Get rid of the cable tv completely. Check out your local library for Video/DVD of tv shows and movies. Also, if you are on highspeed internet, there are websites where you can watch your favourite shows for free. We got rid of cable (as in we have NO tv channels at all) about 6 years ago -...

I don't generally mind the rain and sometimes I really love it, but it's the end of May and I am ready for a little sunshine. I have to be fair, the rain seems to have cleared up andit is just cloudy now.

I'm north of the border from you, BBH - Vancouver, BC.

There is a great article in the current Mother Earth News on housing.

Chucking with rain! I guess we don't call it the wet coast for nothing :(

You can't go wrong by using raspberry vinegar.

Today was a somewhat productive day (during naptime) - I started 36 parsnip seeds, 9 pumpkin seeds and 16 cucumber seeds and 11 basil seeds in peat pots. I have a feeling by the time I am finished, my kitchen table will be covered with seedlings. I still have a bunch of plants that I bought...

I found a place in MA that you can order it from: http://www.emporiumnaturals.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=27 If you have any local soap making suppliers, they may carry it.

Look what I just found. They are offering a free sample - good for Canada and the USA. They have a little survey to fill out. https://verveultra.com/catalog/

Hi Gina, I use it as a substitute for rice (especially if I cook without meat, as it is a complete protein) I have also taken to making Tabouleh with it instead of bulgur wheat. You can also throw it into soups and stews, etc. I've sort of made the recipe in this link, Ihave added more...

I just went out and had a look at my garden and there are signs of life with the Quinoa. Little sproutlings randomly poking up along the rows. Hooray!

I suffer terribly from these. Everytime I injure the inside of my mouth it turns to an ulcer (canker). Crusty bread and potato chips are big problems, so I avoid them, but sometimes, I end up biting the inside of my mouth and then I know I'm hooped. Once I get one, I get a bunch. My last...

I just looked this recipe up (I have the book from the library and it is due back today :( ) Page 699 If if it is kosher to post the actual recipe, let me know and I will do so.

I have 3 chickens. Rosie - ISA Brown, Gussie - Australorp and Juanita was sold as an Araucana, but she is most likely an easter egger. Gussie is sitting on 7 blue fertile eggs that we got locally. I'm looking forward to seeing how the Quinoa goes. It is supposed to be easy to grow and drought...

Well, it seeems that I have made the transition from urban chicken lady to urban quasifarmer having dedicated my front yard to food production. This being the case, I guess it was time to actually have a journal of my own. I've never been much for gardening. Animals have always been my thing...

Have a look at this article. http://www.motherearthnews.com/Organic-Gardening/1980-03-01/Taters-in-a-Barrel.aspx

I live in Vancouver, BC (aka: the wet coast) - just a couple hours north of Seattle.

So we just managed to finish turning over as much of one half of the front yard as we had decided upon. Part of it still has grass and we decided to get the exposed stuff turned and planted as soon as possible. What a hard job. First hurdle - the tree on the boulevard outside of our property...

I do believe this is what you seek
