Once the placement is determined and the dirt loosened we combine a natural fertilizer such as steer or chicken manure or mushroom...

Salsa Container Gardens Part 2: What Your Need to Get Started

by Ann Stea

CONTAINERS

The ideal Salsa Garden contains onions, a tomato plant, a pepper plant and cilantro. Any container will do if it is the correct size. My container happens to be pretty large and more of a huge raised bed created from half of our backyard lawn. I don't recommend this unless you have a spouse like mine or are like him and really enjoy digging in the dirt for hours on end. Pottery containers such as those purchased at your local mom and pop garden store or even the plastic...

What's More Locavore Than Your Own Container Salsa Garden?

Hey ladies – I have spent the week working with Roger getting our Salsa Garden planted. I love the whole dirt digging process and the salsa that results in the in end.

I wanted to share the joys of gardening with all my readers but know that I am woefully unqualified. So I asked my friend Ann to share some of her gardening joys with y'all as well as telling us all how to create our own salsa garden. I plant everything in containers (as I only have a back patio,) but the results are fab. We...

Question for You (Unless You're Naturally Organized – then you can go rearrange your silverware drawer…)

I have an opportunity to work on a project about organization (from the point of view of someone who will never be naturally organized, but has learned how to make it work.)

My question for you is this: If you are not naturally organized, what is your biggest challenge with staying on top of life – is it the house, your family, your schedule. If so, can you tell me what it is?  It would be a big help to my project and it is always great to know that we don't suffer alone…

Is Your Husband a Hottie? Here's a subtle way to let him know.

OK – How Cute is that?

If you tell me in the comments something sweet, encouraging or downright flirty (let's keep it PG ladies) and tell me in the comments either in yesterday's post or today's and you are one of the first 25 to do so, I will send you this bookmark (that you should so not use as a bookmark – it should be put up on the fridge where it can make him blush…).

If you attended the event this weekend and already have one of these collector bookmarks, I will send you another little...

How Much do Military Wives Rock, Winners and a Giveaway

I consider myself to be one tough cookie (hey, I was a single mom for a few years, and have been a step-mother for five years, so when a challenge comes up I can pretty confidentiality say "Bring it on!") but I got to meet some pretty amazing women.
I had the best weekend hanging out with the hero-wives at Ft. Lewis Army Base in Washington state. At one point during my weekend retreat for The Husband Project I asked the ladies how many of their husbands were currently deployed. I would...

Two Book Giveaways!

We have two great giveaways this week – you are going to love these:

First, we have fellow Harvest House author Hillary Lodge with a great fiction read. Plain Jayne is the story of a journalist who has lost her edge (um, there are many days I can relate to Jayne life just with that one little fact,) and so to regain some perspective she goes to live in an Amish community for three weeks. I love Hillary's straightforward writing and her meshing of two worlds. To find out if your as big a fan...
