Quick garden update

5/28:

OK, went out today to water, had to weed a couple as well
Lost another strawberry plant :(
but I also have a small strawberry that is now pinkish- YAY

I have about 5 more baby maters on 2 plants. Mr. Stripey doesn't look like he's going to do anything. I have about 7-8 basil plants up. About 1" tall now. My peppers are really coming along & my largest mater plant has a BUNCH of new flowers.

6/3:

I have been so busy, still. Lemme tell ya, I will never buy mushroom compost again. All of the plants that I used that in have sprouted shrooms

Otherwise, I have some itty bitty strawberries. The first is too seedy to eat, so we'll have to be patient, LOL. I rec'd my grape on Saturday, went to big lots on Sun & bought a huge pot for it. It's now in it. I planted more seeds in my mini-greenhouse & half of them have sprouted (mater plants of various types). Those were transplanted today. Also planted some lettuce & spinach seeds. Have small pot of lettuce on my kitchen counter that seem to be fairing well. My mr stripey is FINALLY growing. I thought it was a goner :'(

I have about 8 maters on my Mtn Pride, 3-4 on my container plant, one of my cukes already has 2 "tendrils" clinging tightly to it's trellis.

Unfortunately, I've been battling squirrels BAD!!! I may have lost a cuke plant because of them, but I've prayed & am hopeful that it will survive.

I'm so excited to see all this growth. Everyone in the family is so excited!!!

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!!!
