Saturday Goodies
Happy Saturday to you! Departing slightly from my normal list of carnivals and festivals, I first want to point you two posts that caught my eye this week. One for fun, and the other a very practical post that has me thinking.
First fun:
Peanut butter play-doh! How fun and delicious does that sound!
And the practical:
One of my favorite tools: This post is not exactly what I thought it would be about. It is about greenhouses. Like most gardeners, a greenhouse is on my someday list. I imagine it as a place to start my seedlings early, and move them outdoors when it was safe. Maybe I'd grow lettuce in it over the winter.
This article is about how a family uses their unheated greenhouse in the Pacific Northwest to raise most of their food for the year, without canning. It is very interesting and full of pictures. It has me thinking about greenhouse gardening. Also, it has me really wanting one, but don't worry I'm not running out to buy one. The last thing I need to do right now is to max out my credit card limit.
And the carnivals and festivals:
Carnival of the Recipes
Make it from Scratch
Homesteading Carnival
Home Preserving Carnival
Living Simply Saturdays - this is a new one over at Keeper of the Home. Go check it out!
Have a great weekend!

You can build your own greenhouse (at least a miniature version) for pretty inexpensively. My family did one a few years back for under $150, and it was 20' long, and 10' wide.
Anything can be done frugally if you put your mind to it.
As for winter gardening, and year-round crops without a greenhouse, I have an upcoming post about just that subject here in the next week.
Our neighbor has a bunch old windows he said he once salvaged to make a little greenhouse. He never got it done and said that we could have them. I'm not sure how big it would be, but it would be a start!
I'll be looking for your winter gardening post.
I love posts with links, even if it does promote browsing rather than making me bored enough to get offline and finish cleaning ;-)
Traci,
I feel your pain! LOL!
