Escape from COVID 19, Vegetable Gardening eBook on Sale 99 cents

Touring England--the Cotswolds
with Gardener Ted and JQ Rose

Hello and welcome to the Focused on Story Blog!

We're dealing with tough times amid the CO-VID 19 crisis. I hope you can take some time to relax and escape with a virtual visit to the English Countryside in the Cotswolds. 

In June 2018, my husband, Gardener Ted, and I traveled to England, rented a car and drove around England. This is one of the videos I put together from the 1000 photos from the trip. I have videos of London and the County of Yorkshire also on my Youtube channel. We had a delightful time seeing places we had heard about all our lives. Or as the English say, "The trip was brilliant!"

Please, grab your popcorn and red licorice. Sit back in your chair. Join us as we discover mysterious stone circles, charming villages, miles of stone walls, and ancient landscapes in the English Cotswolds.

Gardening with Gardener Ted and JQ Rose

Quick Tips on Vegetable Gardening:
Starting Your Garden

Gardener Ted and I not only enjoy traveling together. We also enjoy gardening. You can imagine why Ted earned his name as Gardener Ted. This farm boy just has to have his hands in the dirt. So much so, we owned a flower shop, greenhouse and garden center for almost 20 years! He has the gardening knowledge, and I have the writing and publishing experience to produce an eBook for folks interested in gardening.     ➨➨➨➨➨➨➨➨➨

So we combined efforts to share tips on planting and harvesting a vegetable garden. Nothing tastes as good or as fresh, as your own home-grown vegetables.  Quick Tips on Vegetable Gardening: Starting Your Garden is filled with tips gleaned from years of Ted's experience in the garden.

Vegetable Gardening: Reaping the Rewards of Gardener Ted's Labor, Quick Tips on Vegetable Gardening ebook

Hello and welcome to the J.Q. Rose blog.

What a special time of year for people who love veggies. We are in the prime season for gathering in all the fresh vegetables from our garden. This is the time of the year when we get paid back for all that hard labor in planting and nurturing those lovely plants. 

And are we ever reaping the rewards this year! 

Gardener Ted has had the best crop of cantaloupe/muskmelon he's ever had. 

This beauty is 9 3/4 pounds!

The garden is producing lots of peppers and cucumbers. 

We're staying ahead of the zucchini, but how many zucchini cakes can one eat?

We've had some good rains lately so GT doesn't need to water so much. However, he has "Tedgineered" quite a watering system so that he only need turn the faucet on and most of the garden is irrigated without him having to hang on to the end of the hose
The compost pile is on the right side of the photo

Garden entrance here in the center of the photo. We finally nixed the rabbit problem
 with chicken wire buried 6 inches deep around the entire garden.

GT had a hip replacement in February.
The garden is good therapy to get that hip moving and make it strong.

Not only does gardening provide rewards of fresh, healthy food, but it also keeps you healthy by planting, digging and weeding the plot. And I know it is one of the best ways to keep a happy heart.

Are you a gardener? Do you love eating vegetables? Do you have any recipes using green peppers or zucchini? I need them!! Thanks for stopping in.

Summer is winding down, but it's not too late for a delightful beach read from British author Helena Fairfax. She'll take her seat in the Readers Circle sharing her delightful book, Felicity at the Cross Hotel on Friday, August 25. Please join us. We may even have a spot of tea with her!
