Such an Amazing day to win seeds.

-

Minnesotans all over love to talk weather. Today I am not only sounding off about 70 degree weather in Minneapolis; I am also super stoked about winning seed from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds. Overall I am not a "lucky" person when it comes to winning things. Sure I can hold my own during the tricked out squirt gun games at the state fair, but lotteries, raffles, and Lord know auctions are all stacked against me. All that being said I have finally won what I am calling an uber green thumb package of awesome seeds from Bakers Creek Heirloom Seeds. I have been dragging my feet on finalizing my seed order this year since having some health issues crop up. This and other home projects had me thinking about buying only seedlings for the first time ever. Now,all I know is there will be cauliflower this year for sure and I can't wait to taste a Stupice Tomato. 

Happy Planning or planting if you've gotten aroundto it before me. Just don't forget to get out and enjoy this weather. 70 degrees in March can you believe it?

This morning I woke up with Thanksgiving on my mind. Yes we are a few months out but the fall like chill the last couple of days had me craving turkey and ALL of the fixins. My sister sent me a simple, "don't do it!" message that inspired me to rethink a massive trip to the grocery store to search for cranberries and cubed bread. Now several hours later I've settled on Sauteed Chicken with onions and peppers over a bed of Quinoa with Steamed brocolli [fresh from the garden]. Today my family has been save from organizing chopping and cleaning for such a big meal. Next week you may be seeing the spread before the Big Spread. Happy Harvesting!

This is the BIG ~ Mini project we had been putting off due to weather and just pure plain busyness. In our exuberance and excitement over 70 degree weather we transplanted some seedlings too early and didn't heed the cool evening/morning temps nor our strict watering regimen. MY BAD!! **blush ~ blush** I thought it would work out better for me and my two cohorts (hubby and daughter) if we devised a system that could take full advantage of the not so unusual bipolar Minnesota warm then freezing weather without killing all our precious transplants in the process. So since we have ample garden and yard space we took on the task of a greenhouse. I always hear rave revues about this system and truthfully it has been working on a micro level wth the milk jugs so I figured why not? Take a look at the pictures and see for yourself the end result. DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO BUILD YOUR OWN COMING SOON.
