In the spirit of the thaw, and appreciation for everything this March muddiness promises, tonight I finally ordered my seeds from Baker Seed Company! They're an organic, heirloom seed company that celebrates the beauty of non-GMO vegetables, fruits, and flowers. This will be the first spring in about five years that I'll be planting a garden again, so I'm hugely excited! I ordered: rosemary, German chamomile, lavender, basil, two varieties of lettuce (one red, one green), zucchini, peas, pickling cucumbers, tomatoes and black cherry tomatoes, string beans, Mexican sour gherkins, bachelor's buttons, kiss-me-over-the-garden-gates (besides the fact that they're gorgeous, I think the name will be good conversation starter material!), and in celebration of this little house... Canterbury Bells!
Thinking ahead to spring cleaning also has me excited... the thought of airing out the house and scrubbing it all down from top to bottom is delightful. Plus I'm a little tired of wiping up muddy boot-prints! I found a bunch of recipes for all-purpose, all-natural cleaning sprays, and decided to make some of my own! Conveniently, several of us around here are currently smoothie / juice fasting, so orange and clementine peels are pretty abundant. It's a useful and easy way to avoid waste!
