Seed Starting 2020 | Tomato Varieties We Planted

Seed Starting // tomato varieties planted | On The Creek Blog

I shared our seed starting adventures yesterday & now I want to show you what seeds we planted!

Because we used what we already had, we got quite the variety of tomato seeds: beefsteak, snaking, paste & storage.

I think this is the perfect introduction to planting tomatoes from seeds because of the variety!

I can also see what kinds I like!

Here’s a close up of the varieties:

Seed Starting 2020

Seed starting for the garden | On The Creek Blog

Over the weekend, we started some seeds for our 2020 garden!

Seed starting is something I didn’t think was going to happen this year.

While I love having a garden, I tend to go about it in a more simple way.

We usually buy plants at a local greenhouse at the end of May. It has worked out well for us in the past. It’s easy to choose the best plants & put them in the garden. Seed starting is a different thing…

A thing I guess I’m going to be learning about!

Ace of Hearts Anthurium | 1 Year Update

Tiff ace of hearts anthurium , anthurium 0 Comments

You all seemed to really enjoy my Ace of Hearts Anthurium when I posted it last year, so I thought I’d give you a little update!

I’ve had my Anthurium for just over a year now. So far, it’s still doing great! It’s constantly producing flowers.

Because I still haven’t transplanted it into a larger flower pot, it has been growing upward instead of outward!

The Ace of Hearts Anthurium is my first houseplant, & overall, I think it’s doing quite well!

Making Our First Bed Frame Bench

Here’s the very first bed frame bench we made!

We actually made this bed frame bench several months ago, but I’m just getting around to sharing it today! It’s actually undergoing another makeover right now, so I wanted to share the first version of it!

Last summer, I became obsessed with bed frame benches. I thought they were really cool & wanted one of my own.

I finally found a complete headboard/footboard set that I liked & started building a bed frame bench!

About Me

Welcome to On the Creek: a digital scrapbook of grief, growth, glue guns, and girlhood unhinged.

I’m Tiff, a widowed weirdo turned emotionally feral homemaker. Around here, we mix healing with home projects, delulu with DIY, and grief with gut-laughs. It’s part homestead therapy, part thrifting haul, part soul purge.

This blog is where I turn chaos into cozy corners, trauma into thrift flips, and everyday life into something worth pinning (or crying about in your journal).

Come for the vibes. Stay for the oversharing.
