Random Blogging

I would like to say that i might be back

[ Posted by krista Fri, 13 Jun 2008 11:22:31 GMT ]

So much time has passed since I have posted. I am embarrassed, but there were so many things that have kept my time busy. Now I have at least one kidless day a week to work on whatever I want and this is a continuation in my DIY projects around the home. Things i will be updating are..

-my veggie garden and other garden maintnance and planting.

-cleaning, sorting a basement which has not been cleaned in years.

-arranging my garage sale.

-finishing off a basement for family and entertainment use.

-my efforts in lawn maintnance.

-design and building wood structures for our yard.

-other clean out projects like closets, garage, vehicles, and so on..

and more!

And then there is the main focus of my life right now.... Starting to build my photography Business.  Kusnier Jones Photography.   kjpics.com

I wanted to expand not only the buisness part but the fact that this city needs to be more documented on photo.

 So with that. i will be starting laundry to get ready to clean the basement.

My eyes have been opened!

[ Posted by krista Fri, 21 Dec 2007 17:53:51 GMT ]

After getting onto the gardening forums all over the net someone has pointed out something interesting that has given me a whole new outlook on winter gardening.

Instead of indoor winter gardening someone said to winter sow my seeds OUTDOORS?!!

I was intrigued..

Check out Wintersown.org 

This is a great instructional read and i have to give lots of credit for doing this on a short budget and recycling!  This might be added to my activities list for january after the holiday mess is over.

But thank you for the helpful information!

The tip came from one of the helpful members on "idigmygarden.com"

Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds.. A MUST SEE !

[ Posted by krista Mon, 17 Dec 2007 13:06:23 GMT ]

Now i have had a real good weekend. In the midst of the holiday stress i have gotten a mild and relaxing taste of gardening (other that the indoor garden that i have going on now)

I Got my Baker Creek seed catalog (found at rareseeds.com)  on friday. So this weekend when i found nothing else to do or when i was waiting for dinner to cook, i curled up with this gem and found myself getting sidetracked, while daydreaming about my garden :)

I like this seed catalog because it seems to have a down home feel for one. This has been lost in the reproductions of catalogs that people have done to make just dollars.

In the pages i found a very detailed list of veggie (and more) seeds.  Many things i never knew exsisted,  many things i will be trying for the first time.

I will be placing my spring order from here. Especially for the unusual thing i found in there.

Plus i have actually taken the time and read all that they have posted in their catalog about Bakersville historic village. It seems to have lots of family fu, lots of festivals and other events and looks like a good time. see more at Streetsofbakersville.com

The first harvest, ALREADY!

Gardening in the winter is fun now that I actually can produce something from my indoor garden.

This is a must read!

[ Posted by krista Sat, 08 Dec 2007 12:59:21 GMT ]

I was just going around searching for other blogs because i am sick of forums. It seems like forums have people who either have no clue on what they are talking about or just posting because in the sense they like to see if they can get their scores up with posts of "that is so cool!",

well yeah.. umm thanks people!

  Any who

I have gone to searching for blogs now (because people who have blogs, for the most part, have more time, information and interest invested while writing about their specialties)  

I came upon a blogger (while searching for houseplant blogging) who not only has a wealth of information about houseplant care but has a little bit of information on blogging etiquette, that i am sad to say, i did not know about until i read his entries.  

first off i apologize to anyone i might have offended in the way i have posted in the past when referring to some of the info i have on here. 

Second, if anyone knows of a post that is against any etiquette  standards then please inform me so i could rewrite it or withdraw it from my blog.

Back to this interesting and informative site tho.

I came across Mr. Brown Thumb and he is a must read! I could have spent hours on there this morning finding information on unknown (to me) houseplants and houseplant care.

Things i have learned from his site just this morning...

- what are the most easy houseplants

-succulent prorogations

-a list of low light plants

AND MUCH MORE!

Please check it out if you want some new and interesting lessons from someone who has learned them from experience.

I would have spent more time on there but the site gave me so many ideas that i now have a lot of things to do with my plants today!

THANK YOU MR. Brown Thumb!

Bamboo maintenance

[ Posted by krista Fri, 07 Dec 2007 15:44:24 GMT ]

maintenance of my bamboo is a monthly thing. I try to change the water and wash the rocks monthly. Then once a year (yesterday) i did the whole shebang.
