How long have you been just sitting on your dream of one day being able to grow your own food? My guest student today waited for 14 years before she and her husband Frank finally sprung into action to create a thriving vegetable garden. Here are a few clips from our recent chat where we break down the steps of their garden build and talk about what it’s like to now be able to pull hundreds of pounds of food right out of their front yard.

If you do have extra vegetables, Meals on Wheel will take them. I dropped them off some surplus before. Happy gardening. ❤

Try dry canning the potato’s … not sure if you have to pressure can them … homesteading with the Zimmermann on YouTube are a great one to follow and watch - learnt lots

Her neighbors are better than mine.

My main beds are in my back yard and not visible to most neighbors, just the neighbor on either side. While I had a few things disappear but in small quantities which my son kept saying it was probably squirrels and possums which I convinced myself was true. 🎉I planted a full raised bed with potatoes and saw the plants were starting to die back and decided I would dig them out that weekend. Saturday morning I went out to nothing but bare ground with the plants strewn about. While I had been at work someone had come and dug up the entire bed. My son tried to convince me it was moles or something but you could clearly see the remaining outline of a shovel throughout the bed. Only one of my neighbors had ever been caught in my yard admiring one of my herb beds previously and from his patio he had a perfect view of my back yard beds. It would be bad if I always blamed him for stealing them and he didn't, but I always felt he had the personality of a thief. Left the beds empty after that until after he moved.

Wish I could do this but my city won’t allow it
