Good morning, SuperKasey. Today is the Monday morning after a short week. Also, the CEO at my office has been out of the area for many days of the past two weeks, so she’s in “LET’S COMPLETE ONE MILLIONS TASKS!” mode. I only have time to leave a quick note for you (and for those of you following this gardening battle). Here comes some link-dumping.
I’m sure that you have already experimented with some kind of DIY homemade pesticides or unguents or something. But check out this helpful blog post from a fellow urban green thumb (she calls herself herban, ha ha.) on how to make your own all-natural pest repellent. I might try it myself.
This is a fun blog about some city-folk who went rural and became stewards of the land (I like that term; I’m going to use it more often). This post is neat, but I love the bits about their semi-aggressive rooster. It makes me chuckle.
I hear you have strawberries (maybe? possibly? I’m sure you’ve at least done them at some point…). So here is a pretty mouth-watering post about making jam and ICE CREAM. MOTHER-FLIPPIN ICE CREAM! The entire blog is pretty tasty. I mean, I could just lick the screen. I could lick the screen, but I have not yet. Don’t start cracking jokes until I do, okay?
I’ve added all these folks to the Blogroll to the right, so check them out.
I know you have LOTS to tell me, SuperKasey, and I’m ready to read it all. Stay green!
Thanks so much for the mention and the link love! I have added your blog to my blog roll, too. I love reading about other urban gardeners!
