Moving homes and webhosts

Posted by Lilla under Just thinkin'

Update: The Web Host move is complete. You should be able to tell a speed improvement, I sure can!

As I’ve posted before I’m moving… but I am also changing webhosts!  My associate found this screaming deal so we are switching all our blogs over to HostGator . Go check it out!!!  I’m really excited about it.

Anyway, I’ll probably be down a week or so with my physical residence move as well as the host move, but once I’m done I’ll be back on and cleaning and commenting until my fingers bleed I’m sure.

My Gardening Plans

Posted by Lilla under Gardening

Hi again!  Well I have plans to grow a container garden this year.  I want some tasty fresh tomatoes, beans, cucumbers and well pretty much anything else I can get to grow in a pot.  And according to this site, http://journeytoforever.org/garden_con.html, practically anything that will hold dirt/soil can be used.

I’m looking at composting on a small scale, and this site gave a very detailed approach that I plan to adapt to the SoCal region. http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/organic/msg1216242314245.html

I’ve also picked up a really neat book as well that was put together by Roger Yepsen and the Editors of Organic Gardening magazine, Newspaper, Pennies, Cardboard & Eggs For Growing a Better Garden

I will be starting this fine project in February, after I get myself moved into a new apartment.  I will have a large patio to fill with potted plants.

Into the New Year!

Posted by Lilla under Just thinkin'

Whew! The holidays are over! Time to get serious about things again. Not that I wasn’t busily experimenting, it just didn’t seem like I was getting any posting, reading or researching done.

I did order up some fine microfiber cleaning cloths, which I put to work the day I received them. Mixed up some great cleaning solution recipes I found in “Green Up Your Clean Up” by Jill Schoff. Love them!!! (Just as an aside, my boyfriend picked up this book at my house the other morning, and like it so much he asked me if he could buy it from me. I gave it to him along with half a dozen microfiber cloths and told him to knock himself out.) Read the rest of this entry »
