Growing your own Homegrown Herbs can supply you with herbs all year long, even in the winter. The photo above is my first cutting of the year and is only a few of the herbs we planted. How I use my herbs in the winter is by dehydrating them in the summer when they are exploding with leaves. I use the […]
If you have ever considered planting a strawberry patch….do! We planted ours last year. The first year you plant it, it is very important to pick off all of the flowers so the energy can go into building the plant and not the strawberries. This is so hard to do because you want to eat strawberries but don’t give in! […]
As I was updating some of my earlier blogs I came across my blog on Blueberry Smoothies. I have been making this recipe for years. With only four ingredients it is so simple to make. I use my home grown blueberries that have been frozen when I make this recipe. You can buy frozen blueberries in the store and make […]

Local vendors sold different flavors of honey in single serving honey sticks and also in jars. My grandkids […]
I posted this recipe last year when the Asparagus started popping out of the ground in my garden. I have been growing asparagus for over twenty years now. Asparagus and rhubarb are the first signs of life in my garden and I can’t wait to start eating them both. My husband doesn’t like Asparagus so it’s all mine! I can’t […]

It works!!!! For everyone that saw my blog on Regrowing Celery and told me you can do it with Green Onions too, thank you, are right! When we buy Green Onions from the grocery store, I keep them in a glass with a little water to keep them green longer. I take a plastic bag and place it over the […]
