The midwest  this winter of 2009 around Christmas Day had a very bad snown storn and the roads were dangerous.  There was freezing rain and fog also. We got snowned in on Christmas day. I never thought that would ever happen. We were ready. I had a turkey in the freezer & all the Christmas dinner ingredients ready. We had our Christmas dinner and our presents by ourselves and we were ready and prepared.

You can garden and save your seeds  year after year. These seeds can be saved and they will last from 3-5 years.

Please enjoy the 2010 garden season and have a "Blessed Gardening season".

FRESH FOOD FROM SMALL SPACES

THE SQUARE INCH GARDENER'S GUIDE TO YEAR-ROUND GROWING, FERMENTING, AND SPROUTING.

BY R. J. RUPPENTHAL

This is the book for people living in apartments, condominiums, townhoused, and single-family homes. You will be able to grow 20% of your own fresh food using the combination of traditional gardening methods and space-saving techniques such as reflected lighting and container " terracing". Those with access to yards can produce a garden in their backyard or fit it into their landscape.
The author, R. J. RUPPENTHAL worked on an organic vegetable farm in his youth, but his expertise in urban and indoor gardening hs been hard-won through years of trial and error experience. Readers will learn how to transform their balconies and windowsills into productive vegetable gardens, their countertops and storage lockers into commercial-quality sprout and mushroom farms. The space could be no more than  a cramped patio, balcony, rooftop, windowsill, hanging rafter, storage area, but no space is too small or too dark to raise food.
This book is very good for the times coming when there will be high prices and shortages. The book tells you how to sprout  grains, beans, wheatgrass, & salad , make yogurt, kefir, & fermented foods and much more.

Plus you also get MARY'S HOMESTEAD  "STORAGE HANDBOOK", which contains, Home Storage, Menu Planning, Canning, & Gardening Guides, Canning Yields for Fruits & Vegetables.
