There are Too Many Camping Tents to Choose From….

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Right now I am on a roll to do research into which camping tent I want to buy. I already mentioned in a previous post I want to buy either a tent or a canopy to enjoy my back yard… and to keep the bugs away. I still am very interested in buying a canopy, but after some thought, I think a better investment would be to purchase a tent first. That way I can use it as a tent and a canopy… if I buy the right tent!

I have been browsing different websites for affordable tents including Target and Amazon, but it seems my favorite tents are a part of Walmart’s Ozark Trail line of camping gear or are available at Walmart. Even though I know the kind of tent I am looking for, I am very surprised by how many tents there are to choose from!

I Have a New Basil Plant!

Published on by essieofwho1 Comment

A few months ago, I went shopping for my groceries. On that day, they had new plants available to purchase. Some of those plants were herbs.

I browsed them and liked how healthy they looked. I wanted to buy another basil plant for months, but I debated if I should purchase one again. I normally buy my plants from a Walmart I normally shop at, but for the past few years my plants have died due to issues with fungus and bugs. (I think it has to do with the location of the Walmart to nearby farm fields.) Since I have issues with these plants, and the grocery store had really nice, healthy plants, I decided to buy a basil plant from the grocery store.
