Goodbye Garden 2009!

  • Posted by Susan on October 13, 2009 at 12:31 pm

In the middle of last week, we said goodbye to the garden. The kids helped me pick the remaining tomatoes. There were quite a few green ones! So we have lots of green tomatoes, little and big!

Maggie’s tomatoes are amazing– they are striped! I have never seen a striped tomato before! They came from heirloom seeds our friend gave us this spring. Amazing!

I have always wanted to cook with green tomatoes– I am excited! The southern girl in me (southern Wisconsin, that is) is doing a little dance.

Erin McSparron is the entrepreneur behind Slings and More. She designs and constructs baby slings, car seat covers and towels for babies. Everything she designs is innovative. For instance, she makes baby slings made of netting material for carrying baby while swimming.
Every sling she makes is custom made and she is extremely helpful when determining the size of the sling. You get exactly what you want — my husband surprised me with my new sling about two weeks after our youngest was born.
She delivered it to our home. It’s beautiful! It’s green, well-sewn, with little practical touches like a zipper pocket in the sling’s tail and a sturdy loop to attach a pacifier or toy (I fastened my keys to it!). Another nice thing about the sling is how adjustable and comfortable it is. Erin provides videos on her website showing several methods for using and putting on the sling.
We highly recommend her business! She is wonderful and the sling we have from her is skillfully designed and constructed.
