Growing your own food is an incredible, empowering, could even say life changing experience.
But try starting small, rather than planning a whole farm like I did…

Attended a free beginner’s brewing class one evening last week at my local homebrew shop. They were friendly, knowledgable, very thorough, and offered a 10% discount on a starter kit. How could I refuse. Now I’m the proud owner of $115 worth of brewing implements.
I’m hoping to start my first batch-a basic brown ale-this weekend with a friend’s help. It sounds more complicated than I had hoped, but still do-able. We shall see…
I finally started doing this (almost) every morning after several dentists told me I had gum problems which I couldn’t afford to fix (still can’t). So I buckled down to the heavy flossing as a cheap stop-gap measure. The benefit is probably negated, however, by my frequent failure to brush before collapsing into bed at night.
