The garden is calling me today.....so this
will be short and sweet! :D
Plant Something: I have had many
packages of seeds sitting around for years!!
This year I finally got
them scattered into egg carton lids just to
see if any of them are any good. LOL. Some
are VERY old....I just could not bare throwing
out a seed if it was good. Also I have green beans
and hollyhocks sprouting that I planted.
I also planted cucumbers, zucchini and
spaghetti squash all indoors, too early
for outdoors....
Harvest Something: Sadly
not this week. My good intnetions were
to take a bouquet of herbs to my son's
on Mothers Day....but I forgot!! :(
Preserve Something: Not this week.
Reduce Waste: Reclaimed this
thrifted basket that was broken, fixed
it with bows and am now using it for my
sewing basket...works great!
Preparation and Storage: Starting over with our baby chickens.....
preparing to have eggs!
Community: Our community does not really have a food storage system....but
we do have a couple of shelters. This week
made cornbread and cookies to send for the meal.
Eat the food: Eating our pickles,
applesauce, peach butter, giving away
jam and fruit butters....using my
sourdough starter for pancakes
and biscuits. I think just about
every meal last week came from
our food storage.
