A Season of Abundance

Good rainy morning from Georgia! Hope all is well with everyone and to anyone that watched the big game last night, great game, right! I was rooting for the 49ers, they came up short---big Congratulations to Kansas City! Great game guys! 

Honestly, I don't have anything to really post about, it's raining here in Atlanta and tax season is here, so I won't be spending my whole day cleaning my house(if you saw my quote of the week post, you get what I'm saying), I'll be gathering all my tax documents so I can get taxes out the way and get the focus back on brand building and growing an abundant garden and to keep growing an abundant mindset, as well. 

Take care guys and keep growing!

The Excitement For a Few Sheets of Paper

I literally I recently recorded  a YouTube video with a topic of using reusable/recyclables in gardening and how it carries your garden budget a long way. I spent time explaining each item I shared and how I use them. In the video, I spoke about how I used to make these newspaper cups early in my gardening adventures. Newspaper cups for me, a  new gardener, provided an abundant amount of  seed starting cups for a new and very enthusiastic gardener to take on a new hobby and eventually gained a useful skill.

The cups were practical and environmentally friendly and that's all I needed to fall in love. All I had to do was plant a seed in the cup with some good seed starting mix, water, good/enough light and wait for the growth, and when the plant were ready to live in the garden, there was no need to remove the plants from their home, just place the cups in the garden and allow them to biodegrade into the soil.  

It was win-win for my budget and the soil. 

Using these cups as a growing method for years, I never thought they would be out of my repertoire, but they did. As newspaper prices rose, my purchases of them slowly declined which ultimately turned into no more purchases, I went strictly digital.

Clearing out the tons of paper, I collected over the past year, I found these couple of pages from a local paper in my area(I honestly don't know where this came from) and my first thought was-I'm gonna make a couple of newspaper cups.
