Enjoyed the video!
My husband and I had to add new soil to all our flower beds, had it delivered from a garden store from across the Hwy. from us, Free delivery, and we live 20 miles from the nursery capital
( lots of Plant nurseries) our 6 packs
Of seeds was $2 each for 6.
We have 2 raised gardens, got tomatoes 🍅 bell peppers 🫑 eggplant 🍆 6 ea. Planted green beans on the outside of the raised box and we have a trellis for them,
The smaller raised bed has okra and white squash, seeds are up, for green beans, squash and okra. Sowed directly into the garden.
Have lots of flower seeds coming up in the beds, I traded some of mine with others. It’s fun!!
My front flowerbed across the house is 108 feet across, it’s curvy.
The back is 72 feet long, all knockout roses 🌹 🌹 , they are in full bloom, loaded! Wish I could send a picture. My poor husband Bobby worked so hard to get everything done. He’s cleaning the siding all around the outside and the porches now. That man is such a hard working man. 60 hrs. A week at his job and all this other work around the house! Love my our home, love our gardens, I guess we love hard work and a beautiful yard! Blessings to you all!!
Irene your gardens sound amazing! How wonderful! They are a joy for sure! You have a wonderful weekend!
We r debt free. If ur retired & tryin 2 live on that limited income is a must.
So true Andrea!
We are keto now, due to OH diabetes issues. So our budget buys recently included a whole grass fed rump that we cut up into steaks and pieces for stew. Also sliced some and made beef jerky, it was really good!
Oh that's a great idea Helen! Stretch the beef into many different meals!
Lovely video, mixed bag! Look forward to seeing your seeds grow, it's so satisfying, isn't it! 😎👍🇬🇧
It really is Loraine! Thank you!
Liked the planting of tomato seeds can’t wait to see them get germinating! Loved the recipe! Ty for sharing
So happy you enjoyed the video! Thank you!
I love the egg carton greenhouse idea! Very cool!
Us too!
I love your mini greenhouse idea...so clever!
Thanks so much Jenn! 😊
Thank you Paul, glad I finally finished this video, as I noticed I hadn't finished it. I just had my cooperative extension mail me information on getting started on gardening this spring. I got a big package my mailbox.
Fantastic!
I new Dixie was a star....I just smiled and smiled....how did you get her to wear them! Great grocery haul, you find the best prices.....that strawberry bar almost had me drooling....I feel so bad for Paul, always the guinea pig 🤗 great tip with the egg carton....thanks for another informative video.....
You are so kind Carolyn! Thank you! Dixie is a Diva at heart...she loved the glasses lol!
I finally got some good meat clearance today. I love your grocery hauls

I always enjoy the grocery hauls! Love the plans for the squash❤️ Great video❤️
Thanks so much Peggy! 😊
Hello Emmy and Paul.
Thank you very much for your lovely videos. I subscribed quite a while ago but this is the first time I have left a comment! I love your videos. I am very interested in the American way of life. I have visited the States many times and just love it. I live in Scotland in the U.K. but I am Irish.
Love and best wishes, God Bless
Maureen xxx
Maureen so happy you commented! Thank you! God bless you as well!!
I don't believe it I started my tomato seeds 2 weeks ago in egg boxes just like you . They didn't all germinate I have 16 plants growing! This is the first time for over 10 years I have planted , fingers crossed. The strawberry oat bars look scrummy!
Oh how wonderful! Gardening is such fun! Thanks Jeanne!
Your channel is refreshing and enriching. Thank you for sharing all you share with us. God bless you both.
Thank you so much! God bless you too Glenda!
Thanks for sharing Emmy and Paul 👍 & Dixie looks so cool in shades 😎❤
Dixie is a Diva and she knows it LOL!! Thanks Bex!
Love the everyday feel of your videos. Not some crazy scripted life, “just” you sharing your normal days with us. Feels so cozy and real. Not sure how else to say it!!
I totally understand! As you can see by all the bloopers we are totally "us." We wing it as we go LOL!! Thank you so much for the encouragement!
been a while since I've planted seeds before but man, that's all that comes in the packet? would've have thought I've gotten ripped off. might have to try that oat bar recipe, looks good. tried that ham cheese slider the other day and it was delish! thank you always
Yes, that was it! Maybe they are some kind of super special tomato that we don't know about...lol! Glad you enjoyed the sliders!
❤️. Binge watching your videos. They are so fun and informative ❤️
YAY!! Thanks so much!
HI Emmy and Paul! I am binge watching your videos while baking today. I got an over abundance of eggs so I'm try to use them up. Anyway, this video played and I thought your Strawberry Oat bars sounded good. I had all the ingredients to make them sugar free. OMG. They are delicious! We are trying to cut sugar out of our diets and are trying to be gluten free so I used Truvia brown sugar and Pyure instead of the sugar. I used an almond, flax and coconut flour blend instead of the flour. They are still warm and I have been sneaking a bite here and a bite there. I hope they will last for my husband to have some! LOL I will definitely make these again!
Oh how wonderful Tammy! So happy you enjoyed them! Thank you!
Strawberries are ready this week here in Arkansas. Now I’m extra excited to get my hands on some.
Sounds great Morrisa! Thanks for watching!
This video was absolutely awesome as you guys were just where I am now in the time frame of planting seeds for re-planting....we are also in a short growing state - Minnesota! It just snowed today AGAIN! :) So I have about 6 weeks to plant! Very good video! Thank you for the DIY egg-carton planter! Awesome idea--I also using the bottom of a plastic milk jug with holes on the bottom! :) Blessings to you guys! Stay safe and HEALTHY! :) (Selfishly, I want to see more videos! :) Dawn @ Rich & Dawn in MN :)
LOL! Thanks so much Dawn! You are always such a blessing to me!
I have strawberries to use and I'm going to make those bars. Yum!😊
Hope you enjoy them Jill! Thanks for watching!
Maybe the potatoes were seed potatoes 🥔, haha 😂. If you put a peeled potato in something with to much salt the potato absorbs the salt/sodium; when we “helped” mom cooking sometimes we used to much salt, oops. Tri-purpose potatoes: eat some, plant some and use one to lower the sodium in marina sauce.
So true! Potatoes are so versatile! Thanks so much for watching Kenyon!
Hi there! Greetings from south island of new Zealand. Just picked my last strawberry yesterday. Moving into autumn here. Recipe like an apple crumble. Really enjoy your videos. Thank you both.
Thank you so much Sarah for watching!! Enjoy the beautiful change of seasons!
Awesome video thank you.
You are so welcome Steve! thank you!
Dixiebelle looks like a movie star!!!
My little girl Diva LOL!
Really enjoying your channel! It's almost like watching a weekly tv show with great tips. Thank you for all the time and energy you put into these videos!
Wow, thank you Christine! Your encouragement is appreciated!
I always look forward to your videos, the strawberry oat bars look delicious 🍓
I love seeing your bowls, plates and pans that you use in your videos-they’re colorful and fun like your personality💕🌺
Thank you so much 🤗! Love the new avatar! I see your family! YAY!
Great video Emmy. I hope you & Paul are well! I too stock up when items are on sale. I really like your Strawberry Oat bars. I would probably tried with Raspberries or Blueberries too! Also, for the tip on starting seedlings in a plastic LOL egg carton. Never thought of that before & need to try it. Thanks.
Thank you so much Carol! So happy you enjoyed the video!
Emmie, I made the Healthy strawberry oatmeal bars, exactly like the recipe, and added cinnamon. The crust turned out perfectly (like bars) and it's delicious.😊
I will make this often!
I did cook them a few minutes more, around 45 min.
Oh perfect Jill! Glad you enjoyed them!
Dawn, Money Mom, recommended your channel. New subscriber.
Welcome!! So happy you are here! Thank you!
Great video as usual 😊❤️
Thank you!! 😊
As always, great content. I’m always on the lookout for all the types of tips you share and learn from every single video. P.S. you challenged us many videos ago to try to make our favorite restaurant dish at home; well last night I made homemade pita bread, with spiced chicken and a variety of toppings: cilantro, parsley, cucumber, tomatoes, grilled&raw red onion with a tahini/lemon sauce. I have never made home made bread before. Had a great time making the food and eating it with my husband. Love being frugal AND enjoying life!
That sounds so delicious! GOOD for you!! Love that!
I did the 3 sisters garden last year and it worked out great! Hope yours does as well also!!
I hope so too Mis Fit! So glad it worked well for you!
Hi emmy
It's my birthday today 17th April
What better present than to see dixi in sun glasses
Have a wonderful weekend
Sending lots of love xx
PAULA!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Giant virtual hug to you on your special day! Enjoy! Hope your day is truly blessed!!
Emmy how nice of you thank you so much
I had a wonderful day
My daughter made me an afternoon tea which was lovely
The sun shone all day so we were in her garden and summer house
So a really special day
Look forward to seeing you soon xx
Hi Emmy just to say love your channel and dixi belle is an absolute star! Being a tea drinker try ringtons teabags and other teas you can get them from Amazon! Sending blessings from Aberlady East Lothian Scotland x
Julie thank you so much! Thanks for the tea suggestion! Will look into it!
Loved seeing Dixiebell in her summer shades ... so cute.💜💜💜 The fresh stuff is always what get us back to grocery store as well. Hubby is a veggie person so gotta keep him happy and healthy. Enjoyed the video. Have a fantastic weekend. Be blessed.
Thanks so much Karen! Yes, can't wait to grill some veggies again!
I planted 45 containers of vegetables. They're doing great.
That's wonderful Bonnie!! I'm not sure how many we have...we still have to start the pumpkins and squash.
Another good one Emmie. Love Dixie Belle as always. Your egg box green house looked great. What else do you use/ recycle in the garden. Have a great day/week.
Just a couple of ideas... we recycle nylons to stake plants, we use small styrofoam plates or containers to keep pumpkin or squash from resting on the ground, we compost...
I just love watching you guys! I learn so much and love the way that you explain things slowly and in that down to earth style of yours. Sure wish we were neighbors! ❤️😁
Keep up the great work!
Lisa what a lovely thing to say! I agree! Thank you!
Loved the pupper in shades.
Thanks so much Anita!
Happy Spring, Emmy and Paul. Loving the weather! Everything is starting to bloom here....Roses, Lavender, Citrus and Cherry tree blossoms, etc...bees buzzing and birds laying eggs. I did start some bean, pumpkin and sunflower seeds last week in egg containers too. Lazy me is buying plants for other veggies/herbs/flowers though.
Thank you for another awesome video. Looking forward to seeing your yard and vegetable garden as it progresses.
Happy Weekend....😃☀️🌻🐝
Happy weekend to you as well! It was so cold here yesterday. 1 hour north of us got 4" of snow! UGH! LOL!
@@FrugalMoneySaver Oh..hoping it warms up sooner for you. Supposed to be in the high 80s this week...Allergy though...ugh. Wish I could message you a pic of all my blooming roses, lavender and azeleas..gardenias have buds already too.
I do think you did a clip last year of your yard and it was beautiful....🌷🌷🌷
I do plan on baking for the freezer soon....muffins, cookies etc. I don't bake when it gets hot....don't want the oven to heat up the house...
Paul looks more comfortable in FRONT of the camera....whether it Tasting Food, DIY or Deck Work....Tell him GREAT Job!!!!
I am sure Paul and Dixie are gathering more subscribers....Peeps like wholesome family videos.
Hi Emmy and Paul. You know that Dixie is the star of your channel. I started my seeds in mid March. I thought I was so clever “ inventing” those repurposed greenhouses. I also use lettuce, strawberry containers as well and save the cardboard egg cartons. My problem that I have is that I forget to label what I had planted. I’ve been repotting my seedlings into bigger containers and the majority of my seedlings are still inside. I did plant my kale, lettuce, radishes and beets and started a potato container garden. Space is at a premium for my garden so I am plastic repurposed containers, poking holes and attaching the pot on my wooden fence using zip ties. Putting in mesclun greens in there. I was so happy to see 2 broccoli rabe plants ready to harvest. Enjoy this time.
Oh my gosh I love Broccoli Rabe! I never thought to grow it! Thanks so much!
I'm getting ready to start my seeds. Bought a small greenhouse this year. Can't wait
Wonderful! Oh let me know how it goes! Thanks Lorrena!
Omg Emmie-- the escarole and beans so reminded me of my parents. They loved the simple, healthy stuff.
LOL! That's the type of food we ate growing up. Very simple and rustic!
I'm planning to get some seeds/plants soon. We are low-income and qualify for SNAP benefits which can be used to buy seeds and plants (must be for vegetables or other edibles such as herbs). We've done the three sisters method in our community garden when we lived in Arkansas and it did well. I forgot how often you have to check that squash. Miss a few days and you have a baseball bad-sized squash before you know it (that is terribly inedible). But I bet if you had it in your own yard it would be easier to check it each day. That summer I had a young, very active toddler and found out we were expecting #2, so I didn't make it over everyday becasue, mom duty comes before gardening, I guess. But our garden was very fruitful and we were able to not only feed ourselves, but our church (where we planted the garden) also used much of the produce to supplement our soup kitchen ministry.
Jennifer that must of been some garden! How wonderful!!
Especially stock up if its something you use often.for me,its coffee.when its on sale,i stock up.its always folgers,maxwell house,sometimes hills brothers.i buy 4 to 6 cans on sale.already budgeted for.every month.same with creamer,and my diet sugar.tea,i have tea for months.
Rochelle exactly! Saves money!
I’m going to try the bars with blueberries. Enjoyed your video.
Thanks so much Sheryl! Got your lovely thank you! It was very thoughtful of you!!
Wow..congrats. I just noticed your channel is growing like spring plants....10.7K subscribers and 1.6K
views on the video alone so far. 👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much Sheryl 😊! We are so thankful!
💖
Thanks!
I’m also a big tea drinker! I haven’t tried Tetley but I’ll look out for it. Amazing haul, makes me hungry lol
I love my tea! Thanks so much for being here Emily! Thank you!
Truly a blessing!!!!!! Love it all. You can not imagine how much you motivate this frugal wayfarer!!!! Going to start some seeds this week. Our growing season sounds much like your, short. Want a jump start, for sure!
YAY! Mary so happy you enjoyed the video! Thank you!
Dixie intro for the win! I love cracker jacks, too!
LOL Deborah...Dixie wants her own runway show!
Love your videos Emmy & Paul. U'r such a lovely normal couple living a great happy & frugal life. Enjoy ur strawberry bars!!
Thank you! That is so kind of you to say Margaret!
I went to ShopRite today and bought escarole for the first time because of you! $1.49 for a large head. I thought that was a good price. I added some to homemade chicken soup tonight for dinner. I enjoyed it. I'll follow your lead and sauté the rest as a side dish. Thanks for your inspiration! Have a great weekend! ~ Chris
Chris sometimes it will go sale for .99 but that's rare! $1.49 was a great deal! One of my favorite cooked greens! You have a great weekend too! Thanks!
My man wud nev eat those greens no matter how u fixed them. Yes the produce has been scare & dismal in my area also.
I understand it's not everyone's taste
I am new here and have been watching a lot of your video. I like the variety of your content and helpful tip.
Welcome! Thanks so much Angelia! So happy you are here!
Dixie wearing her shades. lol Great content in this video....as usual! Thanks!!
Thank you Sis!
I just love that little Dixie!! So much personality. Enjoyed the video. Also.. I have used the clam shells that lettuce comes in to start seeds. It makes a greenhouse effect too. Thanks for the video!!
Oh that's a great idea too! Thanks Linnea! Dixie says thank you too!!
Those strawberry bars look amazing! I planted 4 flats of veggie seeds and they are up, have been thinned and I can't wait to get them in the ground. Already put out my onion sets. Love your videos 💕
Wonderful Brenda! You are doing so well! Thanks for watching!
You can also add escarole to your tortolini salad.or use instead of romaine in salads.same with spinach,or kale
You sure can! It's so good!
Wow, our buy something on sale today was a Walmart surprise we found in the back of the store. Big plastic containers of ice melt for $2! They were $8 last Winter. The frugal hot houses would be a great project for home schooling, girl scout projects etc. as well as for us. Dixie is one big hoot. Bon apetit
That is an awesome find! YAY Sandra! If children were doing this project they would definitely need adult supervision when it comes to putting the holes in the bottom of the egg carton.
That Daisy is so cute! As usual another great video!😍👍
Thank you 🤗 Debbie!!
Hi Emmy, thank you
So much for the grocery haul.
You are so welcome Larry! Thanks for watching!
I love this video! Will be trying the green house for starting a few of my plants. Always learning great stuff from your channel
Thanks
Donna thanks so much for the kind words!
Love escarole and beans. And your strawberry dessert looked delicious.
Thanks so much Maureen!
Smart baby Dixie, lovely
Thank you so much Deepa!
Loved this video. I will definitely be saving my egg boxes - the little greenhouse is such a great idea!
Glad it was helpful Jenny! Thanks so much for watching!
I love how informative your channel is. I love the cooking segments and the greenhouse segment was great. Dixie is stylin 😍. Can’t wait until the next video 😀
Thanks so much Karen! What an encouraging comment!
Hey DixieBelle 💋 Another great informative video. Warm breezes from Phoenix. ❤🌵
Good morning Mr. Gregory! Hugs to you from DixieBelle!
💖💖💖 Dixiebelle in Shades💖💖💖
LOL! She is a little Diva!
@@FrugalMoneySaver Ritzi is a Diva too💖💖💖
That's why they are friends LOL!
Dixie Belle is a rock star in those shades! Emmy, I found the Victoria sauce locally here. Oh my goodness!!! I will never use any other kind!
Isn't it the best! When it goes on sale like this I try and stock up! We like to mix it with a can of crushed tomatoes.
Great idea about the seed trays. Loved there week challenge last week. Tried to follow it and actually liked the day without TV. Could use a follow up
YAY! So glad you followed it Ruth! Hope it was encouraging!
The dessert looks amazing!! Definitely trying it thanks for sharing the recipe!
Hope you like it Liz! It wasn't too sweet so that was refreshing!
Dixie in her shades...awwwww! 💓
My little Diva girl! LOL!
Cracker Jack takes me back to my childhood. Life was so simple when I was a kid. I have never seen Tetley tea in Hawaii . Maybe I need to check Safeway. Great video. How was that dessert you made?
So good! It's not sweet at all but bursting with strawberry flavor! Thanks for being here!
I am curious if you ever buy toilet paper or alcohol products, as I have never seen them in your hauls. Are they separate from your grocery budget?
Yes, Ann I do but toilet paper but we buy it in 20 packs usually from Walmart. We don't buy paper towels and only a couple time a year napkins. Do you mean alcohol as in liquor? We don't buy that except maybe for a BBQ party or a holiday.
That's an amazing grocery haul!
Amazing recipe, too. I want to make one with blueberries and then one with raspberries.
What kind of squash are you planning to plant?
I am planting yellow summer squash and a new variety they we saved seeds from called honey butternut! Thanks for watching Jonna!
Strawberry dessert looks good!
It was good! Not too sweet which was nice Luella!
I was wondering how it tasted. I only wish I had windows enough to put seedlings in. Our apartment is very lacking in windows. But maybe one set, so thanks for the inspiration.
❤️❤️
Thank you Kim!
Great video as usual, Emmy and Paul. Those strawberry oat bars look great. And your planting. How fun! Quick question: we only have styrofoam egg containers...can we start our seedlings with those? Thank you as always. Barb
I wonder if you could use like cling film to cover it and make it like a greenhouse? I know if you have the cardboard cartons you can jsut cut them apart and plant in the little cups, as it is biodegradable.
I know you can use the paper ones...good question let me research a bit. You can even Google it too... Thanks for being here!
@@FrugalMoneySaver duh, I didn't think of Google. I'll check it out...and thank you Jennifer as well.
Hi,emmy,paul,dixiebelle.i just got part of my ebay order today.2 more coming from.asia,so might be delayed.its okay.
Hope you enjoy it!
Good morning. I really enjoy your videos. Our library has a seed bank and you can get three packs of seeds a month free. I grow in containers and always looking to expand my growing.
Regarding your recipe, it looks lovely as always. I was wondering if you mixed the corn starch and sugar together maybe it would sprinkle easier for you.
Thank you for sharing.
Oh my gosh you are so right LOL!!! Julie what was I thinking! Thank you!
