Baking Eggshells for the Garden and Your Chickens Here’s a simple guide to turn your eggshells into a useful supplement for your garden and chickens. Steps: ① Rinse your eggshells to remove any egg residue and let them dry completely. ② Spread the dried shells on a baking sheet and bake at 200°F for 30 minutes to sterilize them and make them brittle. ③ Grind the shells to your preferred size: fine powder for the garden, or small coarse pieces for chickens. Uses: 🪴 In the Garden Sprinkle powdered eggshells around plants like tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants to provide calcium and prevent blossom end rot. Add them to your compost for extra nutrients Use coarsely crushed shells as a natural deterrent for slugs and snails. 🐓 For Chickens Mix the crushed eggshells into your chickens’ feed as a natural calcium supplement to support strong eggshell production. This easy process is a sustainable way to recycle kitchen waste and provide valuable nutrients to both your garden and your flock. #CountryLivingConnoisseur #FarmingAfter50 #GardenTips #ChickenCare #EggshellsInTheGarden #BackyardChickens #SustainableLiving #NaturalFertilizer #OrganicGardening #HealthyChickens #FarmLife

Our Chicken Coop Pizza Party Was a Clucking Success! This weekend, we hosted 20 amazing students at our home for a chicken coop-building pizza party! 🍕🐔 It was such a fun day filled with teamwork, laughter, and the satisfaction of creating something meaningful. By the end of the day, five sweet hens (most of them with special needs) officially had a new place to call home in the city! If you’ve been following along, you know we’ve been excited about bringing chickens to our Knoxville nest. Yes, we did need a license to keep chickens in the city, but the process was surprisingly easy. Now, our girls are happily settled into their new digs—a shiny, spacious Omlet Eglu Pro chicken coop with a walk-in run—and they seem to love it! Why I Chose the Omlet Eglu Pro - Durable and Predator-Resistant: Made with sturdy materials, it provides excellent protection for my girls, even in the city. - Walk-In Run: The 9-foot walk-in run connects directly to the coop, making it easier for me to check on the hens without bending or crouching (my knees thank me!). -Easy to Clean: With pull-out trays and a smart design, keeping the coop fresh is a breeze. -Comfortable and Secure for Chickens: The insulated design is perfect for all weather conditions, keeping the hens cozy year-round. - Expandable Options: Omlet offers so many add-ons and customization options to fit your flock’s needs. Omlet doesn’t just cater to chickens—they have incredible habitats and supplies for rabbits, guinea pigs, cats, and even dogs! Right now, they’re offering an amazing sale: 20% off through Black Friday. I’ve never seen a deal like this before! Head to my bio for a link to check it out and treat your pets to something special. We couldn’t be happier to have our little flock right here in the city. A huge thank you to our students who came out to help us make this dream a reality—your kindness and energy made this day unforgettable! #CountryLivingConnoisseur #FarmingAfter50 #UrbanChickens #OmletEgluPro #ChickenCoopGoals #PetLovers #ChickensInTheCity #FarmFreshEggs #BackyardChickens #SweetBombdiggityFarms

#FarmSunday Devotional: Living a Glorious Life Scripture: Ephesians 1:11-12 (The Message) In our journey through life (young and old), we all seek understanding of who we are and what our purpose is. We often turn to self-help books, attend workshops, or turn inward, hoping to uncover our true selves and life’s meaning. Here’s the Good News…the search for meaning and purpose in life are over! In Ephesians 1:11-12, The Apostle Paul gently reminds us that our true identity and purpose are found in Jesus Christ. Paul says: “It’s in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, he had his eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone.” Imagine a master artist who, long before picking up the brush, sees an incredible masterpiece in their mind. Just like that, God imagined and crafted a unique design for our lives, inviting us into a journey of “glorious living.” This isn’t about a life free from challenges (far from it!) but it is one filled with meaning, direction, belonging, and a deep sense of purpose. The beauty of this divine plan is its includes everyone. God’s weaves each of our stories into His master plan. By nurturing a genuine relationship with Christ, we begin to see ourselves through His eyes—cherished, purposeful, and important to His work in the world. Take a few moments to reflect on this profound truth. Our ultimate purpose goes beyond personal achievements or what society expects of us— it is a deeper opportunity to reflect God’s glory in our own unique ways—-Glorious living that God has designed! Embrace your identity in Christ and let His love and purpose guide your steps. Now that’s BombDiggity!

The Hardy Begonia: How to Harvest and Plant the Bulbils Fall is here, and it’s time to revisit those fabulous Hardy Begonias I mentioned earlier! If you’ve been enjoying their dainty pink blooms all summer, now’s your chance to make more. Let’s talk bulbils! These are the tiny baby bulbs that grow where the leaf meets the stem (called the leaf axil). In late fall, you’ll notice small, round, dark brown or black bumps. Those are the bulbils! They’ll usually drop to the ground on their own, but you can gently pluck them off if you’d like to plant them intentionally. Here’s how to propagate them: 1️⃣ Where to Look: Check the leaf axils, where the leaves attach to the stem. Look for those tiny round bulbils. 2️⃣ How to Collect: Gently pluck the bulbils when they’re firm and mature (they should come off easily). 3️⃣ How to Plant: Scatter them where you’d like new plants to grow, ideally in a shady or part-shade spot with rich, well-draining soil. Cover them lightly with a thin layer of soil or leaf mulch. 4️⃣ What Happens Next: These bulbils will settle in over winter and start sprouting into new plants come spring! It’s one of the easiest propagation methods out there—nature does most of the work for you! Share the extras with your gardening friends or let them spread naturally. Now that’s BombDiggity. #gardeningtips #gardeningadvice #hardybegonia #perennialplants #fallgardening #propagation #plantpropagation #countrylivingconnoisseur #farmingafter50

Tried out my new Hisea Mid Calf Boots today for farm chores, and I have to say, they delivered! First impressions? Love the handles, they fit my calves perfectly, and they actually have arch support — a big win for my flat-footed self. My feet stayed warm and dry, even in the mud. 🌧️ I’ll be honest, I wish I had sized down (I’m that person who’s always in-between sizes), but a thick pair of socks works like a charm. These are quality boots — comfy, durable, and the price is hard to beat. If you want to snag a pair, check out their site at www.hisea.com and use code BombDiggity for 15% off! Some women collect heels and purses; I collect overalls and farm & garden boots. These are an excellent, warm, and dry addition to my collection! 👢 #FarmFashion #FarmStyle #BombDiggityLife #HiseaBoots #FarmChic #FarmingAfter50 #CountryLivingConnoisseur #FarmTested #FarmGear #GardenEssentials #BombDiggityBoots

Bombdiggity White Chicken Chili: Comfort in a Bowl When the temperatures drop and the evenings get longer, it’s time to bring out those recipes that warm you from the inside out. This Bombdiggity White Chicken Chili is one of those perfect, comforting dishes that combines creamy, spicy, and savory flavors in every spoonful. It’s packed with tender chicken, hearty white beans, and a cozy blend of spices that just might make this your new favorite chili recipe. Whether you’re making it on the stovetop or letting the slow cooker do the work, this recipe is flexible enough to fit into your schedule. I love how versatile it is, too—you can add extra heat, adjust the creaminess, or thicken it up if you prefer a more stew-like texture. And let’s not forget the toppings! I like to set out bowls of avocado, shredded cheese, sour cream, and lime wedges, so everyone can personalize their own bowl. Why This Chili Is Bombdiggity • Creamy Comfort: The addition of cream cheese and sour cream gives this chili a smooth, rich texture that feels indulgent without being too heavy. • Flavorful Heat: Between the jalapeño, chili powder, and a dash of cayenne, this chili has just the right amount of kick. • Perfectly Flexible: Make it thicker, make it spicier, or add your own favorite toppings. This chili adapts to whatever your heart (and taste buds) desire. This white chicken chili is a family favorite around here at Sweet Bombdiggity Farms, and I’m thrilled to share it with you. Try it out, cozy up, and let me know if it becomes one of your favorites too! INGREDIENTS 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1 medium yellow onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 large jalapeño, seeded, if desired, and chopped 2 teaspoons ground cumin ½ teaspoon smoked paprika ½ teaspoon chili (or Chipotle chili) powder ½ teaspoon ground oregano ½ teaspoon ground coriander Dash of cayenne pepper or ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional) kosher salt and black pepper 1½ pounds boneless, skinless, chicken breasts or thighs 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth 8 ounces of cream cheese, at room temperature ½ cup sour cream 2 (15.5 oz) cans of white beans, drained 1 cup salsa verde 1 (4.5 oz) can dice green chiles 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese ½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped avocado, cheese, and sour cream, for serving lime zest and juice, for serving Optional ingredients for a thicker soup 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons flour 1 cup milk 1 chicken bouillon cube INSTRUCTIONS Stovetop Method Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, jalapeno, cumin, paprika, chili powder, oregano, coriander, cayenne (if using), and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook 5-10 minutes, until very fragrant. Add the chicken, then stir in broth. Season with more salt and pepper. Partially cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Pull the chicken out and shred using 2 forks. Stir in the cream cheese until smooth, then stir in the shredded chicken, white beans, salsa verde, green chilies, sour cream, and cheese. Cook 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted. Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro. If needed, use butter, milk, and flour tips below. Ladle the chili into bowls. Top, as desired, with yogurt/sour cream, cheese, avocado, cilantro, and green onions. Zest lime over each bowl. Eat and enjoy! Additional instructions for a thicker soup: An hour before serving, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Once the butter melts, whisk in the flour. Whisk constantly, until the flour and butter brown lightly and thicken. Then, slowly whisk in the milk. Add in the chicken bouillon and continue to whisk as the sauce cooks and thickens and the bouillon cube breaks down for about 5 minutes. Remove the saucepan from heat and pour into the chicken chili. Slow Cooker Method In the bowl of your crockpot, combine the onion, garlic, jalapeno, cumin, paprika, chili powder, oregano, coriander, and cayenne (if using). Add the chicken, then stir in 6 cups broth and cream cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 4-5 hours. Shred the chicken using two forks. Stir in the white beans, salsa verde, green chilis, pepper jack cheese, sour cream and cilantro. Heat on low for another 30 min. Add optional thickening ingredients as listed in stove instructions and stir until combined. Ladle the chili into bowls. Top, as desired. ---------------
BombDiggity White Chicken Chili Recipe
I just made a batch delicious roasted tomatillo salsa that’s perfect for my upcoming chicken chili recipe! I actually grew these tomatillos in my garden sort of by accident – I hadn’t planned on them, but they surprised me with a bumper crop. They’ve become a happy addition, and I’m excited to share how they bring a little homegrown flavor to this salsa! 1️⃣ Start by prepping the tomatillos: remove the husks and give them a good rinse to get rid of that sticky coating. 2️⃣ For roasting, lay them on a baking sheet with some onion pieces and minced garlic (or whole cloves if that’s your style). 3️⃣ Pop them in the oven at 400°F for about 15-20 minutes on a high rack until they’re nice and soft with a bit of char. 4️⃣ Once they’re roasted, blend them up with the onions and garlic. Add a pinch of salt, a handful of cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice to bring out that fresh, zesty flavor. You can keep it smooth or leave it chunky if you like a little texture. Give it a taste, adjust the seasoning, and if you’re feeling adventurous, toss in a jalapeño for a bit of heat. This salsa is perfect with chips, over tacos, or stirred into chili, like the chicken chili I’ll be sharing soon. It’s such a simple recipe, but the garden-fresh tomatillos really make it special! #CountryLivingConnoisseur #FarmingAfter50 #GardenToTable #HomegrownSalsa #FarmFreshFlavors #Bombdiggity #tomatillosalsa #tomatillo

Save Zinnia Seeds for Endless Blooms! Want to grow your own beautiful zinnias next season? Here’s a detailed guide on how to gather and clean seeds from dried flowers in your field! 🌸 Step 1: Look for zinnia blooms that are completely dry and crunchy. The petals should crumble easily when touched—this means the seeds are fully mature and ready to harvest. 🌿 Step 2: Gently pull the dried petals apart. At the base of each petal, you’ll find an arrowhead-shaped seed. Carefully separate as many seeds as you can. 👐 Step 3: To clean your seeds, place them in a shallow bowl. Lightly blow on the bowl to separate the seeds from the chaff. The lightweight chaff will blow away, while the heavier seeds will remain. Make sure to blow gently to avoid losing the seeds! 🌞 Step 4: Spread the cleaned seeds on a paper towel or tray and let them dry further for about a week. This ensures they’re fully cured and won’t mold in storage. 📦 Step 5: For long-term storage, keep your seeds in a cool, dry, and dark place. Use labeled envelopes or airtight jars with silica gel packets to maintain dryness. Proper storage can keep your seeds viable for several years, giving you more chances to enjoy beautiful blooms. Harvesting your own seeds is a wonderful way to preserve your favorite zinnia varieties and keep the beauty blooming year after year. Have you saved zinnia seeds before, or do you have any tricks to share? Let me know! #countrylivingconnoisseur #farmingafter50 #seedgathering #zinnias #zinnialover #gardeningtips #gardeningadvice #flowerfarmer
