Has anyone heard form Kyber? I worry, last we heard from her she wasn’t doing well,(health things and neighbors, moving etc) but that was a long time ago. I understand “busy” or moving on to other life phases, but the mom in me is worried. I’d really like to know shes ok and happy at her new homestead. anyone??

I know in some cultures, they were quarantined in a “women’s” hut/tent etc. considered unclean etc. but they also had a great time in there hanging with their girlfriends. it’d be nice to have that week “off” each month.

DH is reading Patriots, and is now getting more “on-board” than he was. (not that he wasn’t, but he kept telling me I was going to far) Yay, maybe we can get some of the more specialized items. PPE etc. It’s funny ’cause he keeps telling me stuff “honey, I just read about -Insert LONG drawn out explanation on something-” my response “oh you mean a…[Read more]

more poor grow station needed more holding power that duct tape. the “walls” fell down. 🙁 I gotta get a staple gun, that should hold it) so when I re-do it, I’ll eave space to get in and out. 🙂 (Yes I’m acting Pollyanna here, ‘s my job)

Here’s some pics of my new “grow station I rigged up in the basement. I think it will work for many things.
this is the outsideAnd here’s what I could get of the inside.
I’ll have to use “kid power” to get it watered as I can’t get in there. (OK I could crawl in under the tables too, but they LIKE that sort of thing) now… what to plant. 🙂 -

How do you can chocolate??? lol -

Empress replied to the topic Hydro-ponics anyone?????? in the forum Growing food indoors 11 years ago
Ever heard of “aqua-ponics” my parents are really excited to try it. you hook your hydro- plants up to a fish tank, the fish water feeds the plants, and the plants clean the water. Then you eat the fish. There’s a guy down the road from us who has a set-up and he demonstrates, by DRINKING the water that’s recycling back into the fish tanks.…[Read more]
