New Garden Boxes

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

Homemade Ketchup

I have been so into making anything and everything I can. Today I decided to tackle homemade ketchup! I have wanted to do it for a while now and we were finally out of store bought. What a better time?!?! If you follow my blog you already know I make my own tomato powder and onion powder from tomatoes and onions I grow. I also make my own garlic powder from locally grown garlic. So of course that’s what I used to make my ketchup!! Yumm right?!?! 



Here’s the recipe I used- (though I wana change a few things next time) 

12 oz. tomato paste (which I made from my tomato powder 12Tb powder & 6Tb water) 



1/2 c. Honey

1 c. Vinegar 

1/2 c. Water (a lil more or less depending how thick you want it) 

2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. onion powder

1/4 tsp. garlic powder 

Combine in a saucepan and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes. (I used my immersable wand blender thing to smooth it out, homemade onion n garlic powder can be kinda chunky)  Store in the fridge and enjoy! That’s its! It is that easy!! 

Made about 2 1/2 – 3 cups



Look gorgeous doesn’t it?? 

Have you ever had or made your own ketchup?? I’d love to hear about it!!! 

 

Growing a Pineapple from a Pineapple

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 ✌️❤️😃🍍
