Mail Call on May 24th

Today I only got one thing in the mail, but it's a good one!

It's a Vegetable Planting Guide from Burpee that I got for FREE!

(If you click here this where you can order it.)

I'm not really sure where I saw the link for this originally, but I know that there's a post about it on this awesome blog, Balancing Beauty and Bedlam!

I'm really excited about getting this today because I want to start growing my own food asap! I love to garden, and my family is pretty low on cash these days, so being able to pick some food from the garden and serve it that night is a great option!

This guide has information about:

He was so cute, I love turtles.
