  • I want to make a quilt… Has anyone made one? Any tips? ->

28°F + Citrus Turkey Brine…

Brrr...

28°F is really cold for Vallejo. I think I’m going to bust out my thermals before going out to the garden” 

Citrus Turkey Brine

“I feel like a Mad Scientist as I make this Citrus Turkey Brine (vs Good Eats Brine) concoction” 

Freeze Watch…

Freeze Watch

“Oh no… They issued a Freeze Watch for most of the Bay Area tonight” <

  • I just took a spider that was stuck in my room outside to go free. ->
  • Just got my @PinetreeSeeds catalog in the mail. So far, I'm eyeing the Yukina Savoy Chinese Cabbage, Tronchuda Cabbage and Sea Foam Chard. ->

Gourd Lady + Erasing Plant Labels…

I just happened to catch the Gourd Lady on the Tonight Show.

I’m erasing some used plant labels, so I can reuse them.

Erasing Plant Labels

Second Batch of Coleus Cutting + Jem + Dark Outside…

Cute Twitter Icon by Mirjami Manninen“Taking my 2nd batch of Coleus cuttings to overwinter. Since I took a cutting of Coleus ‘Gem’, I can’t get the theme song to Gem off my mind.”
— Here’s a link to the Jem and the Holograms theme song on YouTube…

“I just went in from gardening outside and looked at the clock… It’s only 5:30pm?…”
— and it was dark already…

@thefrugalgarden That sounds delicious! :: RT Kabocha curry corn soup hits the spot.”
I have to search for this recipe…
