another crazy windy day here.....lost power for awhile
looked through the recipes and discovered that i hadn't made Rice Crispy Treats
yet this year.....here is our recipe.....just a bit different.
3 Tbsp butter
1 package of marshmellows (10 oz)
2 tsp vanilla
6 cups of rice crispys
melt butter in a pan on stove.......add the marshmellows and vanilla....stir until creamy....add rice crispys and whatever else you desire......nuts, dried fruit, m & m's, chocolate chips.....stir it all together.
spread onto a cookie sheet....we lay waxed paper down first.....HELPFUL HINT......before you smash it flat with your hand or spatula......rub butter all over it and then nothing will stick.
the plants are growing well in the greenhouse....we don't use any kind of heating system......just let the Sun warm it up during the day and try to control the temperature inside by opening the door, window and roof vents.....the actual air temperature at night has been in the low 30's on average and during the day is has been in the mid to upper 50's on average
in the mornings it is about 40 degrees inside the greenhouse, during the day it can get into the 100's if I am not careful.....and a few hours of that can wilt / kill some of the plants......I try to keep it about 80 as an average and so far I have been able to do that each day. FULL DISCLOSURE....we do have a ceiling fan and a fan in each peak of the building to suck out the heat if it gets too hot to control....we haven't needed to do this yet.
....so I head out to the greenhouse each morning to water the plants....then I return a few times each day to open or close things to regulate the temperature.
when I planted the flats....I put a seed in each end of the individual container.....so once they get a bit bigger, I will replant them into another container...so if you figure that each flat could be doubled...that is 20 - 28 flats at about $10 each......before the greenhouse we would buy 10 - 14 flats a year of veggies and flowers.
so far this year....I invested in a bag of planting soil and a couple envelopes of seeds...under $7....I would say that we are coming out WAY ahead on this deal!!!
got some chili out of the freezer and had chili dogs for dinner
Pleasant Dreams!!!
