About

I started this blog to encourage others to grow and produce what you can. We are living in a tough economy where we are struggling to make each penny count. I'm not a professional master gardner, but I work hard and take pride in what I grow. Growing my own food for my family gives me a big sense of accomplishment, and allows me to know exactly what is going into my family's bodies. I don't use chemicals. I stick to using organic methods and am trying to reach out to the average Joe's & Jane's to provide a place to learn AND share their experiences. So please feel free to comment and share what you may have learned through your own trial and errors, and keep checking back. Happy Homesteading Ya'll

Where's the rain?

Well, it sure has been one hot and Dry summer!! My water bill has doubled compared to last year! (ouch) Well part of trying to homestead is saving money and making your dollar stretch as far as possible and how am I supposed to do that doubling my water bill right? Well, as much as some of us may hate change theres a time and place for change to be a positive and comfortable adjustment, and thats exactly what I'm doing. Doing what you ask? Collecting rain water!! Why not, it's free!! I picked up 3- 55 gallon food grade plastic barrels for $15 each (craigslist), and plan on building my own 165 gallon water collection system for my garden irrigation!! I'll post the pics when its finished.
Happy Homesteading
