Friday Face OFF 4/18/52

URGENT NOTE: I received an email form, who I thought was Jeanie The Marmelade Gypsy, one of our blogging friends. I go to her blog today and she has this on her blog.

URGENT NOTE: If you get an email from this address -- jeaniee.wkar.gmail.com -- it is NOT from ME.   And, you might get an email from Familie Barwitski (Viola). After I answered what I thought was Viola's email, another blogger received the same email but from me (with an incorrect address, as above). Just beware. In your email, block and delete it. My apologies. Onward to the post! 

If you get an email from me, block and delete it. I didn't write to you.

 

 Welcome To Friday Face OFF (FFO)

This is the place to show off your faces or your face. Post any type of face from any medium. You can create it, or find it in nature, or even that face in the design of the
woodwork in your house. 
Human, animal, alien, or monster. 
ANY KIND OF FACE!
 
Thanks for all the nice compliments on my garden. All of the plants I started from seed.
Also some good news. There was a cancellation for the dietitian. YAY we saw her Wednesday morning. I took paper work on how I keep track of the 3 p's and other things. She was quite impressed with what I am doing and the fact that Mr. M's. blood work has improved. She was very informative and was able to answer all of my questions to my satisfaction. She also gave me 2 websites. So all is well there. We see her again in 2 months. 
Now for some FFO
How would you like to drink tea from this cup?
Of course I would. LOL I love this.
Then I found a few more but not as good as the first one.

 




 



 

 


 
However, I love, love, love, this one. I don't think I would drink from it, but it would go perfectly in my creep collection.
Now for some features.

Don't forget to link up with Gillena

That's it for me.
Now it's time to show me your face.

Tuesday Already

 Hi Everyone!

I can't believe it's Tuesday already. Too much on my plateS plus trying to get the garden going. We have had some NO RAIN days but with that comes the wind. OMG!!!! It's vicious. Mr. M. really helped in getting hoops put up on my new raised bed. It just about did him in but he got it done. He is so anemic that doing anything takes twice as long and it tires him out completely. However, he is a trooper and is always there for me. Here is the garden so far.
 

 New raised bed. Bad shot of the hoops. LOL Yes, there is an umbrella.


 And this is what is growing in the new bed.


 This is the next garden area. Here there is potatoes that need to be moved, peas, string beans and squash.


 This is one half of the old raised bed. There is cabbage, squash, carrots and onions. I will show you the new way I am trying to grow carrots.


Here is the other half of the old raised bed. Beans, peas, cabbage carrots and onions.

 

 Here is one side of the big garden. Napa Cabbage, green cabbage, broccoli, bush and string beans. Carrots and radish seeds are there too.


 The other side of the big garden. Beets, carrots, onions, cucumbers.


 I like this view of the big garden.


 Here is the 5th area. Buckets of cauliflower, Cabbage, The grow bags have more cabbage, Cauliflower and Broccoli and two bags of onions.


 Here is a bit of a close up.


 Let's not forget the potatoes. These are russets. Indeterminate.


 These are gold potatoes. They grow so different. Determinate.


And of course the strawberry plant with onions inside the cloche and flowers outside. There is a rat trap by the fence too.
I'm not sure why I decided to grow so many brasicas this year.
Are you growing a garden? 
I would love to see what you are growing.
