Not a content creator. Just a rando from the midwest who likes to "craft" and garden. Mother. Wife. Sister. Friend. Ally. Nazi Slayer.
Spring is moving fast. Seeds are still being planted, temps all over the place, doing my best to stay focused.

Unilever fired the CEO of Ben and Jerry's for political reasons, i.e. their anti fascist campaign. Ironic since that's why I bought Ben and Jerry's. So, what other decent ice cream brands are out there?

The sweet potato slips are in full swing for the Stokes Purple. The Beauregard not so much. 3 planted, 1 survivor but it has sprouted and there are leaves. Pretty happy for my 1st try. #Gardening #Gardening5B #MidwestGardening

Theres a 1 day difference between the 1st pic and the next 2 pics. It's my 1st time growing slips. How fast are they supposed to grow? #gardening #midwestgardening #5bgardening

Update on the poor little Rosemary that I had gotten from Meijer. After repotting her and letting her dry out and get some decent lighting, I have to say she's happy. I'm getting new growth. Fingers crossed for this little beauty.

Sally got some extra decor today. Can I just lament at how unfair it is that there will be snow and cold this week. The horrors of the midwest lol

Got a Rosemary from Meijer at pick up. The plan was to propogate it. Pic 1 is what the Rosemary was supposed to look like, pic 2 is what I got. Sad, water logged, dying. Hoping I can save it. Repotted in drier soil. In the bright sun on the windowsill. I want to cry for this poor thing. #Gardening

The Oregano is popping. Some of my babies are getting their true leaves on. Miracle of all miracles, I have a dozen leeks from 5yr old seed. I've never eaten a leek in my life but if I'm not a fan I can give them to the food pantry.

Go forth, my little onions. Rise! I was hoping for better germination but the seeds are kind of old. Old is still good. I'm glad I got this bunch and I'll start more this weekend with newer seed. The blending of the seeds, united to bring forth a better onions harvest. #Gardening

Just a friendly reminder that emergency contraception is on Amazon for less than $10.

And just like that, the little seed is making it's way to the universe, rising out of the darkness to find the light. This is how we grow. Welcome to the world little Shallot.

I want to try using the moon phases for gardening. If youre not familiar the Farmers Almanac has good info. When the moon is waxing you plant your veggies and fruit that grow above ground like Tomatoes and Peppers. When the moon is waning plant root crops like carrots and onions.
