Growing Onions-Small Accomplishments ;o)

Okay so this was my first year growing onions. I bought a package of seeds and well planted them all.lol I ended up with 200 onions. They turned out rather small though. I'm not sure if it is the severe weed problem we faced all year, the heat, or the poor soil. Something, or all 3, but my husband used some in salsa last night and he said they added great flavor. Today I will be picking all the onions that are ready and chop them up. They will store long enough for me to use them in all my dishes :O)

Homemade Fly Traps

We all love summer but as the weather gets warmer the flies get worse and worse. We have a bush out front of our house that I swear just attracts every fly in town! I wanted to get rid of them but I didn't want to kill all the wonderful butterflies it also attracts. So I went about finding a new way to kill them all. I had some empty Tazo tea bottles I simply poked a pen sized whole in the top, added 1/2 cup of water, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of dish soap, and 1 tablespoon of syrup.Now I do find that these work better if you place them in the sun :O) If you want to use a bigger container simply multiply the ingredients. Make sure your hole is only about the size of a pen cap! Then they can't seem to get back out.lol
