Gardening 101

For me I feel like crafting and gardening go hand in hand.. could be just me though?! Well I am going to give you five "tips" (more like what NOT to do's) on basic gardening.

1. Know what you are planting, and read the label. If you dont you could end up planting sweet pea in your vegetable garden and peas in your flower bed. Seriously it's happened. And of course you will not notice until they are in full bloom...

2. If the label says to space out the seeds do it. If you dont you could end up spending 2+ hours 'thinning' out your carrots, and beets.

3. Dont try to pull weeds after 2 weeks of non-stop rain. If you do you could end up with hungry mosquitos attacking your soft juicy butt resulting in unpleasant ass-scratching in public. Also the roots will be so wet they will likely break before leaving the ground.

4. Wear gardening gloves, or at least know what poison ivy looks like. If you dont you could end up with a swollen, itchy, burny pinky for a good hour or so now..

5. Wear sunscreen while weeding your garden, if you dont you could end up with a half circle burn mark on your lower back; that happened to be sticking out without you noticing.

Well those are my "tips" on gardening, I hope this makes you feel more confident in your own gardening skills!

Im still here!

Well it's been a while, but I am still here...are you?! I sure hope so because I have some exciting stuff to share!! First Im going to share a fab recipe, a great way to eat your green beans!! I was never a fan of green beans, but since I had them growing away in my garden I came up with a delicious way for everyone to enjoy them. The "Sesame Greens" Recipe can be found under the recipes tab ;) Next is an awesome tutorial I found for the little guys out there. I'm going to make this upcycled hoodie for my little guy with some of his fathers old clothes that has lost the elastic over the years! The tutorial link can be found under the tutorials tab. That's all for now but I will be back soon :)
