Saving Marigold Seeds
     I love planting marigolds in my garden because they are so great at helping to keep pests away from my tomatoes, peppers and other plants.  Not only that, they attract pollinators like bees!  I'm so happy to report that my garden attracted many bees and ladybugs to it this year!  Marigolds also bloom profusely and add extra beauty to the garden.  Once the blooms begin to dry out on the plant, it is super easy to harvest the seeds and save them for next year!  That is a money saving way to have marigolds every year without having to purchase more seeds, and since the plants you had were healthy and beautiful. the ones that you plant from your own seeds will be just like them the next year!

Father's Day Crafts
     We just entered 2025, right?  Except we are in the halfway month and Father's Day is this coming weekend!  Not only that, I will have grandchildren arriving here on Friday Night who will be wanting me to help them create gifts for their dad!  
        This set of grandchildren are in the older group of my large, wonderful crowd of grandchildren, so it is going to be a challenge and yet a lot of fun to come up with ideas that they will enjoy making and not feel are too young to come from them, and that their dad will enjoy and treasure.   Today I am going to share some ideas that I think will be great coming from kids who are 14, 12 and 10!

Many years ago, when I was in elementary school, we made a Mother’s Day gift one year based on the book I Love You the Purplest by Barbara M. Joosse. Despite the simplicity of it, my mother loved it and even now, roughly 15 years later, still has it. Whether this is to make for your child’s own mother or you are making it with a class of students, it is sure to be a gift that will be remembered and treasured for years to come.

Straw Mulberry Jam
     Ever since I discovered mulberries a few years ago, I have been enamored with them.  (By discovered, I mean tasting my first mulberry ever from my son's tree!)  They are just about the most delicious berry ever in my opinion and since they have a short season, I watch for them in the Spring now to make sure that I don't miss out on them.  So, when Anita messaged me that she saw someone on Facebook inviting people to come and pick from their tree for free, (my favorite price), I was over to that place in about 5 minutes!  You're welcome, because now you get to try this amazing Straw Mulberry Jam for yourselves!
