RYMERPT 2016 LIBRARY GARDEN

IF YOU HAVE A LIBRARY AND A GARDEN WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED?

Workin on the library. Got two bookshelves and three large storage bins for $100. Making big progress. I may be able to plant seeds tonight. Now I will have room for the seedlings in the library. Library is a cat free zone ( its ok I haven't taught the cat to read yet anyway.) Seedlings will be safe.

Thanks for joining me on my journey!!!

This glog will be picture heavy and full of lots of highs and lows. ( my life tends to rollercoaster quite a bit)

If you have followed my last two years here at THP you know that we are in a new double wide trailer and I now have space for a decent garden.

My seedlings will start off in the library and eventually either enter the 10 foot X 5 foot garden or go into 5gal buckets.

I will amend the garden soil with a couple bags of potting soil, a bag of worm castings, and a bag of chicken shit.

There will be lots of picks so hang on tight.


This years grow list coming soon.

Each year corporate teams two offices against each other for a "steak and beans" compitition. The office with the most sales in a 4 month period gets a steak and beans party. Looser gets chicken. Company wide the focus is on trying to win the steak prize. Corporate also asks for recipe submissions to fuel the fire a bit. I submitted a crockpot spicey bean with hocks recipe and won company wide. I got a 20 gift card and bragging rights:

     Congratulations! My wife made a huge batch of red beans last weekend and it was loaded with pork hocks. Hocks and beans were made for each other. Any chance of getting your recipe?
     Good luck winning the steak dinner!

My Honey helped me plant out today.

I still have about a dozen plants in the greenhouse that need a bit more time. We did, however plant eighteen.

The cups just for temporary ID untill I make markers

Do you eat it with the skin on or do you have to peel it off?

 

[Rymerpt]

You can eat the skin
