    I am working on water. I have been saving our gallon jugs and filling them up plus buying bottled water. I do need a filter of some sort though.

    Give me a hand please?

    So my goal is shop out of my basement both for me and a few friends who don't have the space at their houses. I'm trying to this very cheaply. I have a decent start on food.

    Has anyone used these before?

    If you don't mind crawling in the ground for them. I did some cages and some sprawled. I ripped the sprawling ones out. I don't like squatting with a big preggers belly to get them. :)

    I'm thinking of dabbling in the farmers market next year.

    I was planing on doing samples and setting up a table baited with some friends who are "trying" them. If people see people doing it they are more likely to sit down. I wonder about cooking the eggs though. I'll have to look into that. Getting chicks the fall so they are ready come spring.

    War with Russia?

    I read all the time. I have started reading during lunch and she has to look at a book too. Plus we do at least two story times a day. I also have her "read" to her sister. She just won't walk over and grab a book to look at randomly during the day. She would rather watch TV which is not...
