Been a while? Hah!

in Garden Journal - Post Comment "Never doubt in the dark what God has shown you in the light". -Michelle Terrill

Wow, I love that quote up there, I had forgotten about that. I wonder who Michelle Terrill is. I can't remember where I came across that. Isn't that a shame? I am going to google her and see what I come up with.

Well, I am not a homesteader anymore I am a Camp Manager's wife. But I love this group and we live out in the "boonies", and I am going to make a hand-cobbed play -house with my daughter this summer, and I like you guys, so, I guess, maybe I'll stay here for a while. We'll see. Heh, maybe I'll just "lurk" and read all of your posts. I don't know, but I do have access to a computer and the internet again for a while (and maybe one night a week that I can sit and read/type the night away) sooooooooo. 

We will see.

Oh yeah, and I am making a square foot garden this summer which I am calling a Potager (even thought it maybe really isn't) which sounds more impressive to me (and silly to my husband, especially the way he says it), basically because the weeds won the last time around.  Oh, and also because it is going to be at the front entrance of this property and needs to be pretty, hence the excuse to add flowers all around it if I want to. I am thinking of adding a pretty sign, so people will know that it is a garden with a French name. Jenette's Potager-if you say it just right, even my name sounds French, which to me is only impressive if you are talking about kitchen gardens and eating.

 
Oh and hats off to my friend Janet's mom, because she took the Ruth Stout idea and actually did it well and if Janet will be able to e-mail me pictures of them I will post her pictures, because her garden was beautiful. Mine was not (except that first month or so in spring, before the weeds and heat won out...not enough straw!).

Happy planting all!

Jenette.

About Me

A non-green thumb who loves plants, and wants to know "why" about everything, likes to eat what is fresh, and is so amazed at the world God has made, and sometimes not so impressed by the things man can make, who wants to learn how to be a good care-taker of all that God has blessed us with, and be thankful and generous with it. Oh yeah, and I homeschool :)
