Plant Away

After our greenhouse collapsed, we couldn’t get to it for a couple of days due to the rain. Luckily Donny was able to save most of it. We just moved everything to the side yard where the other garden is.

It’s not pretty, but it works, hopefully.

The potatoes and tomatoes are growing big and strong.

The mint comes back every year no matter how cold it gets.

I’ll be planting the top of this pineapple this weekend. They make great plants and grow really big. My last two died when it froze. It’s a cheap was to add plants to your flowerbeds. Plus, you get to eat the pineapple.

The Hostas are doing well in their new planters.

Please ignore all the solar lights. I am trying to see which ones are still working. I also need to power wash the front stoop. All in good time.

My oldest daughter sent me a recreated picture.

Same exact stuffies a few decades later.

Hannah’s prom is tomorrow so we are going to practice her hairstyle tonight. Wish me luck!

Sasquatch Trading Post

We found out about a grocery outlet in Gladewater that is just a short drive down Hwy 80. We didn’t know what to expect, but it looked interesting online. It’s called the Sasquatch Trading Post.

We drove right by it the first time because you actually drive through the gate and park on the side. When we walked in there was just so much stuff.

A lot of it was restaurant sized. There were also a lot of items from Germany and England. The prices were very good. For $40 this is what we got.

A 6 pack of cranberry juice, 10 packs of craisins, Louisiana Hot Sauce and 3 onions

Sliced Gouda, Camembert, broccoli, and slab bacon

Corn and hash browns

Hand rolled butter and European butter

Pretzel buns, hamburger buns and 2 huge baguettes

We were very impressed and will definitely be coming back to the Sasquatch Trading Post. All of the employees were so nice and the store was clean and products were easy to find. I can’t wait to make corn chowder and bruschetta.
