Food for Thought

Hello to gardeners! Great thread, glad to find it. And, I am also one that has stumbled onto H2O2 gardening and will be experimenting this year. Nice to know someone else at avalon is doing the same!

I smile to think that in just the last two yrs I've relocated and now have a large garden, a pond, a spring, well water, a chicken coop going in as I type and a passive solar greenhouse in the making! Truly humbled here as just over 2 yrs ago I was working in a courthouse dealing w/criminal files... arghhh... what a breath of fresh air to be living near a lake in the country! I feel so fortunate and it's been like a slo-mo movie all of this transpiring while the economy is in dire straits & what other myriad things are in the offing in conspiracy & spiritual camps.

Just yesterday I was thinning out the beets, lettuc, carrots etc... it's about all I can do after having fractured at least one rib last weekend... my physical body has me restrained !!!

So, this summer I'll be a canning queen.... will be my first time w/a pressure canner altho I have used a water bath canner before.

It's SO much more pleasant to labor in love w/the bounty here at homeland... not having to pay such a high fee for organic food.

I'll be giving feedback later in the season after experimenting w/H2O2 as we intend NOT to use any pesticides.

Our Rhode Island Reds arrive in a couple of weeks & I look forward to free range eggs. The coop is utter varmint proof but we have a few acres where they can range during the daytime hours...

Have a beautiful day!
