How I did it
How to have a huge garden this year and handle my harvesting better!
It took me
8 months
It made me
better/happy

How I did it: We built raised beds to help with the weeds.  I wouldn't garden without them now.  We checked with the local farmers as to what would grow and what wouldn't.  We polled the family as to what they wanted to grow and went to town to get the seeds.  I learned how to harvest everything better and am fully stocked on canned and frozen goods now and am looking forward to eating them this winter.I love the sage tea I drink th… Read how I did it…

How to make up the flyers!
It took me
1 day
It made me
hopeful

How I did it: I typed it all up in MS Word, inserted the pics, emailed it to myself and printed them up at the folks house.  MM is going to go and post them at the local cafe and the convienant stores around our house.  Hopefully, we will get some responses and get some more money coming into the house.  Read how I did it…

How to I want to leave this world better than I found it.
It took me
45 years
It made me

How I did it: I have learned from my mistakes.  I have tried to do things better.  I have, in turn, tried to pass those lessons on to the children that were that were awarded me (as I like to think of them).  I must say that the ones that were born to me, my eldest I should say, that has got the short end of the stick, so-to-speak, because I was so young and such a HUGE idiot when I had the opportunity to have the biggest influence on he… Read how I did it…

make safety belts in school buses mandatory!
Maybe... 1 week ago

we should start some kind of action like: no one pay a ticket for no seat belts until they are standard issue in school buses! Everyone in my family ALWAYS wears one. I know my idea wouldn’t work but doesn’t it seem wrong that they can issue you a ticket for not wearing one when millions of kids are loaded up every day into buses and transported all over the place without one thought of their safety!

Have a huge garden this year and handle my harvesting better! (read all 10 entries…)
Well, we did our final harvest, 1 week ago

cleaned out the beds. We still have some peppers coming and some squash. I don’t think they will mature before the cold snaps. It has been a great garden for us. It helped heal my heart and soul and fed our bellies well. I learned how to can and look forward to all the goodies we will enjoy this winter. All that is left is to get the manure in the beds for next spring and someone will have a great garden next spring. I will never forget this experience.
