Apparently the way we plant potatoes today. It takes a bit longer and they get a bit thrown around, but I’m all for getting the kiddo to love spending time in the garden and growing his own food. He sure knows what things look like before the end up packaged at the grocery store. Today we’re planting Caribe, Yukon Gold, and Makah Ozette (local PNW heirloom) - all from @irisheyesgardenseeds, either newly purchased this year or saved seed from last year. I’m not at the point where we save all our seeds yet, so I do have to supplement for now, and they are one of my favorite suppliers #notanad. If we have enough time we’ll be planting some other seeds (maybe another round of carrots?) and in another few weeks the more summertime seeds from @budgetepicurean. . . . . . . . . #growyourownfood #hyperlocal #urbanhomestead #zerowasteliving #frugalliving #pnwgardening #frontyardgarden #gardenwithkids #homegrownpotatoes A initially completed a “no spend” challenge back in November of 2017, and it was a game changer in terms of the way I looked at my money and how I spent it. While it wasn’t truly a zero spend month, I religiously tracked every single penny as it was spent, with a focus on as many zero spend days as possible. It changed the way I looked at the little purchases and helped me to focus on only spending on what mattered to me. Fast forward a year and a half, and these no spend days have changed for me. After a long conversation with @fierymillennials while I waffled about spending $11 on lunch on what would have otherwise been a “no spend” day, I decided it was time to fully write out my thoughts about how these days fit into my life now. *link in bio* . . . . . #nospendchallenge #nospendmonth #budgeting #debtfreecommunity #financialindependence #financialfreedom #moneygoals Proof that I don’t JUST have edibles in my garden and there are some flowers. I know I’m definitely biased toward plants that can feed us (even flowers - like nasturtiums) or have some direct benefit (like marigolds as a pest deterrent), but lately I’m thinking I’d like to plant some flowers just for the beauty of them. The kiddo is already far ahead of me - his raised bed was filled entirely of wildflowers last year and the bees loved it 🐝 🌸 🌺 🌹 Do you grow flowers? What are your favorites? Bonus points for perennials or ones that are easy to save seed so I only have to pay for them once. . . . . . . . #springflowers #daffodils #trillium #pnwgardening #frontyardgarden #urbanhomestead #savethebees #plantflowers #frugalliving #hyperlocal #growyourownfood #prepperfi #sustainableliving Camping with the dogs last weekend. We don’t always bring them along on our travels because one isn’t great in the car and one is pretty anxious in general, but I do love it when they tag along! I’m always amazed at people who can take their dogs everywhere... that has never been our pups. Amazingly, though, it’s actually gotten a lot easier as they’ve gotten older (they’re now 7.5 and 8.5 years old). I’d say it would be cheaper to bring them along, but since we have a roommate, it doesn’t cost us anything pet sitting fees when we adventure without them (saving us some SERIOUS cash over the course of a year). . . . . . . . #campingwithdogs #hoodcanal #pnw #olympicpeninsula #weekendadventures #frugaltravel #frugalliving #gooutside #gocamping #debtfreecommunity #househacking #financialindependence Ferry ride out to the Peninsula again for a last minute camping trip to take advantage of the beautiful weather. It sure doesn’t feel like early spring, but I’ll take it. Sunny and mid sixties all weekend, which feels extra warm after the unseasonably cold and snowy February. What are the odds we have sunny weather in April too? . . . . . . . #olympicpeninsula #washingtonferries #washingtonstateferries #camping #pnw #pnwcamping #frugaltravel #weekendadventures #travelwithkids #travelwithdogs #feelslikesummer #feelslikespring Prepping the garden for spring this past week and my son ended up digging up some old potatoes...whoops. But, they are starting to sprout so we will be planting them purposefully back in the ground soon! Dirt has finally warmed up and it feels like spring 🌱 🥔 . . . . . . . #springplanting #gardening #pnwgardening #growpotatoes #saveseeds #frugalliving #hyperlocal #urbanhomestead #gardenwithkids
