Garden Update

Well, as I have shared with most you, I have no green thumb whatsoever, but through a lot of trial and errror, so far, and with the AWESOME help of my mom, this is what we have........

No, that is not lettuce growing there to your right. Yes, those are weeds we haven't pulled yet. Actually, my mom came over a pulled a ton of weeds just a couple of weeks ago, and now they need to be pulled AGAIN! Look in the second row of black there, towards the bottom, there is a bigger plant. That is my cauliflower. I grew that from seed.  I actually grew a lot from seed, but not very many plants took to my garden. I hear that is a pretty common problem this year. So, we (my mom)  have planted and they have died and we have planted again. So, now I have just been buying plants little-by-little. I do really like this whole setup though, thanks to my dad.

Okay, so this next picture is a picture of my peas that I grew from seed.......

Look at those babies! They look AWESOME!!! Yes, I started these from seed and their still ALIVE!!!

Okay, this next picture is a picture of the corn that we, again, grew from seed, but these ones we just put the seed right in the ground and this is what we have come up with......

Thse are looking GREAT! Like I said before, I didn't start these in the house like all my others, but started these straight in the ground. Not bad for my first run. :)

Okay, so, here are my tomato plants, most of them purchased as most of the 40 or so plants that I started inside did not take to the freezes that we had recently.......

Yes, mom just planted these a couple of weeks ago and they are not doing to shabby. I was able to pick these up at my "favorite" Walmart store for $1 each. I bought 10 of them!

Okay, this next picture is a picture of one of my very few (three or four) tomato plants that made it. I started them from seed, in the house, and now look at this pretty baby......

On, here is one more picture to show you...These are summer squash and zucchini squash that I, once again, started in the house and seem to be doing fairly well......

Some of the plants that I started in the house that didn't make it were:  Jalepenos, mixed peppers (green, red, purple, yellow), carrots, tomatos, cauliflower. I had a lot, but many lessons have been learned. I am not going to start my garden, from now on, until June. I can't devote that much time and money into having to redo it and redo it again. I'm still teetering back and forth of whether or not to start from seed in the house or not. Plus, I still have much much more to learn. You know, it doesn't really help when I get to look out my window and compare my garden to this, of my neighbor's.....

Okay, so now take a look at mine and mine doesn't EVEN come close to her beauty. I REALLY REALLY have garden envy and really hope that some of her garden mojo blows my way. :) Isn't that just a beautiful garden? I am sooooo jealous. When I grow up, I hope to have plants that look like that. :)

Just thought I would share my update with you all. I can't wait until it actually starts getting produce.

Thanks!

Product Comments

Well, it has been a little while since we have done some product comments. If you are new to our product comments, all we do is e-mail companies and let them know how much we appreciate their product, then, in return, most companies will send you coupons. I go out and find the products we want to comment on, I get you the link of where you need to go, and I even provide you with the verbage to use. Here are a few random companies/products I chose today.....

Mission Thank you for making such great products. My family and I really enjoy the Low-Carb Balance Tortillas. They really taste fresh! I appreciate that they are within my calorie budget for the day and my family and I can both enjoy these. We look forward to enjoying Mission Tortillas for a long-time. Thanks! Cheryl

Coffee-Mate Thank you for making the best coffee creamer ever! I love Coffee-Mate! It makes my coffee taste sooooooo good. I even use it in some of my cooking. Vanilla is my fav. I really look forward to using Coffee-Mate for a long-time. Thank you so much!! Cheryl

Drano Thank you for making the best product ever! My husband and I rely on Drano and only Drano to get our clogs out! We have tried many other options, but ALWAYS come back to Drano. We are going to continue our loyalty to Drano, as it has helped us out sooooo much! Thank you! Cheryl

Splenda Thank you for making the best alternative to sugar ever. My family and I love the taste of Splenda. We look forward to using Splenda for a long-time. Thanks! (the character amount you can type into their comment section is limited to 250, so your comment has to be very small).

Okay, good luck.

Thanks!

Again, this is one of the recipes shared with us as an entry into my $100 gift card giveaway. This one is via my good friend Tammy.

Marshmallow Fluff

1 jar marshmellow creme
I container strawberry cream cheese spread
variety of fruit
Mix marshmellow creme and cream cheese together and dip fruit in it.

You could use fat free or lite cream cheese too. Don't know how much healthier that would make it.

Yum! This sounds really good and EASY!

Thanks Tammy!

Safeway

Safeway is having a weekend sale again this weekend and Goldfish are going to be on sale for $0.88 a bag! So, if you have not used up your coupons that were available last week on coupons.com, you will be able to use them this weekend at Safeway for some pretty cheap Goldfish! I don't believe they are available to print anymore. Even at $0.88 a bag, that is a GOOD DEAL!!! Another way to maximize your savings would be to load the two coupons from shortcuts.com to your Safeway card!

Thanks!

Update to the "new" Safeway coupon policy.....

Apparently, there has been an update to the "new" Safeway coupon policy....

9. Safeway will accept valid Catalina manufacturer coupon that is issued to a customer by another retailer only if such coupon is for a specific item.

So, it looks like you will no longer be able to use RR or Catalina for dollars off. You can ONLY use a Catalina for a specific item that you buy. You know, sometimes when we check out, the Catalina machine will print a coupon for $1/1 Razor or something like that. Well, it looks like those are the only Catalina's we are able to use, dollars off of a specific item.

Make sense? When I am in Safeway next time I will definitely ask about this change. I was really looking forward to using my RR at Safeway too. Bummer. :(

Thanks to Thrifty and Thriving for the heads up on this.

Yep, still not very happy with them.).
