Some does and don'ts

After my first year of trying to grow vegetables I discovered the those hanging things are no good for growing tomatoes or strawberries.  Both did not do well at all.  I planted the strawberries in the ground so hopefully I will get some next summer off of those and I know that planting the tomato plants along the front of my house, which faces the south, produces the best crop for those.

I think that I will plant lots of tomatoes next year and make sauce to freeze like I did this past summer. I froze them in individual containers so that I could defrost as needed.  I even did up a second batch with tomatoes my neighbour gave me from next door and they are also gone so I know that it will get used.

The strawberries didn't produce much this year but since it was the first year I didn't really expect too much but I bought lots of boxes and some rhubarb from a roadside vegetable stand and froze them so I have lots left to use over the cold winter months.

I'm not ashamed to admit it...

I'm not ashamed to admit that I have a girl-on-girl crush.  I absolutely love Jennifer Lawrence. ♥  I first saw her in the Hunger Games and since then have seen her in numerous talk shows and I'm in love with her.. sorry Ron.

Her sense of humor is off the chart.  She is so self-effacing and does not appear to be effected by her fame.  I would love to eventually see her in American Hustle because it looks like the part that plays off her natural personality.  And I read the Hunger Games books so I can't wait to see the second movie.
