Trees and Plants which Give Us Sweets and garden Ideas for Very Small Spaces and Extremely Small Budgets

We all have a sweet tooth some time or another. Plants and trees hell us satify our sweet tooth in many ways. They sort of give up some of their goodness for us. The abundance of sweet delights depends upon the plant. We get several of our goodies from them. To name a few here are some names: Licorice, Peppermint, Ginger, Syrup Maple,Cocoa,Vanilla, Sugarcane, and Marshmallow and Cinnamon.

But the all time favorite of everybody is Chocolate.  Now Chocolate has quite a bit more work involved. It is a lot of hours and you have to know what you're doing. Real homemade chocolate is a delicacy though.  Something very special. And a love and a lot of work goes into it along with pride.

Another great sweety isSugar cane, which can be grown in the southern part of the states. Also there are videos which show how to harvest your own sugar. There's also an old time goody which reminds me of Kissemee, Florida making Cotton Candy. If you're interested the video noted below shows how to make some. 

There are numerous ways that are shown in which to make sweets, and there are ways to grow some. You just have to take the time to learn, and be patient. The advantage of growing cane sugar is you could use it(if have learned how to harvest and produce it) to sweeten fruits for treats for desserts. It could also be used in baking goods. I know it seems like a lot of work, but may be well worth the while.

I've always said: It never hurts to have a garden. Even if it's a borrowed spot in a neighbor's yard.( With permission). You could always offer to donate some vegetables to them for helping out. 

Powdered sugar: It's not used as much, but it can be useful at times. Especially at times when you don't have time to go to the store. Powdered Sugar is a very simple mix. It's often used in baking and is quite often used to sweeten doughnuts. It can be an additional asset to your cupboard. Especially when you're in a pinch. So check out this recipe, and try it out sonetime. You never know when it may be needed.

I'VE SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST!!! If you live in very tight quarters, then you, and I are in the same boat.iving in very small spaces makes it very difficult to figure out where you can put plants. Even small veggies. Well, I did some research and found a great site for everyone who lives in a very small place, and it's got some fantastic ideas for the shoestring budget minded. Please watch it all the way through, as it is very idea provoking. I've even come up with a few of my own.


Happy Easter, stay safe.

When Your Plant Says: "Gimme some Elbow Room!!!"

Image
Its odd. We, as human beings never realize the things we have in common with plants. They have a love for pretty music, and cheerful tones, so do we. They adore attention, so do we at times. They like quiet conversations, us too. And they also have some physical features in common too!They have Elbows, which are important, which I'll explain how they're vital to your plant, especially if they are a Pothos, or another vining plant similar to it. Elbows(also known as joints), are like your plant's lifeline. This may be where you notice new growth. Often times it is where new branches bud from, or new leaves. Every once in a while, it doesn't hurt to check for new growth, and clear any old debris that may be slowing down new twigs, branches, or leaves . As the weather gets warmer, it's always a good idea to clear out any debris from your plants, including veggies. You feel better when you clean up, they do too . And it healthier (generally speaking), to kee

The Main Tools You Want For Gardening

     The basic tools you're going to use almost daily in your garden, are a good trowel (hand held), and a good Spade, rich potting soil, and maybe some  kind of fertilizer. This will give your plants, and flowers that added zest to feed them. Fertilizing can really give your plants a great boost, but only when done well. So please be sure to do plenty of research on the subject. There's a lot of information that can be helpful. If you  have a vegetable fetish, and would like to really pinch corners, then the next time you buy  produce of any sort, pluck the seeds out, set them on a dry paper towel, or paper plate, or most anything you feel they'll be rather safe on, and allow them to dry in the sun for a few days. When they feel as if they have dried enough to put them in the ground, you have seeds for growing.You can also do this with raw corn, cataloupes, watermelon, lemons, oranges peas, beans, and (maybe even rice), never tried it. Experiment. Try all veggies i
