It's only been 2 weeks since we planted our vegetable garden, (to read more about that, click here.) and already everything has just shot up. The garden now looks like this from this The potatoes are growing like weeds and I've been planting store-bought butter lettuces in between the potatoes which are growing beautifully. We've … Continue reading June in Our Garden

Buuut, our cats and a house-move later took … Continue reading 24-Hour Project – Old Chair Upcycle (again)
I used to make my own dog food and my own dog treats and then things got hectic and I stopped doing it. Instead, I bought what I thought was the healthiest dry food for my dogs. It cost me an arm and a leg and couple of toes, but I soon came to the … Continue reading My (Almost) Vegetarian Life – Reducing my Carbon Footprint
Well, we didn't think we'd be able to have a vegetable garden this year because our Landlord, who's building a cottage behind our house, is quite a bit behind schedule and the space where we were going to grow things is still occupied by a lean-to.
