I have been sooo busy! Pt 2- The Garden

For the previous work we've done on our Square foot garden, you can go here and there are 2 posts- 1 on us building the boxes, the other of the boxes finished and ready for fill. Scroll down past the first post to see the pics.

I've also got most of the laths across the tops, but I did that as it was getting dark, so pics of those to come later. I am short 2 laths, so hubba is picking those up for me today, as well as some chicken wire. Today I'm dropping the corn seeds into one box, and I'm going to start building an upside down mater planter out of an icing bucket (yay).

Here's the mixing process- vermiculite, peat (which isn't on this pile shown just yet!), a couple different composts


And here they are filled:

I love the pics! I saw them on MrsS and thought I'd pop on over and check out your blog...great fun!

Gardening is so exciting...I can't wait for some big juicy summer maters!! Yum yum!

I love seeing the pics of your kids helping. My dd (who is 3 1/2) has been helping to plant out garden. It has been interesting LOL! But she has a great time digging in the dirt and throwing in seeds. Probably the stuff she threw down and stepped on, wacked with the hoe, and dumped 5 gallons of water on will do better than anything else in the garden!! LOL!!!

Have a great day!

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...
