    Birth control in a EOTWAWKI situation?

    I hope this is not too blatant- I worked in the medical field for 11 years and have no shame, it's all factual to me, so I try to keep in mind that other people are easily offended by things that dont phase me. One thing that I worry about most for myself and for my sisters and SIL is...

    Who among you has defended the United States in Uniform?

    My brother served USMC for 5 years, mustered out in 2008. He isn't hand-on involved in our prepping because he's in a different state, but he encourages us (his sisters), agrees with it all, helps us come up with ideas, and has made his plans to get his wife and inlaws safely to our ranch when...

    Cooperation among your neighbors?

    Where I live is a community of about 200-300 people, most of whom are related to each other in one way or another. The majority of us are also Christians, though of several different religions, and most of the family "branches" in town are represented by at least one woman at the weekly Tuesday...

    How many pounds of produce?

    We are not limited in space, and have very little room for stating plants indoors. I want to build a greenhouse, but it's a ways down the list of projects lol The maps say we're in zone 5, but it's actually zone 4 if you go by temps. Our last frost date is June 10, first frost is Oct 10, and...

    Cold sore?

    I dont really know what sort of sore it is that I get, they only pop up when I eat some foods that have tomatoes, chiles, or jalapenos in them. Once the food touches my lip, it may or may not cause tingling, then small bubbles, then big blisters. If I take a benadryl as soon as I feel the...

    How many pounds of produce?

    I just dont want to plant too much of one thing and not enough of another LOL Our growing season is so short, there's no chance to fix mistakes. Plus, we'll need enough to last over the winter, and we eat a LOT of fresh produce all summer, so we need to plan for that. :)

    How many pounds of produce?

    The tomato bushel=lbs info is exactly what I'm looking for, thank you so much :) As for the seeds, I grew up doing that- an old farmer nearby taught Mom, and she taught all of us kids. We havent done it as much in the past few years because we haven't been gardening too much, but know how...
