Garden up date

I have been experimenting with color mulch this year. You can see more on my garden blog if you like.

My tomatoes with the cypress mulch is out growing the others with red or silver mulch. The cauliflower is growing great silver, but getting a bit larger on red.

cabbage is doing well with aluminum foil under it.

please do not mind the weeds I have not been able to work on them in a few weeks.

now look at this poor cabbage with no tin foil.
big difference

My self watering buckets are trying both colors. The silver one was just planted yesterday. And had to go through the storm we had. So It needs some catch up time.

Have a wonderful day and remember to laugh and play.

It's New

This is defiantly a story of something bad turning into something great.

Our stove bit the dust. I never liked electric stoves.
But we went shopping and at Lowes in the scratch and ding isle I found the bargain of the century.
Not only is this a convection oven but has the5th warming burner.
My gas cook top. I had to leave at my old home had the 5 th burner and I loved it.
This one too has both big burners in front. I like that too.
It is still on the dolly so I have not taken it for a test drive. But I hope cooking will be fun now. I can already tell with the glass top It will be wiped allot. It already has finger prints. So hubby made fun of me cleaning the top before it is even installed.
I am not a clean freak by any means. But like my glass table. That I pretend is not there.
I would walk by and see finger prints. I ended up covering it up. LOL

Any way Thanks Lowes you made my day. I have not had a new appliance since 1996.

The weather has been crazy tonight too. There were as many as 10 funnel clouds around us. We saw one to the south of us. But lucky only 1 touched down. north of us. The sky was green and bouts of heavy rain. But we had no damage. Yea!

Have a wonderful day and remember to laugh and play.
