🎃 Don’t hate me! Yes! I’m posting a photo of pumpkins... but if you watch stories you will know why: It’s pumpkin growing time! Go watch stories for all my tips on how to grow your own pumpkin patch in time for Fall. 🎃 First tip: plant them ASAP or there won’t grow big or colorful enough in time for September. 
INTO THE UNKNOWN!!!! ✨ Every time we do story time in our Secret Wardrobe Reading Nook I find myself singing songs from Frozen. 😆 That said- I think it’s time for an updated tour of this space, what do YOU THINK? 
Did you see my stories about growing seed potatoes in a bucket? This is my first year growing them, and it seriously blew my mind how they grow: Potatoes can be grown in a garden bed, but because you mound up the soil as they grow, it’s more practical to grow them in buckets. When you start off, you only have about 6″ of soil total in your bucket, and as the potato plant grows, you keep adding more soil to the bucket, covering the stem. Something magical happens as you do this. You can’t see it, but the bucket fills up with tubers and when the plant dies, you can knock over the bucket (or dig through it) and you will have a crop of home grown potatoes. Awesome, right?! Anyways, I posted all the details on how to grow them on my blog (also saved the story version to my highlights) 
Can I get an amen? Filler up! ☕️ 
Happy weekend friends! I hope you all have a cup of coffee in hand, and loved ones near by. I’m just sitting here, sipping ice coffee while watching my boys play with cardboard boxes- the best toy in their eyes. Haha!
