URBAN FARMING!

Well, I really havent got enough hands for everything I want to do and lord knows, with two kids you need 4 hands and that's 2 less than I already have.


I want to blog, and work, and game, and farm, and garden, and go garage saling! Where do I fit it all in?


This spring I am going to go ape shit in my yard and do my best to grow us a nice little harvest of food. Last year I made an effort but it was a poorly thought out effort and I grew a copious amount of useless food that didnt even thrive. This year I have to make PLANS. I have to figure out WHAT i want to grow and have a better system for WHERE I want to grow it. I also plan on cutting out some more grass and putting in a few more beds. Prefereably along the deck.


In the mean time, I am furiously awaiting the spring. I'm getting itchy green thumbs, my hands have been DIRT and SOILLESS for MONTHS and I'm dying to see the colour green again!

So I will try to post more, and I will try try try to take more pics. I would really like that. If anyone can spare a few hands or arms this spring and summer, I sure could use the help in the yard, come on over, I've got a fridge full of beer!

For My Gramma!

My Clematis bloomed this year! When I saw these flowers yesterday I swooned! My Gramma Pauline had the most beautiful clematis plant growing at her house when I was just a wee, little girl and I remember how amazing and full of colour it was. I am so proud that my clematis plant is finally blooming! These flowers are for you gramma! For the woman you helped me become, I thank you!

Mmm Dirt

I'm pretty sure Nana is gonna Love this post! And I'm pretty sure she will call me and tell me not to let her poor baby boy eat dirt, but if I recall correctly, ERIC was a big dirt eater as a kid.

So here is My perdy yard starting to look all colorful and bloomy!
Picture of Tweak in all her glory! Laxing (as SHE calls it) on the back deck, watching the goings on.

There's My boy, feet first in the muck!

And here I thought he was just innocently playing in the garden!

Obviously, I'm new to this motherhood thing!

^Best Picture Ever^



I gave him a bottle of water to wash down the dirt. He seemed to have a some in his mouth.

And what better way to clean a baby then a BABY POOL!
