Long time no post....

I took a bit of a vacation.  As you can see I haven't posted here since November!!!!   That's about to change.  I'm about done with school and I'm finally getting use to my husbands new work schedule.  It only took over a year.    I'm ready to move forward and devote more time to Aromatics and Herbs.

So, here's a little catch up.   My garden is awesome this year but I'm so bad at photographing it.  I really need to get out and take some pictures even though half of it is gone now.    We got so many cukes.   I'll be posting a tute on the fridge pickles I made.    I had to rip up most of my squash/pumpkin plants.  The vine boarers got them big time.   I had a huge cinderella pumpkin too.  A borer made it's way into it.   I save it though and will take some pictures because it really is interesting.    Tomatoes are doing great but had some animal eat most of them.  I think I corrected that problem with some coffee grinds.  This was the first year our grape vine had grapes.  That has been a learning experience.  Next year we will need to net them.  The birds ate all 50 bunches.    Potatoes are awesome and we've been eating those.    I really just adore having a garden.

I started selling some food items again though the name "Back to Bliss Bake Shop."   I've been trying to figure out what direction I want to go with that and I believe I'm just going to stick to selling a limited amount of goods though Universal Mama. 

Kids are having a great summer.  We've been doing a lot of traveling around locally.   I feel like we are never home.   I love making positive memories for family.

I think that's about all for now.  Check back soon!

Peace and Love,
Heather
