Square Foot Gardening

Erin at $5 Dinners is sharing the latest happenings in her Square Foot Garden on Saturdays. Erin is also inviting readers to link up their square foot gardening posts. I enjoyed watching Erin’s garden last year and benefited from the fact that she harvests her produce one to two weeks before me. That gives her enough time to come up with some wonderful recipes that I can then feed my family when I harvest my vegetables.

I will be joining Erin and linking up a post about my square foot garden, but I will doing it from my gardening blog: One Determined Gardener. I created One Determined Gardener because once things start growing  I am too excited to confine myself to a weekly post about gardening! I will, of course, still occassionally mention my garden, since the bounty will end up in recipes. However, moving my gardening posts, will spare you from having to watch the life of a hyacinth in still photos (and yes, this is a post I am planning for the gardening blog) unless you are keenly interested in gardens. 🙂 It also provides me with a format to highlight some other determined gardeners using virtual tours and share tips for gardening in extreme climates.

How many blogs does one girl need? Well, aparently at least one more! Later this month, I will launch Covert Teaching. Some of you are already aware that I am a homeschooler, although I rarely talk about it here. I will use Covert Teaching to share some of the fun and inexpensive methods I use to educate my children. The blog will follow my youngest child, beginning with preschool at home.

Do you blog in more than one place or have you found a way to integrate your varied interests into one blog?

We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later!

    I cannot wait to read your new blog 🙂 We also home school and I'm eager to get a peek at what you are doing.

    Congrats on all your blogs!

    I only have one, and I'd better keep it at that since I have to be self-disciplined about earning a living because I work freelance. It would be easy for me to spend "too much" time blogging…

    I can't wait to read Covert Teaching! I hope you also share some of the great ideas you've used for keeping high school fun — we, like so many others, are at that time of year when school is hitting the "blahs"!

    I started my Loose Ends blog as a place where I could just post a recipe or idea without embellishing it into a post with a pretty story. I link back to those posts all the time, and Loose Ends also has a comprehensive recipe list in the sidebar.

    And I also have an invitation-only weight-loss encouragement blog with just a few readers and contributors.

    And – get this! — Just a couple weeks ago, I turned my almost-13-year-old daughter on to blogging! We started a journaling unit in school, and she opted to do hers in a blog. She's writing such great little vignettes about life. This one, too, is invite only…keeping her insulated from the outside world as long as I can!

    How many blogs DOES a girl need?! I think one more will always work out!

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
