Just sharing...

my second finish for this month. It is a preemie quilt. My quilt guild donates them to a local hospital. This quilt was made from leftover pieces of an autograph quilt I made for my #2 son when he got married. I even made the binding from the pieces. I am linking this finish up to Such a Sew and Sew and Sew Bitter Sweet Designs.

I am also sharing what's in my garden.  These daffodils have been taking their sweet time blooming. The green part started coming up back in January. They just can't make up their minds with the cold, then warm, and then cold again weather that we have been experiencing.

I thought I would share something I learned from a gardening blog last year. Sorry I don't remember the name of the blog. The blogger shared that sometimes when you buy green onions or leeks from the store they might have their roots still attached. She said to plant those to get more onions or leeks. I tried it and it works. I buy organic veggies which still have the roots. Here you can see green onions, leeks, and celery in a bowl of water. You will notice more roots on the leeks and green parts coming up on the leeks and onions where I cut them. I am trying the celery to see what happens. Even though there are no roots on the celery there are some green leaves popping through the center.

 Here are some I planted a couple months ago to see what would happen. Yay! I have more to harvest. Even if you don't have a garden space like me you could put them in a flower pot and grow your own. Pretty neat idea!

 Theses are two beds I have had under the hoop houses during the winter. Cabbage, onions I planted from seeds and kale.

 If you look close at this photo you can see some green leaves which is garlic. Looks like the Easter Bunny came early to hide eggs.

Don't forget about the book blog tour. Come back tomorrow to read what my first guest blogger has to share about her new book.
