Beginner’s Garden Guide: Growing With Faith & Confidence Printable

Published on March 7, 2026February 24, 2026 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog1 Comment

I’ve been meaning to do this post for a while, but like always, LIFE keeps happening, and things I want to do get put on the back burner. I’ve been setting small goals as I’ve talked about in previous posts, and working on things a little at a time until they are finished.

The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.

-Genesis 2:15 KJV

There isn’t one perfect way to start a garden, but I do have a few tips to help you get started. That’s the most important part… just get started! Remember, you aren’t stuck unless you STOP! People have been gardening since the beginning of time… it really doesn’t need to be super complicated, unless you make it that way.

I do plan to make a more detailed guide that includes permaculture principles, but this is a super beginner friendly guide to get you started.

This weather has been wreaking havoc across the country, and our area has not been spared. Florida has been seeing some historic lows, snow, and some areas south of us have even been experiencing colder temps than we’ve had here at our home… CRAZY!!! The winds have also been pretty rough and have caused a bit of damage.

If you are looking for links to the garden products… go to the bottom of the post!

Then the groundhog said that there’ll be six more weeks of winter??? Well, we took care of that groundhog… just kidding, but we did have a good meal to celebrate Groundhog Day.

Polar Express 2025

Published on December 20, 2025 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog2 Comments

We hope and pray you are all having a blessed holiday season. This post is a little later than I had wanted due to some computer glitches. Thankfully, the problem has been remedied, and I can share some of our Polar Express updates with you.

Once we got to St. Nicholas Day, we got the tree up… it is a little smaller and simpler than usual, but it works perfectly for us right now. Then it was time for us to focus on the upcoming Polar Express Party, our Bethlehem dinner, Christmas Eve dinner with our traditional eggnog making party, and then Christmas Dinner, and planning for our family that will be visiting.

We had our Polar Express Party on the 2nd Saturday of December, as this seems to work out best for most people. We did not have as many people as we had expected, but it was a lot of fun. This has been an annual tradition that we try to keep for our friends and family, and some were able to experience it for the first time this year.

St. Nicholas Day 2025

Whew! This year is flying by at warp speed! I completely forgot to update you all about our St. Nicholas Day this year, but I did post a video on YouTube that I will post below.

We let the kids make their own Santa Pancakes with fresh fruit and whipped cream… yummy! We also had a few things in their stockings, as well as a few little candies. We read the book, ‘Saint Nicholas: The Real Story of the Christmas Legend.’ I will link it below.
