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...
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...
I haven't read all the posts so I dont know if anyone else already posted this-

They have a couple of others, too.
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...
Hahaha... we have a large snake living in the cellar, so no mouse problem there! But you DO want to locate the snake before loading up your arms on jars of food LOL
Wow, I didnt see this til now, I'm sorry. Right now my girls aren't laying, of course! lol But when they do lay again, it'll be $10/dozen, but I am not sure of the shipping yet- it keeps going up, and I dont know what it'll be when they begin to lay again. Sorry!
OOOOoOooooohhhhhhhh..... she is EXACTLY what I am wanting in a milk cow, but I bought Friesian sheep this year instead! the sheep were a little lower on the list than the cow, but I found the sheep first. Well, I'm sure she'll get a great home, she a beauty :)
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...
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...
Can they grow in a dry climate? Our humidity levels are around 9% Could I put the hardwood and plugs in a plastic tub, keep the lid on it, and keep it dark, cool, and moist?
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. :)
I prefer "self sufficient" over "prepper", but call myself both lol.... people just get really weird looks and think youre a total nut if you call yourself a "prepper" LOL Basically, I dont worry about what's going to happen, but I do think about it, plan for it, and talk to my family and...
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...
