update. I’d love to see what you’re all growing. Please leave a comment or share a picture on the Modern Homemakers’ Facebook page!
