It’s that time of year to get our seeds bought, started inside and where and what to plant for the new year of 2014.

Here is the list of seeds we are going to plant in our garden in Utah Zone 4.

We have to amend our clay soil and usually we have dry summers that needed consistent watering.

See other postings on this site for Soil amending, seed starting indoors and onion planting, etc……

I also planted my garlic cloves last fall and they are doing well and we planted onion starts of Copra yellow onions and the Red Zeppelin Onions. I like these two varieties because they are good in storage onions in the winter months.

I will be starting and planting inside the tomatoes and peppers at the end of this month. They will be big enough by the end of May to harden and then plant outside.

I still need to get my seed potatoes to plant:

*Yukon Gold
*Red La Soda
*Pontiac
*Russets

I usually plant my potatoes about May 20th.

I bought our seeds online from Anderson’s Seed and Garden

Easter is the time of year we think of past memories of the Easter Season and what it means to all of us.

We are going to use these on our Easter Dinner Table. We are going with a brown chocolate theme along with woodsy Spring Decor.

Felt Chocolate Scatter Bunnies

Supplies for 8 Felt Bunnies

*4 9×12 inch Sheets of Brown Felt
*Bunny Pattern below
*Straight Pins
*Scissors
*Sewing Machine with Brown Thread
*Stuffing Tool
*8 Plastic Grocery Bags, each bag cut into 4 pieces, 1 bag per bunny

Print out and cut out bunny pattern.

Pin pattern onto felt, and cut out 16 bunnies a bit larger than pattern.

Pin together 2 felt bunnies, sew around edge using the sewing foot on the sewing machine as your guide, leaving an opening in the bottom to stuff with plastic grocery bag.

Stuff pieces of 1 bag one at a time into the sewn bunny until firm and then sew closed the opening.

Clip off any edges that poke out irregularly.

Use any color of ribbon or jute and tie a bow around the neck of the bunny.

Repeat until all bunnies are sewn, stuffed and decorated. You could also use a small Pom Pom for the tail and hot glue it on.
