2022 Garden Season is Almost Over--Watch a garden tour on my YouTube Channel!

    I'm sharing a video of my garden as it moves into the end of a great season of peppers, green beans, of course kale, but a lack-luster tomato season. This could partly be because I chose smaller tomato varieties and they just didn't get very big! The Valencia Orange were very productive, meaty and had a nice, sweet flavor. My Romas were not the best producers this year and seemed to have a leaf issue most of the summer. The Five-Star Grape tomatoes were and still are VERY prolific. The Green Zebra were just a bit meh. 





    I'd appreciate it if you could also subscribe to my YouTube channel if you feel so inclined! My first goal is to get 100 subscribers so I can have a real name on my channel instead of a random number and letter stream. Thank you in advance!

"Kitty, that's my pot pie!"

This is what was created out of the leftover roast chicken.  I used a 9" deepdish pie plate and only used puff pastry on the top.  I have an aversion to soggy bottoms.  We had another couple over and between the 4 of us-actually the guys ate 3/4s of it-it disappeared!  There were plenty of South Park pot pie quotes laughed at :)  

Battery Poaching

      So I am not a battery person, I shall rephrase, my fiance and I are not battery people.  We don't have a "supply."  We have poached any and all batteries in the house for the TV remotes and the wireless mouse and swap with the digital camera when needed.  We're out.       Come last night when we're in the middle of trying to cut our cats claws (more on that bugger some other time,) and I start beeping loud.  My pump does I mean.  Scares the cat, so he gets another Pounce treat...I check what the hell is the matter with the pump and it says low battery.  Crap.  I have yet to purchase the expensive, special lithium batteries for this sucker.  So, I forget for the moment and continue torturing my kitty.  He was fine after many Pounces...      Thirty mins later, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP!  Remember that I need to go to Target...check the pump and bam! "Battery dead, I refuse to give you anymore insulin 'cause you didn't pay attention to me!"  (or som

Finding Your Garden Why

  I created a new website! It has my blog and the herbal products that I'm creating from the home grown herbs and flowers that I grow. Please come on over and follow me at: www.katiebirdsgarden.com        Recent events have encouraged—and maybe forced—many people to grow their own food. This isn’t new to humans, but since people started living in cities, residential lots became smaller, time has become sparse, not many people were growing their own food. Grocery stores are abundant in most places, home delivery enables us to order things and receive them almost instantly. But people seem to be feeling the need to come back to the “roots” of supporting themselves, at least a little bit.      So, you feel the need to garden.   Before going out and buying all the seeds, you should think about why you actually want or need to do it. Some things that pop into mind could be, wanting to eat fresh (or maybe clean/more organic) food, reducing grocery costs, preserving for off seasons,
