Spring Planting

So, we’re already getting ready for the Spring planting season, in fact, I’ve already sown a good set of seeds for the garden area. I tried some new peat potting greenhouse thingy and planted Bachelor Buttons, Snapdragons, and Catnip. As I told my husband, Big Guy, I wanted to try it out on something I wasn’t going to be heartbroken about not sprouting. I love flowers, but I love fresh veggies more. So, I now have 72 potential plants growing.

Living in a trailer isn’t the easiest, especially for a storm wuss like me. But, it has its upside. Namely, we can grow as big a garden as we want. We just can’t build anything permanent. This year, the kids and I get to grow pumpkins, cantaloupe, beans, lettuce, strawberries, tomatoes, potatoes, carrots and more. Due to it being Indiana, we can’t really grow corn without upsetting someone. Cross-pollination of crops is taken very seriously here.

Once the plants start to sprout, I’ll be able to take pictures and we’ll see how it goes!

An Introduction

I go by kittencaboodle on most things I do online, but I also answer to “Mommy” or “Emily”. Though, depending on circumstances, I threaten to change both my names or tell my kids: “There is no mommy, there is only Zuul.”

They don’t get it yet.

I am a mom, step-mom, wife, daughter, writer, crocheter, gardener and the list goes on. In my spare time, I teach composition and literature classes.

I’m looking forward to sharing my adventures and outcomes with all of you!
