So you remember the Kerby's list of things to do this summer right. We've got to add another one . . . not just blow bubbles, but make ginormous bubbles. We created a bubble adventure in our backyard, with some simple household ingredients, a kiddie pool and some imagination. Some of the biggest bubbles came from two sticks with a string tied in a circle. It was easier to get the bubble away from you and really stretch it out. We also had a kiddie pool filled with bubble solution, and using a hula hoop we made bubbles that went completely over the kids. (It didn't quite work on the adults.) They were definitely some of the biggest bubbles I've ever seen.

Dragon Fruit Make sure you keep your bubbles away from this night-blooming cactus. It's the dragon fruit and it is delicious. If you freeze the fruits, you can scoop the sweet flesh out and have a home-grown icee. The sweet flavor is wonderful, and the fruits are really cool (they look like something out of Dr. Seuss!) Plant where they can grow up a tree, or some sort of wooden support structure and enjoy this unique fruit in your own backyard. |

Bone Meal Bone meal is a clean source of phosphorus that encourages strong root systems and great blooming. It can be really helpful on tomato plants mid season to keep the blooms coming and it is also a great way to encourage strong plants in your butterfly garden. Because lots of flowers = lots of butterflies. |
