It's Spring. Can I start to grow now?

For some who aren't quite sure about having a garden, I highly recommend this gardening documentary as a place to start one's information journey.  As much as I have read (and personally experienced) over the years, THIS documentary actually made me stop, ponder, and acknowledge the sense it made.  Of course, nothing is applicable to everyone all the time, so it's well worth the investment of your time to examine other resources.  There are many ideas in the world of container gardening that can be done on a small OR large scale.   I have found a plethora of ideas and suggestions in the  permaculture world.

If one is contemplating backyard chickens, you can just bet there are TONS of suggestions on how to build or buy whatever your heart desires. Who knew there was so much to learn about eggs?   They've even figured out how to keep chicken poo out of their water.   This was my education in how to process chickens by Joel Salatin.

Does it sound tempting to build a smoker and give meat an unmistakable flavor?  Have you gone paleo or decided that you'd like to limit your contact with fluoride?  A 14:41 Youtube video comparing water filtration systems.  This is the solution I chose for everyday use.  And a little use of toothpowder further reduces the fluoride from your body.

At one time, people were actually encouraged to do some things for themselves.

Times sure have changed, eh?

We really can make a difference in our own lives. One seed at a time.
