Q: What's Growing On...

A-Existing: Fredonia grapes, hops, figs, lemongrass (overwintered in my front bed and was relocated to the chicken run border), lilacs, peonies, roses, hydrangeas (successfully propagated), butterfly weed

A-new to the garden: My Chaos Garden is a bust as far as I can tell. I dusted the area with the seeds given to me and I got bupkis. Part of the problem is that we dug around in the same area to set up a post (reusing segments of an old flag pole) for a shade sail for the pond and the seeds may have been buried a little too deep in the end. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have 2 peanut plants surviving currently from the 9 or so peanuts that I sowed! The squirrels feasted on most of what I put in the ground. 

  

Burrito Prep

I have been trying to prepare myself for the increased demand for food at home, and wanting something healthy(er than Taco Bell) for quick meals and I happened upon a video for preparing high protein cheesy chicken and rice burritos in the crockpot. I am DOWN for that! I didn't have every single ingredient on hand so I had to make substitutions, but the family LOVED them. We ate them for dinner AND have a few in the freezer ready to pop into the microwave when hunger hits. I WILL be making more of these soon.

 The recipe makes 18 burritos with 32g protein and 12g fat.

It's Alive!

A friend of mine gave me her Whale Fin Sansevieria plant when she moved away last summer. I did not feel worthy of this gift, but I accepted her and could not tell if she was happy for the longest time. Then, this spring she finally gave me a sign! Plants rule!

 

 

Hope Springs Eternal 🤞

This year I'm trying to grow a few new things in the yard, like borage, zinnias, turmeric and peanuts! I didn't know that peanuts grew in Oklahoma! 

I also have (fingers crossed) a Chaos Pollinator Garden sowed with random seeds given to me by a friend. I am stoked about that and the frog fruit transplant that he gave me as well. 

Borage, Salvia, Feverfew, Yarrow, Basil, ???

Good Things
