Seeds storage



 It has been a while since I last shared what my weekly goal is. Seeing how I was gone off and on the past two months, which seemed to just mess up my routine (doesn't take much).
I've been so busy trying to get caught up on chores around the farm my weekly goal would of been a page long.
Now that I'm getting closer to where I need to be with the chores, I started thinking about projects that I want to do and not ones that needed to be done.
This is one job I have been meaning to get to but I'd  get busy with planting and tending to the garden and I would tell myself I will do the later.
I've been keeping my seed in baggies inside a plastic container that I keep in the freezer. It is a good way to store your seeds. They will last longer that way and I have some seeds from 1999. So don't you think it's about time I go through them.


I have been using them all whether the seeds were for this year or 1999. It's like an experiment, seeing what the germination rate will be. I have been surprise with some and others the germination rate is what I expected.
So my goal is to go through them, plant what I can and just get rid of the rest (those are mostly ones given to me) I'll never plant. And these in most cases are old.
Then once I do that then I'll know what to order for the fall garden.
It's time to start seedlings.

  1. I keep mine in a zip lock bag in the freezer too! I just planted the sweet potato slips that you me inspired me to try. Gardening in the south is so different than the north.

  2. Good idea. Although I don't start much from seed, freezing would be better. Pete's pretty! How about a face shot :)

Countdown to Autumn. 18 days

  After some thought I came up with a general "get to" list for a pre - Autumn preparation. I had mentioned a couple in the last post. I will keep those and have added a few more. I needed to remind myself that a lot of my ideas are a little premature hance the pre autumn and will be better done next month. So here is what I came up with... Deep cleaning is still on Planning activity for next month Decorating inside and out.   Making a fall outfit, sewing and knitting Find some new recipes to try Make a pair of fall or Halloween socks I will be focus on journaling with Autumn being the present subject.  Making sourdough bread again This one I have already started, Watching a cozy, feel good show.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...
