New Year's Eve Day

Weeding my garden today. Thought i was pulling weeds and then i realized they are my turnips i planted. Picked my mustard greens also for my smoothies in the morning. Setting up the crock pot now .. making a white bean soup for New Year's Day .. will add my turnips i picked today.

The New Year is arriving. Let's make it a Great Year of 2012 and eat more greens; esp. KALE !!

My Neglected Garden

New Year's Eve day - bright and sunny here in Florida. My kale is finally starting to grow. No tomatoes or flowers on my tomatoe plants. Don't know where i went wrong there. Been working so much; i have neglected my garden though.

Hand-crafted Christmas Village 2011

Christmas Village on my hutch. I only made the pet store and firehouse. Julie created the TOY STORE with her grandson. The little sweet shop is a Kleenex box - i pulled out a kleenex to make it look like smoke coming out of the chimney. The paint brush holder, i actually painted years ago, when Julie and I took a one-stroke class. Each year, i'll have to add a building or two.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!!

Growing Garden

Can't believe how fast everthing is growing..been using the turnip, mustard greens and red leaf lettuce in by smoothies i drink every morning.

In October 2011

In october, I planted mustard greens, turnip greens, tomatoes (mr. stripey), red leaf lettuces and somehow i picked up brussels sprouts (thought i was picking up collard greens). Was not able to find KALE - my favorite.
