    Easy recipes, gardening and my 100 year old home.

    If you like easy, tried and true recipes, this is the place! I've been feeding people good food for decades. Some of that food comes from my garden. I share tips that will help you grow vegetables and herbs to use in your recipes. Plus I love to put together beautiful planters.

    I live in a 100-year-old home and that means that there is always a project! Come join me if you like good food, playing in the garden dirt, and seeing home improvements.

    Gardening

    Fresh herbs and vegetables from your own garden make your recipes taste even better. It's a great way to save money on groceries too! Gardening is also much cheaper than therapy (so I've heard).
