great! there are a lot of bean lovers on TEG too so you should have plenty of ways of getting some that will grow for you. if you've not found your local libraries that have seed libraries i suggest searching for those and seeing what's available, plus it is always great to meet local gardeners as they may have seeds already adapted to your soils and climate.
I guess I am. I am north of Muskegon in the New Era area but in Oceana county.
Greetings, I am new, faithful. I rent but as i have a deck and my health has plummeted recently I am very interested in movable container gardening that has bird and rodent deterrents. Herbal medicine is where I am headed to know. I do not have solar tea however, there are a few u could really have fun with. One you walk and charge your phone at the same time. I do have some small solar lights on deck for safety as I have had unannounced nor invited visitors. I have never lived off grid. I really need help with my eyes. Bird mites or rodent mites came down from bathroom vent and there is a mite in my eye. You would be surprised how much this affects your life. I have been to two opticians and an opthomologist. I think the steroids with a small antibiotic included may have not been the best prescription. So, I thought herbal. Get it done. Learn from bounty of nature and here I am, ever sincerely faithful. Thank you. I am a little scared.Please note: answering these questions are optional.
