Fun with Herbs

I had some fun creating some cute herbal wreaths

for a much needed Spring awakening in the shop.

I got the idea that Arborvitea was a great base as well

as a great backdrop for all the colors to pop!

This on has lots of silver edged thyme lavender,

chocolate mint, sweet marjoram, & white achillea.

Pretty for a powder room or small bedroom.

Be my Funky Valentine!

We have some pretty & practical things in the shop

right now as well as some very unusual & artsy items.

This paisley print really got me in the mood for

decorating for Valentines Day! I may have to make

some throw pillows out of it!

Huge coffee mugs filled with Healthy Bakes by Catherine

and some yummy new Scone Mixes that we will
have only during the month of February.
Don't forget to mark your calendars February 7th for
Beeker's General Store in Pemberville, OH
Oh yeah! Chocolate Fest!


These are the funkiest Valentine you could give!

Herbal Wreaths

herbs grown right here,

hand crafted here with sweet care

(who needs chocolate?)

Silence for Spring

On a quiet winter tree line
is a sailors delightful sky.

The blues to pinks and apricot hues

so soft but quickly say goodbye.

The days grow longer till I see

the tree line change to green.

I long for days of warmth and light

and peace and harmony.

Patiently Waiting ......

while my mouth is watering as I ad this post!

This is the first year I have ever grown large type watermelon.

I never thought I could grow them big. I wasn't sure what to

feed them or how often and watering was also the question at hand.

I started these from seed in a large hill approx. 36" wide and 8 inches high.

I used the lasagna gardening technique and layered composted leaves, grass clippings

and compost. I planted the seeds in this mound of gold and watched and watered when dry.

I fertilized with fish emulsion every 14 days and stopped when the melons started forming.

I never once had any bugs or mildew issues and the foliage looks amazing!

The melons are getting larger every day and I am guessing a few weigh approx. 10 lbs right now

and they are still growing! I haven't had organic watermelon since I was a kid.

My kids are hooked after watching this process. They want to grow an entire field!

Maybe we'll just grow 10 plants next year instead of just 5!
