We have been building up a seed bank , and stocking up on some other essentials.
We have cleaned out our freezers in the garage and are starting to stock up on beef and chicken. We still have plenty of pork from the hog we purchased, so concentrating on mostly beef , and some chicken also. I...
Both DW and I have been getting the usps scam texts lately. These dopes are so lame they send texts saying order number what ever is having issues and get ahold of them at some non phone number they give to work it out. I only have to check my online orders to figure out the numbers they give...
@ninnymary, this cart is exactly 4’ wide to the outside edge. That is why the lights have to be in between the legs of the cart and not spread out enough to cover the entire flat. So we end up having to move each flat every day to keep the seedlings growing straight under the lights. Also the...

This is the cart we have now it came from Costco and sold as a wardrobe cart. It has castors and a shelf on top where we stack flats and cell packs and whatever else we use. It is not perfect but it is way better than the homemade one that we used to use. It came with...
We do have a meat grinder, sausage stuffer, and a meat slicer. I also have a brother who has a full meat shop in his garage and all the cut and wrap supplies. We have all the supplies to build a grow out pen here at our house just need a couple weekends free to build it. After this broken ankle...
We have 6 of the 4’ led. 4 of them are full spectrum light , and 2 are clear grow lights. We do not see any difference between the two as far as plant growth. The seed starting cart has T-8 lights that work just fine for seed starting , so no change there.
@digitS' , I resemble that cartoon. I do not feel like my coordination is lacking at all but it seems like I have had more than my share of injuries in the recent past. Maybe I just get discombobulated once in awhile lol:he
PS I would not fare to good working at Bobs.
If anybody needs lumber for projects better get it now, the prices have gone up a lot but I think that they are going to get way higher. We have also been buying the heirloom seeds and building an emergency seed bank that will get stored away for the future. Some of the local slaughter houses...
Here is what we are up against right now
This is getting out of hand quickly
we have flats of tomatoes on the top seed mat and peppers and marigolds on the bottom mat. DW has purchased the led grow lights and is already at max capacity with 6 lights. Also have flats of plants in our sunny south...
I’m a sucker and used to get suckered in to a lot of absolutely worthless yard /garden/and home improvement gimmick tools regularly. I am older and smarter now and do not fall into as many traps as I used to. Does anybody still have the walls o water tomato things? The topsy turvy? Already...
It is a lot easier to sit inside if you are looking out at rain or snow. I way overdid it yesterday and am paying for it today. But it was worth it to have family over for an entire day.
