SODA BRAIN

Green smootie girl just posted 7 reasons why soda is not healthy...they are quite dramatic and possibly true.

Too bad I didn't read the 7 reasons before this afternoon...it would have saved me from the 3 diet cokes I just HAD TO HAVE  for a splurge at lunch and doing the yard sale today.

Now I know better once again. It's kind of like church, you have to keep learning the same things over and over again...before it finally sinks in.

Click on smoothie girls website to read on her blog the 7 reasons...that is, if you really want to know them!

Thanks for a fantastic yard sale today...my goodness, we sold 3/4 the stash and it was so nice to see everyone's support.

We will start loading up the next round of $1.00  $2.00  $3.00 and $5.00 boxes for the next one...  appreciate you!

new affilliate...green smoothie girl

Happy to announce we have a new affilliate on our blog.
Utah's Robyn Openshaw
popularly known as
green smoothie girl
Click on her link on the side of our blog
(it's in yellow just above our tune list.)

I have read most of her blog and believe she knows, lives
and believes in whole foods and what she
represents. She travels all over educating the public,
changing the lives of people.

Right now as I wait for our
blendtec smoothie machine to arrive
we are studying from her very thick book
on whole foods.
Learning alot, inspired to live
a healthier life and she makes it
easy to do and understand.
A book you don't want to put down.

12 steps to wholefoods
a very good book to live and learn by.
again
just click on her website from the shop blog,
it says: green smoothie girl

and have fun!

I'll discuss later some things that have really opened my eyes.
One being that nuts to be alive need to be sprouted.

okay, after the smoothie maker...will be the x-caliber dehydrator!

PARKING at Just a bed of roses

Somedays at the shop wish we could stack
you up like this
especially with our new 3 days a week!

Confused where to park?

You can park in the 2 hour parking on the road painted yellow curb to the east.
or
around the corner on Main, yellow painted curbe 2 hour parking
or
easiest of all...
you can park behind the building
it says school district parking
you wont get at ticket
anywhere you park.

You wouldn't want to park infront of the shop.
Police frown on that unless
it's for a pickup.
also you can park behind my gray car
in the barbers driveway anytime.

Saturdays are usually no problem.

We know that it is sometimes a difficulty
to find a parking

please know we appreciate you
making an effort to come in
and try to make it worth your efforts.

Starting our list...ORGANIC SEEDS list that is

Hi ya'll!

It's time to decide what to plant
the sun is shining &
it's called spring fever!

We have learned that Heirloomseeds.com
has open pollenated, non-hybrid,
non toxic nor genetically modified seeds.
We are looking for ORGANIC this year.
Start with the best seeds.
On their site besides wonderful seeds of all types you'll find non toxic ways for pesticides, garden tips and learn from neat books.
Even deer repellant.

Mr. Roses is shocked that I have taken an
interest after 39 years of marriage.
(don't worry he can do the work).
His father worked the ground we and his brother live on (there are 20 acres he farmed)  he did back then what was called being a
row crop farmer. He would take his wagon
filled with vegetables and melons and go into
town, meaning West Ogden etc.
The children would help carry the vegetables
to the customers.
He would holler out:
"Vegetables"
and the ladies would run out!

So it's in these boys blood still!

A new "green zebra" tomato is on the list
cool as cool isn't it!

Heirloom seeds date back over 100 years ago.

trying a colorful variety of carrots this time

Look how fun to get the family
being creative with veggie man

Have you ever tried Lemon Cucumbers?
Well, you should because they are sweeter, mild, don't make you
go burp and great appearance.
easy to grow.
I'll find the name of the cucumber we are buying
it's never bitter.
so later on that.

Our ground grows watermelons and canteloupes really well.
Trying sugar baby this year
and will again get back with you on
our favorite.

This year we are trying asparagus.
It's a 3 year process.
Also...bareroot rasberries
waiting for J & J nursery to get them in.

OOps...turn your head sideways.
Grab yourself a good book while its still a bit chilly
and get EXCITED for Spring plantings.
This came from Barnes and Noble, beautiful photo's.
A little present for Carl.

Note:
We tried to order from Heirloom today.
There is a message saying they have an emergency and will
be taking internet orders first of April.
So study up and start that list.
