When I first started writing, I’d never heard of indie authors. So when I found out that I could write a book AND get it published without waiting for a publishing house to pick it up…well, needless to say, I was excited! Its tough writing and publishing for yourself. You have to find your own editor; create your own cover; figure out the publishing and formatting differences for all of the distributors you want to use. And you have to promote yourself, which takes more time that you might think. Even though it’s hard work to be your own publisher, I’m still glad to be a part of an elite group – indie authors. Let me give you a few reasons why:

Did you know that today is National Sea Monkey Day? Me neither. Whenever I’m having a hard time coming up with a fun idea for a post, I hit the Holiday Insights website and check out what random “national” day it happens to be. Today I had a choice between Wear Purple for Peace day, Love a Tree Day, or National Sea Monkey Day. Obviously, the best choice was apparent right away! I mean, come one, they’re sea monkeys!! Lovable, cuddly little monkeys that grow right before your eyes. Yes, I’m aware they’re not really monkeys. Someone felt the need to ruin that for me many years ago, but I can pretend, so pretend I will!

So, I got this brilliant idea in my head that I want to try camping, but the weather refused to cooperate and then I had surgery. Alas, I still haven’t made it into the great outdoors for more than a few hours, and definitely not overnight yet, but I’m still working on it! In the meantime, I can pretend that I’m camping with an awesome fire pit! This outdoor fire pit comes from The Soothing Company, an online retailer, that offers large bean bag chairs, wall fountains, gel fireplaces and more. My 29″ Fire Pit does way more than just sit there looking pretty with a roaring fire inside of it, it also grills food! Do all fire pits do that? Honestly, I couldn’t tell you. It seems like an exciting feature to me! When I’m done playing Little House On the Prairie and being all outdoorsy, it folds up nice and neat into a sturdy carrying bag.

Container gardening is becoming a huge trend, and with good reason. Whether you live on acres of land or in a small apartment, it gives you a chance to grow your own vegetables, fruits, and herbs. Plus, it’s so easy that even a black-thumb like me can pull it off. I’ve been wanting to learn how to grow tomatoes and other goodies for a while. I figure if the EMP ever does hit, it would be a good idea to know how to grow my own food! Of course, there are other reasons to grow your own vegetables, but I’m a “worst case scenario” type of girl.
Growing Tomatoes In Containers – A Simple Guide For A Bountiful Harvest by Elizabeth Danielson, is a practical, easy-to-follow guide that will have you growing your own tomatoes in no time. Danielson covers everything from choosing the right container and finding the best spot to set up to the different types of tomatoes. I had no idea there were so many different kinds of tomatoes! Determinate, indeterminate, dwarves, Tiny Tims and Patio Princesses, and on and on.
Danielson doesn’t just leave you hanging once you’ve figured out how to put your seedlings in a container; Growing Tomatoes in Containers stays with you straight through harvesting your ripe fruits (vegetables? Is the verdict in on that one yet?). The book even tells you how to avoid nasty pests that want to munch on your plants, and diseases that affect tomatoes. On the flip side, Danielson shares some good bugs that actually help your plants grow and tells you how to attract them. She also includes a section on companion plants that help repel the nasties and attract the good bugs, like chives and oregano. Bonus- those herbs go great in pasta sauce!
Growing Tomatoes in Containers concludes by helping you clean up your containers at the end of the season and pack them away for next year. If you’re looking for a great, quick and easy guide that will have you growing your own tomatoes in containers within hours, I highly suggest checking this one out. You’ll be eating fresh tomatoes in no time at all.
