Also, I've updated my charities section with more options if you're interested.
Faking Spring:
I was in Rural King the other day. (If you don't have a Rural King, 1st of all I pity you because we're addicted. Secondly, it's a farm store with lots of gardening stuff and pet food and chicks in the spring and Carhart coats if that's your thing.) Anyway, I was in Rural King getting cat food and I passed a shelf full of seeds. And I thought, "Those lunatics; it's January 5th. Who's going to buy seeds now?" And then I paused and looked at it--at all the seeds for all the vegetables that I love so much. And then I saw that the cheap packets were on sale for $.15. And then I walked out of the store with 6 packets. Because clearly, I'm insane too. And because the promise of early spring veggies is so inviting. And because I figured that I have a couple of pots inside and this would be a great opportunity to experiment with putting some veggies in them.
Which is what I did. Today I planted some seeds for green onions in my teeny little pot that has housed a dead wax begonia for the last 2 months.
I've had success with those cheap-o onion seeds only once (the 1st time I ever tried, which has made successive efforts all the more frustrating), so we'll see how it goes. But the promise of a pot with fresh dirt and just planted seeds. I guess I can't resist it.
So, if you'd like to experiment with me seeds are on sale right now at Rural King.
Also, Rural King is a great place to buy basic spices. They're normally only $.99 and are on sale this week for $.75. I got 2 oz of nutmeg and 3.5 of ground mustard (don't have to count them yet for the cheap eat challenge; haven't used them:).
