Sewing Inspiration

Sewing Inspiration

Friday September 18

This picture continues to inspire me to sew.

I am sitting today ready to finish

sewing unfinished projects.

The first one will be a little shirt for my

dear daughter.

This picture actually sits in my downstairs

bathroom. I do get to glance at it from time

to time.

A New Fruit

A New Fruit

Wednesday September 16

My husband planted about 25 plants of these

little fruits. They are called ground cherries

and they grow from a plant similiar to a

tomato plant. In the picture below you

will see how small they are. They drop to

the ground when they are ripe.

They have been the talk this summer.

To anyone out there who may have a

grandmother who has them in her

recipe cards, I would love to hear

from you.

Frugul Tip

Frugal Tip

Growing greenbeans is one more way

to cut costs on the grocery bill.

Have you considered what you pay for

green beans at the produce stand?

To grow these green beans it cost 2.50

for a package of seeds.

I grow these

where ever I can fit them into the garden.

This year I started a new bed so I could have

a whole row just dedicated to green beans.

Actually, I grew two rows 16 feet long at the

beginning of the season. Then I put another

row in later , so that gave me three rows.

Then, I put more in between some green

pepper plants closer to the house.

One final section went in next to the kale

and cabbage plants. These were not all

planted at the same time so it gave me

beans all season.

So, far I have froze 3 gallon zip lock bags.

Plus, just eating them raw in the garden as

I am working.

Having these little gems in the freezer

in the winter is a great addition.

Now, that is what I call a savings!
