The proposed container garden

I was asked the following:

"Kayla-where did you get your icing tubs?

That's a great idea!

Have you decided what you're going to grow?

I went to one of the local grocery stores and asked the ladies at the
bakery for their empty icing buckets. Wal-mart also has them, as do Kroger,
Dunkin' donuts; basically any store that has a bakery. You can also ask fast
food restaurants for their pickle and condiment buckets. Since you aren't
actually storing food in the bucket, paint buckets from Lowe's, Home Depot and
other hardware stores would work adequately as well. Don't use buckets however
that have had paint IN them.


Since I only had 8 yogurt cups y-day, the Elders and I decided on the following:

Sebastion- 1 cup heirloom maters

Tristen- 1 cup heirloom maters as well

These are THEIR plants and they are responsible for taking care of them. This is done daily now as part of their h'sch'ing day.

The other cups include:

2- heirloom maters

1- jalapeno

1- cuke

1- green bell pepper

1- orange banana maters

Each cup has 3 seeds in it to ensure at least 1 germinated and healthy plant.

The much requested COUPON BINDER! A how-to pictorial

First you start with a LARGE 3-ring binder . I was able to get about a dozen of these for 50-75¢ each at a thrift shoppe, brand new. Mine are from a business complete with logo, but that's ok. 50-75¢ sure beats 8 bucks at Wal-mart. Plus mine DOES have a front pocket, in case I want to make it a bit purtier. Some people prefer a zippered binder. These are GREAT if you can afford the dough for a LARGE one. This one is especially great as it has a handle for carrying. You'll also need some pocket pages . I prefer the 4-per-page pages. The pockets are a little bigger, which is GREAT for those LONG coupons (which stick out, so I fold them in half) and those WIDE coupons, and especially for holding more coupons than their miniature counterparts! Now others have had luck with other pages. They come in 1-pocket (also known as sheet protectors, which we'll be using as well- we'll get to that later), 2 pocket, 4-pocket, 5-pocket, 6-pocket, 8-pocket; 9-pocke t. Anything with more...

I've moved!!!

In order to simplify, I'll be getting rid of most of my blogs & just downsizing my internet network. We've made a move that you can read about at my new blog, but suffice to say- we're beginning a new life, in a new state, new job, etc. So if you want to hear more about it, Meet me in Wyoming . Don't forget to update your bookmarks!!!
