Woo Hoo!! Saturday's the Day!!

Well, I've got the tiller reserved for Sat. from 10 am to 1 pm.  It will be the first day in the garden this year.  At $20 per hour, we will have to get as much done with the tiller as possible.  This old grandma lives on soc. sec. so that's a LOT of money to me.  I'll take pics and post them in here so you can all see them.  We are going to try some different things this year than we did last year.  Back to basics will be the main theme I think..  I'm getting excited.  Time to get my mobility scooter charged up as it's a couple of miles each way to the garden and back.

Can't Wait

Hi Folks,
I've been pretty sick so haven't had our family meeting yet.  I think we will rent a tiller soon to start gettting the ground worked up.  I can't wait.  Need to see some things growing.  :)

More Sweet Potatoes??

We haven't had our formal garden meeting yet, but we have talked a little about planting waaaay more sweet potatoes this year. They make an excellent survival food. They are easy to store in a root cellar or basement, or you can can them. They are high in nutrition. As a child, I even liked to eat a piece of sweet potato raw.. :)
