Ever tried your hand at Gardening?


Ever tried your hand at Gardening? 

Well, neither had we! 
My wife and I used to joke the plant hadn't been made that we couldn't kill! Well, the more we learn about Disaster Preparation, the more vital it appears we should ALL be gardening - even if only in buckets. Apartment and Mobile Home Park Dwellers and Nursing Home Residents, too! Kids LOVE gardening. As a couple, we've found gardening to be a great hobby for bonding!

Think about it: If the Stuff ever did hit the fan, aside from drinkable water, food will be your next most important provision. Dried foods are ok. We have those, too. Beans and rice and canned goods will do in a pinch. But what if you could carry seeds with you, learn to carry your groceries in your shirt pocket, and harvest from buckets and cans, eating, bartering, giving from what you have yielded? (EXAMPLE: One woman said her 24 watermelon seeds yielded 600 pounds of melons!)

This is GREAT! Did you know you can grow a fruit-bearing apple tree or pear tree INDOORS?

Here's a tip: Start your seeds in a cardboard egg crate, 3 seeds per cup. Moisten the dirt and slip the egg crate into a black plastic bag. Place in a dark, warm place (on top of water heater perhaps). After 5 days, it's those 3" seedlings you will be planting... wherever. Full sun, keep moist. 
Tah-dah! You're a Gardner!

This gardening thing is GREAT... 
despite us having "black thumbs."
Plant NOW and never run out of seeds!

Happy Harvesting!
