6 months married and its time for BABIES?!

Wow its weird my Wedding was 6 months ago now, it feels like ages ago and only yesterday at the same time!

Any way, we didn't really celebrate BUT we did get some BABIES!!

Baby PLANTS that is!!!

This is the biggest vege garden I have ever planted and I'm so excited to see my babies grow!!

Gardening is such a hopeful exersise.

• I hope the weather is kind to my wee plants, enough sun and water.
• I hope the snails don't eat them in the night!
• I hope there is HEAPS of produce I get to give it away!

I also LOVE the idea of comanion planting! I've use some online guides to get plant buddies next to each other.

Its cool how some plants help others grown and even defend each other! (Some don't like each other either! I hope my spring onions are'nt too close to my peas!)

I need some famous companion flowers now, sented Marigolds!

and I am also hankering for warmer weather cause I REALLY want to grow HEAPS of Basil!! My favourite herb!

In other news Me and Joe are BOTH starting new jobs!

YAY!

Our next project is sticking to our current tiny budget even though we will soon both be earning a little more; the aim is to SAVE SAVE SAVE!

p.s You may have noticed the absence of "Urban Garden - Seed Bomb" Updates . . .  well, there has been a few storms and some severe frosts and i think my dream has died . . . oh well, next year i'll do more research and try again! maybe its all about timing! who knows?

Green Monster Smoothie Day 2

Strategy works :) must keep preparing smoothie evening before.
Yesterday the smoothie did keep me full till lunch time which is good for me because I am usually ALWAYS hungry.
Im not sure if the vitamin & mineral benefits would have started "working" yet but I defiantly feel good . . . I think its that feeling of achievement; "Eaten My Greens" or like a secret weapon . . . kind of like the feeling of knowing you're wearing an awesome underwear + bra set combo and nobody knows but you.

Green Monster Smoothie - DAY 1

Today I made us a Green Smoothie!
YAY
Finally!
I have made them a couple times in the past but failed to get a routine going . . . I think I figured it out!
Half prepare the ingredients the NIGHT BEFORE!!
So LAST night I put all together in the mixer jug in the fridge.;
1 x Peeled Orange
2 x Peeled Kiwi Fruit
1 x Big Handful silver-beet
1 x Big Handful baby spinach
1 x Tbsp Cacao Nib
1 x Tsp of Fresh Ginger shavings

and in another wee jar I put 3 tbsp of Chia seeds and filled it with water.

THEEEEEEN in this morning I added two chopped frozen banana's all the chia gel and a little extra water and gave it a big WIZZZZ!!

SUCH a gorgeous green!
Felt happier and healthier just looking at my glass of goodness.
I had to convince Joe it wasn't going to just taste like Spinach and grass . . . he slugged it back - good boy.

Im so pleased this is going to be our thing . . . first goal one every work day in October :)
