Latest read that discussed one of my favorite tv t Latest read that discussed one of my favorite tv teen shows and farming. I feel like Hilarie and I could be friends- and that she could help convince my husband that I need chickens. A fun read that also touches upon some very serious topics. Her chapters about pregnancy and motherhood were particularly touching. Her love of farming and her home are fun and inspiring. #bookstagram #gardening #sahm #motherhood #gardenlife #gardeningbook #onetreehill #hilarieburton #gardener #theruraldiaries #bookstoread

Flashback Friday. A love post to Sun Gold tomatoes Flashback Friday. A love post to Sun Gold tomatoes. A delicious tomato, I had a very easy time growing. My baby who had just turned one last summer was addicted to these tomatoes. I had to guard the garden from her- she would climb into the garden to get a tomato. I ate these tomatoes in salads, pasta dishes and as snacks. I already placed my order with @burpeegardening for another plant for this year. I can’t wait! #sungold #sungoldtomatoes #tomato #fbf #flashback #flashbackfriday #gardenblog #gardenblogger #garden #gardener #gardening #njtomatoes #newjerseytomato #nj #newjersey #zone7a #zone7agardening #zone7agardener #gardenprep #myburpeegarden
