you know that hard to reach spot in your garden that you can never get weeded or that corner of your yard that nothing grows; POTATO BAGS !!!
Potatoes are so easy to grow and these bags, eliminate weeding and digging!
I started mine early and started harvesting them late, July.
Just cover your seed potatoes and water regularly they are not needy plants just make sure you keep them covered otherwise they will be sunburnt🥵

Tomatoe - tomaato! No matter how you say it; when you slice it, you taste summer 🌞
My tomatoes are on the small side this year, but they’re still delicious and juicy. I start my tomato seeds early March and keep clipping off their tops to make them bush out and grow a hardy root system; I had my first ripe tomato in mid July!
The word tomato comes from the Nahuatl word, meaning “the swelling fruit”
(good to know if you ever find yourself on Jeopardy 🤣) This nightshade plant can provide you with 28% of your daily recommended vitamin C intake with just one medium sized tomato🍅and as you can see; Sophie and Macy are always monitoring the perimeter for bunnies❤️

Had the best day celebrating 2 birthdays in the Fischtner house today! 🥳🩵❤️

I don’t grow a lot of flowers, but the ones I do are kind of outstanding☺️.
I germinate my petunia seeds on top of the soil in January in the hot humid pool house. By March, they’re ready to move into a pot of their own and in late May I have blooms.
I fertilize the petunias with every third watering ( they need to eat if they want to grow big😉)
My favorite petunia is called Evening Scentsations; they are blue and have a clean crisp floral scent🥰
Sophie and Macy keep the bunnies out of my gardens, so they wanted an honorable mention in my GLOG (Garden Blog)🤭

Let’s go Glencoe!

Thank you to all the mermaids at Southwest Middlesex Pool that went over the deep end with Malyn & I today! Kudos to the 8am class - the early bird gets the worm (or as the case was this morning: the frog!) Mother Nature saved the 4pm class from wave pools but I think we all had a good workout anyways!

Special thanks to Scrivens who invited us to train the life guards for aqua fit using the over the deep end method! 😉

Sometimes size does matter!🤭 Cucumbers are the heroes of vegetables 🥗. The first vegetable most kids eat without argument and they go with everything. They are nutrient rich and will keep you hydrated consisting of 95% water. I grow english cucumbers, they need something to climb on, lots of sun and water. The only trick is to pick at the right size; too small and they taste dry and bitter, too big and they have no flavour at all(still talking about the cuc’s); but get them just in between and they are juicy, sweet and crunchy! Store your fresh picked cucumbers at room temperature not in your fridge; if they get cold they shrivel up and go limp (😉 honestly, I can’t make this stuff up😁)
