Gardening

Don't feel silly! I'm sure the stuff in the package is healthier than the stuff in the bottle anyway. At least you know you are adding REAL milk and REAL water….who knows what the processing plant adds to those bottles. :(

Good point :)

Ahem. Actually, that would be mayonnaise and milk. :P

Yeah! I think your right! I thought it was water too! :D (The Either or Forum just got through a big talk over mayo…half the girls there don't like it!) Do you like mayo, @saved by grace?

@Rosie- Do you like mayonnaise?

Not really. I'm not totally opposed to it, but I certainly wouldn't choose to have it. :)

Same here :)

@PotGN: Yes, I do like mayonnaise, but I don't usually have it. :)

We have real peppers growing all over our pepper plants, real cucumbers growing all over our cucumber plants, and real squash growing all over our squash plants!! :D I'm so excited!!

My siblings just picked some more bush beans out of our garden this morning! Our pumpkins are not growing yet….but there are TONS of flowers. We have to be careful now…. the snakes have been out and about. A week ago my brother Justice was picking up black trash bag pieces that I had ran over with the lawn mower and he nearly picked up a little black snake! It scared him pretty bad. Have any of y'all seen any snakes this summer?

Wow, that's exciting! :)
Really? Where do you live? We live in Ohio, so we don't see snakes on our property very often – though, when we were in OK last month, a black snake nearly touched me when I was sitting on the ground at one point….

Scary, Rosie. One time a garter snake bit ISC. Can you go onto Chatzy, Rosie?

Eek! That must have been scary! My parents don't really want me to tell where I live….but I can tell you that I live down south and we have a lot of snakes in the south. We used to live in Florida and my Dad once shot a 6 ft rattlesnake at our home there! My Dad skinned it and my Mom cooked the meat. My Mom and I did not eat the meat though! It smelled yuck…but the kids said it tasted great! When my Dad cut it open to skin it, a rabbit came out! (It was dead of course, but it was still in whole shape.) We had a lot of fun adventure stories from when we lived in Florida.

Can YOU go onto Chatzy? I'm bored!

I am not quite sure what Chatzy is….but I don't think I can. I'm sorry. I have some stuff I need to be working on right now but I can chat with you here for a little while in between chores if you would like. Do you have a garden? If you don't would you like to tell me a little bit about some adventures you have had in your life…I love hearing about adventures other girls have had. My siblings and I once discovered a little creek next to our property in Florida and it had whole and pieces of pottery cups in it!!!! That is because the area we lived in once used to be a pine farm where they harvested pine sap. We once found a tree near the creek that had 14 nails in it from where they drained the sap!

We do have a garden. And it needs to be weeded. One time I was about to weed it and knew I would get my feet dirty, so I just took off my flip-flops. But after I stepped in I learned that it was very wet, and my feet got very muddy. But my little brother had lots of fun jumping up and down in it and splashing mud everywhere. :)

Oh, and if you'd like to see Chatzy, go to this link: http://us14.chatzy.com/34461441057384

Sounds like fun!! I enjoy walking through the garden when it is really dry and warm…the dirt feels good on my feet. Of course, It only feels good if there is any dirt there….I don't like stepping on all the weeds if no one has weeded it. What kind of plants do you have in your garden? We have bush beans, pumpkins, tomatoes, and bell peppers. I also have an herb garden.

We have beans, tomatoes, pumpkins, sunflowers, (we used to have strawberries, but they're all gone now), cabbage, celery, lettuce, parsnips and probably other stuff.

Oh and I like your username.
I'm guessing your a girl but what is your gender? :)

Wow! Y'all have a lot of stuff! Have you all gone berry picking any this year? We have a bunch of wild blackberries growing on our property and I have made about 5 blackberry cobblers this month….although I think the blackberries are done now that the heat and bugs have gotten to them. We have also gone blueberry picking on a blueberry farm. Do you like blueberries? I know a couple people who do not.

Yes, I am a girl! I am guessing you are as well. My username is actually the meaning of my name. My name is Evangela….and it means Proclaimer of the Good News! I love my name. What does your name mean?

My REAL name (Hannah) means graceful. Yes, we have picked strawberries from our garden. Blueberries are okay. We will probably pick blackberries later this week. We have a blueberry farm right down the road, but the blueberries are late this year. Probably by the end of this week they'll be ripe.

Oh! I have to go now. Nice talking with you!

Bye! Make sure to check out Chatzy later if you haven't already. sends hugs

Our project for today ……….. Canning green beans! (Not from our garden though, we don't have one!)
