eat chickweed

I saw this information here. I love learning about wild edibles.

Yes, this is the stuff I pull out of the ground when weeding.

live to cook blog recipe

This looks very good - I'm eager to try it - will try to post a picture after I make some. First I will make my own yogurt because I have the best way to make yogurt using a non-electric yogurt maker. It makes a quart. It just has a plastic container you put in an insulated container - you could probably use a thermos; I haven't tried that. We have so much mint around here; I'm always trying to find ways to use it up.

May garden

I took a few pictures of things growing outside - always fun to compare them later on in the summer. I have a bunch of these type plants everywhere - they are so easy to make more and more of them.

In this picture, I planted lettuce in the white box and marigolds around it. You can see some poison ivy on the fence - I pulled a bunch today but missed that bit. Pineapple mint is growing here too.

Speaking of poison ivy, our neighbor to the east has it growing up their house. You can see it next to the house. Sadly they don't cut down any of the trees growing up around the perimeter - wonder what it will be like in a few years??

I've planted many tomato plants here and there around the borders and on the northern part of our yard. I'm sure they'll be much bigger in a month.

tomato plants

I planted 18 of my tomato plants - have lots left to plant. I thought I'd sell at Farmer's Market this summer, then I sprained my ankle the end of February and the farmer market person didn't contact me with info like she said she would, so I'm not doing farmer's market but I will have lots and lots of tomatoes if they all grow well. They look good now. I have Yellow Plum Tomato, big slicing tomatoes, Beef Sandwich tomato and some other kinds. I'm not taking many pictures; maybe later.

The picture I posted I got from somewhere or other.

Good morning

It rained today. My sprained ankle is getting better but I still can't walk normal. It's been since the end of Feb. but it's gradually improving. My tomato plants are growing and I'll be glad to get some of them in the ground. I mostly blog at wwww.pray4Israel.wordpress.com because I like to share spiritual insights and our trip we took to Israel last May almost a year ago.

seedlings

This morning I planted a bunch of tomato seeds, also marigolds and zinnias. I'm not using this blog much - in fact I forgot I had it. I like wordpress, but this will be fun to use more too.
