It’s getting cold here. The kind of cold where I don’t want to get outta bed in the morning because our house is frigid and my bed is warm. But, we’ve still been able to harvest a few veggies out of our garden. Last weekend, we manged to pick peppers, melons, eggplant and tomatoes. This will surely be our last harvest of the year, but we had to get a few more homegrown veggies in our bellies before our first fall frost.

In other garden news, I picked fresh rosemary and it was a key ingredient in next week’s TGIDIYFriday craft. I love the way rosemary smells – so fresh!

I’m sorta sad to say goodbye to our garden. But, I am happy to say hello to pumpkin spice lattes and comfort foods like hearty soups and such. Speaking of pumpkins…we are heading to the pumpkin patch this weekend with my sweet niece and nephew…pictures to come on Monday:). Cheers to a wonderful weekend!

Happy Friday friends!

It’s June. Can you believe it? Summer is in the air and us Oregonians have ants in our pants to see some sunshine! In between downpours, we’ve been busy sprucing up our garden and planting herbs and tomatoes and lettuce and such.

No garden is complete without handy garden tags, and today I get to show you how to make them on your own for dirt cheap. Hop on over to hi, friend to read the super easy step-by-step DIY instructions and read more about this installment of TGIDIYFriday!

Nothing beats fresh veggies and herbs from your own garden, does it? My personal favorite? Lettuce, hands down. Cheers to the weekend and a wonderful month of sunshine (fingers-crossed!).

P.S. For anyone out there who lives in a somewhat cold and rainy climate, any tips on how to successfully grow cilantro? I’ve already killed three plants. Help!

Introducing our first harvest…

And yes, they were just as delicious as the look.

Happy Wednesday:)!
