In the garden.

After much debate and figuring up what we had at the old place which I took care of that we would do the same here. I did insist on 90 % being either in pots or in above ground square foot gardens. I do need to figure out the cost of building the beds (we have a few left) and dirt.

I did a 5 day class of growing food for the year and was able to figure out how much to plant of what I NEED to grow myself. The rest I will buy either from Amish or farmer markets.

This week since I am still recovering from the high cortisol and have now slide in to the chronic fatigue part I am just doing the planning of the garden and ordering seeds. I also ordered some plants I can't get around here and haven't done well trying to raise myself.

How is things going with you?
Blessed Be
