Precious

So last night after a lazy day Anthony and I sat down to watch Precious. Now, I knew this was going to be hard to watch, but there were multiple times I told Anthony to turn it off! The language was rough and that is putting it lightly, and the content was so heart wrenching it was almost unbearable. I was glad that I watched it in the end, but I am still stunned by the movie! I don't think this will be a movie I buy nor watch multiple times.

Today I am off to BUY MORE MARIGOLDS, and maybe some other little flowers, as well as run buy a nursery close buy to see if they have anything I can't love without. Scary I know! I started a second set of green beans, but they haven't come up yet, which is surprising. I am also going to plant some more zucchini, squash, watermelon and cantaloupe. Unfortunately, some of my little seedlings bit the dust since we have had so much rain. However, the 7 day forecast says it is going to be between 85-90!!! Amazing!!! Alright off to the Starbucks and then to the nursery!

Oh by the way, Mom and friends check with your local Starbucks and most of them will let you bring in a 5 gallon bucket and they will fill it up with coffee grounds and then call you when it is full, which in most stores if you dropped it off on your way to work, you could pick it up on your home. Coffee grounds are GREAT fertilizer!!!

  1. Can you put coffee grounds directly around plants? Do they attract mice and other critters? Have fun at the nursery...I always can find something I can't live without...very dangerous!

  2. I put the coffee grounds directly on the soil and right up to the base of the plant. I have never attracted in critters!!! It is great fertilizer and is very high in nitrogen. I put it on my herbs especially. I had a great time at the nursery, minus the tornado sirens going off...I bought some herbs, some cabbage and of course Marigolds!
