Happy Easter to all.
Here's a quick picture of the raised beds I built to play in this growing season. Garlic, yellow onions, a little brussel sprouts going (the ones left over after Sissy Goat chewed them) and whats left of the zucchini.
The front garden patch with white onions, carrots, red cabbage and lettuce planted. We haven't had rain since the spot got set and goat proofed. Thought rain was in the forecast for the next day or so but it seems to have changed so I watered it all down this morning, hopefully it will help germination.
A batch of laundry soap needed made so I ground up the bar soap and whipped up a batch. I mix one box of washing powder in with 2 boxes of borax and 12 (4oz) bars of my home made soap. At 2 Tbsp of powder a load of wash, this lasts quite a while and it does a fine job.
Oh, I went to a "preppers/ sustainability" meetup on Saturday and did I ever have a great time! What an awesome group of people I spent the day with! I met a few people I didn't know before, enjoyed some really great discussions, learned a bunch about a few things I didn't know anything about, got to share some of the homesteading experiences I've had with people who understand what I'm talking about, we had an awesome potluck supper and best of all, the people were great! LOL, can you tell I had a really nice time? Every time I get around people like this wonderful group, I feel energized, motivated and just generally uplifted.
Now, what can I stir up and get done for this week????
