Grow Vegetables or Flowers almost anywhere

These Growing Bags from Zyanwa are really neat and can be used in big or small spaces. Think about it. Growing vegetables on your terrace, porch, or steps.

The bags hold 5 gallons, are breathable, and come with sturdy handles in case you need to relocate your garden quickly.

I think this is great for those who can't have a traditional garden but still want to grow some fresh food, and how cute are these filled with flowers?

Quick and easy to use. I haven't used them a whole season yet but hope to get more then one year out of each bucket. You get 5 of these so you can mix it up with what ever you would like to grow.

Reusable Produce Bags

 Trying to be more green as a family is something we have been implementing since we were young parents years ago. Some years are better then others, but little changes make for a big changes over time.

Our new green step is to use reusable product bags instead of using the plastic bags at the store. So far so good and many people have asked me where I got them from so here I am letting everyone know.

This set comes with 5 bag which is good but I think we need another set to have enough for our bigger shopping trips.

Plastic bags don't let the fruit breath but these bags make sure that there is air flow to keep the produce from getting condensation built up in the bag.

When they get dirty I just throw them in a laundry bag, which by the way these can be used for as well, wash without fabric softener, then hang to dry.

You can find these produce bags on Amazon.



We produce high-quality, lightweight, washable and reusable produce mesh bags for fruits, vegetables, and whole foods. Other uses include storage, or even laundry.

My first Hand Trowel

Really up until now we have just had a shovel to garden with along with our hands. My father had all of the neat tools, and I am sure if he were still alive I would be able to use all of them, but alas he is not, and his tools were long gone before I decided to garden, so here I am the third year into gardening.

I know have a ratchet pruner, the said shovel, and now this really nice Hand Trowel from LifeWell. I also have a garden knife which is quite nice too.

This year we still used just the shovel because the tools I did get came after we had already planted. Next year I hope to have a few more pieces to make my gardening easier.

With Fibromyalgia I need all of the help I can get to stay on top of my garden and planting. Thankfully I have a great teenage daughter who loves to garden, she has been a Godsend. I love how the handle and trowel are strong and sturdy.

Even though we have not owned a trowel before I have looked and to be honest I was't impressed, most would bend with a  little pressure from your hands, I had no idea how they would stand up to hitting a rock, or breaking up rough ground. With the LifeWell hand trowel I don't have to worry about that it is sturdy and has already stood up to my daughter using it in the garden, plus is looks really nice once cleaned up and put away. Still has some shine to it.


You can find the LifeWell Hand Trowel on Amazon.

Spiralizing your fruits and vegetables

Spiralizing your fruits and vegetables seems to be the new rage. Certainly nice for those of us who may have picker eaters in the family.

Make a food fun and most kids will gobble it up, even if they won't eat it any other way. We don't personally have that problem but we do like to have variety in our diets and trying new ways of eating fruits and vegetable is always fun.

We like to include our children in gardening, baking, cooking, and shopping for our meals. They learn about their food while being able to actually take part in the preparation of their meals.

Our children like to pick out something new at the store so our whole family can try it. With the Elacra Spiral Food slicer you get to have a little fun with the foods you already know you like while trying new ways to eat them at the same time. The kids love it.

The products are sharp so an adult should always be present and doing most of the work but the kids can try some of the spirals that have already been cut.

Easy to use and clean. This has to be one of the best kits for preparing vegetables and fruits I have seen. So many pieces for one low price. Hard to beat.

 You can purchase the Elacra Spiral Slicer on Amazon.
