Yes, 37 Tomato Plants
Cori | June 28, 2010
So, as most of you know by now, tomatoes are pretty important to us. Garret and I love fresh salsa, homemade tomato soup, diced tomatoes in salads and with pasta, sliced tomatoes with anything, etc., etc., etc. So we decided if there was one thing we were going to be successful at in a home [...]
Wait a Minute…
Cori | May 24, 2010
Who ordered snow at the end of May? Sure, it’s pretty, but I’m a bit worried about my garden. Have a lovely Spring day, wherever you are! Me? I think I’ll skip Spring Fever and move on to Summer Fever. It’s got to be right around the corner!
Good Morning, Spring!
Cori | May 17, 2010
Good Morning! I have to say that I love living in Utah; I have found very few things I dislike about life here. But these ant piles completely freak me out! This one was by our garage door this morning when we stepped out for our walk. They’re Everywhere! It seems like they’re all over [...]
The Latest
Cori | March 26, 2010
One of my favorite quotes is: “There are years that ask questions; and years that answer them,” by Zora Neale Hurston. It goes right along with my belief that life is full of seasons, whether they last months, years, days or hours. Right now is the season for me to support those around me. When [...]
One Year Later
Cori | February 9, 2010
I’m amazed to think that we have been in Utah for one whole year now. I’m reminded of that old adage, “The days go by like weeks and the weeks go by like days.” I have yet to update you on the holidays in my life, but I can’t help but feel as though this [...]
Adventures with Mung Beans
Cori | April 17, 2009
Mung Beans turned out to be a favorite. The sprouted beans taste just like fresh peas straight from the garden! These are particularly yummy on a salad, but I found myself occasionally grabbing a bite straight from the fridge for a ‘snack’. And they were super easy to sprout. Try them and let me know [...]
Trying Sprouting
Cori | April 8, 2009
On our new ‘reduced-budget, living-out-of-town’ journey, I have discovered items that it would be good to be more self-sufficient with. I can say that I’m only going to the store once every two weeks to save on gas and impulse spending, but that means that for at least one week we go without certain perishables; [...]
Growing Herbs
Cori | April 1, 2009
For the past couple of weeks I’ve been dreaming of growing fresh herbs and vegetables. Maybe its spring fever; or I’m getting more accustomed to the idea that if I don’t grow it, I have to “drive in to town” to get it. Or that I now live in a climate that doesn’t fight against [...]
Bean Method Revisited
Cori | March 29, 2009
I’ve had requests for more precise instructions on my method for bottling beans. First, let me say that I am not an expert and I don’t know that my way is the most correct; there are other methods. I will gladly share my method, but do check the manual that came with your canner, buy [...]
