During the early part of April, we made some big changes to the garden. As some of you who read my blogs already know, I garden in garden boxes. We moved the boxes from up by the house to out by the greenhouse, yay!! It was a great decision to move them and to top it off we built some more boxes. It makes me so happy to have so much more space to grow stuff!!
Wanna know more about gardening in boxes? Just ask me, read my blog posts, keep checking for more posts to learn more as well

Sunflowers are by far one of my favorite flowers! Last year I lined part of my backyard with some 4ft tall ones, I wasn’t really happy with how it turned out. This year I wanted to do something fun and unique with them. A Sunflower Round House was the final decision!!!! My dad always fondly told stories of my great grandma Edith growing a patch of them and just leaving a spot in the center open for the kids to play in. I loved that idea but wanted to change it a bit. Here’s some pics of the process.
First I had to decide where to put it…. That was a tough one.
Then how big…. Still thinking I should have went bigger. I went with 10ft.
Then we weedeated the circle and shoveled it out
Three hours later it looks great!
Now it just needs to grow!!! I think we are really going to enjoy this!!!
Ever had a sunflower house? Maybe your neighbor had one growing up?… Please share your stories!
I’m that girl that’ll try most anything once! You say it can be done, I want to try it! About three days ago mom gave me the top off her pineapple, so I’m going to try to grow a pineapple from a pineapple!!! I got on Pinterest, we all know I LOVE Pinterest, and did some research. They say to put the top upside down for a week and let it dry out. So here it is just hangin out upside down waiting and drying.
In a few days I’ll put it in water and try to get it to grow roots!! Have you ever grown a pineapple? I would love to hear about your experience!! Thanks everyone and happy growing ✌️❤️😃🍍
I have been wanting a greenhouse for a long time, and it’s finally happening!!! Yippie!! I love Pinterest, and have been surfing through all the info I can find on building, designing and maintaining one. My dream greenhouse would be made of old windows and full of character but, for now something like this will have to do.
And here is the beginning of this new project!
Have you built a greenhouse, do u have one or know someone that does? I would love to see your pictures and hear your advice and suggestions! Thanks and happy greenhousing!!!!
So today I decided to plant garlic. I have tried to grow it in the past but with no success. Lately things have been growing better and better for me so I thought I’d give it a shot. There is hardly a meal that goes by in this house that I don’t put garlic in, and to know I grew it myself, even better! The best part of all is I had the best helper ever!!!
It warms my heart so, to watch her so interested in growing things! It’s a skill for life. She helped spread the dirt around ever so gently, then helped pull apart the garlic cloves and made sure they were just right and pushed them down in the dirt!!!! I think she’s got my green thumb. Eeeee yay!
Also I found this handy shelf thing for my countertop.
Now I’ve got more space for more greenhouses! Yippie!!!!
Happy growing!!! ✌️❤️😃
