Earth Mother

Once I was watching a cooking program on PBS. A man was learning how to bake bread from a master chef. He said, "...I thought only bakers and earth mothers with a million children made bread..." Well, I enjoy baking bread, I have a fair sized family, and I am about as green as Kermit, so I have decided to name my blog Earth Mother. My blog isn't about anything really, and neither is this description, so what you have just read is a preview of random things to come.

Soil Blocking Saturday

After I came home from the market today, I decided to ignore my horrible cold and venture out to enjoy the nice weather.

My husband and I went out to our shed, and gathered all of the ingredients we needed to make soil blocks.

After we had mixed the base fertilizer with the soil mixture...

We grabbed the soil blocker and got to work.

We planted 10 Black Eyed Susan Vine Climbers, and 25 Basil seeds.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. But that is alright. Most of my seeds I can't start for two more weeks at least. It was nice to spend some time working outside with my husband. We made our soil blocks, then we tidied up the mess that winter had left in our yard.
