Ok, it's been too long once again since I last posted. But that doesn't mean things have been at a standstill around here! For one, we got the glass replaced in the front door! And I got the bill yesterday which only came out to €63 so we're pretty pleased about that...
What do you mean the glass is green??
After a lovely couple of days in Italy (mostly the region around Venice), we got back here very exhausted and happy to be home. As it turned out, we must have been a bit more tired than we thought because on Monday (March 24th) we started out the door to take the...
Our seedlings are indeed seedlings!
As usual I'm a bit overdue to write about what is happening with our little seedlings - but what can you do? I did take some photos of them on March 18th which was about a month after they'd been planted. As you may notice, the zucchini were sprouting like weeds and...
Spring Cleaning Closets
We've been attempting to do some spring cleaning around here and get rid of some stuff that we haven't looked at in over a year. Amazingly enough, there are a lot of things like that around here. A couple weekends ago we cleaned out our closets because things were...
Some say you get what you pay for….
This post was a bit too painful for me to make three weeks ago when this actually happened...but I guess time has dulled the pain a bit.My wonderful husband bought me 120 multi-colored tulips for Valentine's Day and our house was just filled with them. I actually had...
That time of the year again
The gardening fever is striking us again (thankfully since we have a nice big space to utilize back there) and we've just starting a ton of seeds....of course we are only writing about it on our self-sufficient / garden blog, Self-Reliant Yuppies, so if you want to...
What we got from Burpee
So I've mentioned that we got seeds from Burpee a few times now...and you may be wondering what we ordered...so here goes - it's a LONG list, I know. But the seeds there cost a fraction of the price here, especially for chili seeds so even with shipping them over...
Starting seeds in newspaper pots
Because this is a blog about becoming more self-sufficient and "green" in general, I had a brain storm...well it actually resulted when I was feasting on the Burpee seed catalog and noticed a little gadget they have to assist in the making of newspaper pots. We get 4...
Burpee seeds are on their way…
I FINALLY placed our order today for a huge collection of Burpee seeds. Athough this will be our first experience with them, I've heard fantastic things and found so many things in their catalog that I wanted to try out. It's mostly tomato and chili plants but also...
Come tweet with me!
So I've jumped on the Twitter bandwagon and now I'm looking for some friends! Fellow bloggers and tweeters, where are you at? I'll be cruising around a few houseblogs in the near future since I usually just read my favs via google reader...but anyone reading this who...
