    What did you do in your garden today?

    I went out yesterday and watered the garden. Picked some more tomatoes and removed the peppers that looked like they were toast. Nothing in my garden this year has really been productive except the pumpkins and vining squash. I did get a decent potato harvest though. I'm going to try to...

    🔋 Can You Make It Through a Week Off-Grid? 🌿

    I had the opportunity and money a few years back to buy an actual wood burning cook stove with ovens. I couldn't get to the town in enough time to buy it 😞. Tomorrow or Friday I have to go pick the 2 pumpkins because they won't last until October. They are already bright orange so some pumpkin...

    🔋 Can You Make It Through a Week Off-Grid? 🌿

    I'm wanting to invest in a wood cook stove and cast iron pots and pans. I would love to be able to cook like that. It's just a way of surviving without depending on the grid.

    🔋 Can You Make It Through a Week Off-Grid? 🌿

    Heating is lighting candles with a mirror behind them to generate heat during a cold spell. For the electric I have a generator but I also have my husband's big truck so I'm covered. Charging phones start vehicle for long enough to get a decent charge. The cold we have a pellet stove that can be...

    I'm supplementing them with powdered goats milk, dry dog food and canned dog food. They eat a lot of food plus their mom is still nursing them also.

    What did you do in your garden today?

    Yes. I planted some bean seeds around the entire area that I planted the corn. I'm going to try to get more eucalyptus debris to put on top because the house we had years ago the horse pasture was amazing for growing corn. Lots of eucalyptus trees.

    What did you do in your garden today?

    It rained yesterday and Saturday so I don't have to water for a couple of days. I'm really hoping that the corn does good this year. I would love to have corn from the garden in the freezer at Thanksgiving and surprise the grandkids with it. They love corn on the cob.

    I had to have a guy come down and fix the pump so that I could get the garden watered.

    What did you do in your garden today?

    I planted all of the pepper plants and these stinkin dogs went out and laid down on some of them. GRR. I'm now trying to put up a make shift fence to keep them out of it. I'm about ready to decide it's time to get rid of them all.

    What did you do in your garden today?

    I planted over 30 tomato plants and the majority of them just flopped over. I think it was Wednesday or Thursday. My son went to visit with his long time best friend and he said that he would give me tomato and pepper plants. My husband and I got the tomatoes planted yesterday. Today I will get...

    What did you do in your garden today?

    I had some pepper seeds but didn't know what was what so I put them in a box with potting soil and now I am going to have to find a place for all of them because it seems like everything sprouted. I don't know how many tomato plants are coming up. I also have cantaloupe and parsley. Oh and some...
