This week I traded seeds with my neighbor. She had some zucchini, cucumber, and squash seeds and I gave her some pea, eggplant, and lettuce seeds! I think we both made out pretty well!

I got these little gems from the pound shop today(dollar store?)
They're not fancy, or top quality but they work. I've had them out of the packets and for an emergency they will work just fine.
These are for a little BOB I'm putting together to keep in the shed.

Planted tomato plants, moved blueberry bushes out of pots into raised bed, cleaned out strawberry plants, thinned blackberry vines, trimmed mulberry bushes, cleaned out and readied lettuce bed for planting (tommorow) checked and rotated out some food supplies that were getting close to expiration date, drained and refilled water storage shuttles ( 2 250 gallon "totes")
BTW good find winnie
If by what I have learned over the years, allow me to help one person to start to prepare. If all the mistakes I have made, let me give one person the wisdom that allows them to save their life or the life of a loved one in an emergency. Then I will truly know that all the work I have done will have been worth every minute.
Hey,, Those are cool ! I have never seen anything like that at the dollar stores here,,,,Originally Posted by Winnie
Man, Winnie!! They don't have that kind of stuff in OUR crappy dollar stores! That's a GREAT find!!
I got me a travel Berkey water purifier. It came with 2 black purifiers that purify 2.5 gallons per hour and 3 personal water bottles with filters! We did the math...that little thing will purify enough water for us all (family of three) to get 1 full gallon of water a day, for 3 whole years if we needed it! How cool is THAT?

I also installed the first of 4 waterbutts(rainbarrel?). It's a well known brand (Ward), I got it really cheap, £18.50 including the diverter! Now all I need is some rain

Grilled burgers. The first of the season. Man were they good.
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound lean ground beef
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
½ tablespoon liquid smoke flavoring
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
seasoned salt to taste
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat a grill for high heat.
2. In a medium bowl, lightly mix together the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke and garlic powder. Form into 3 patties, handling the meat minimally. Brush both sides of each patty with some oil, and season with seasoned salt.
3. Place the patties on the grill grate, and cook for about 5 minutes per side, until well done.
Today is my wife's birthday. We celebrated last week-end so it's just the two of us today. We attended a presentation where one of my grand daughters won 1st place in an asthma poster contest. She won $100 saving bond, which is pretty cool. Then we watched the other grand daughter win their softball game.
I just finished a piece of Italian creme cake and ice cream. To die for.
All in all, a pretty darn good day.

Deaf and blind would be so much easier.
Ahh, look at 'em grow! These are my peas from my survival garden. I planted them back in February and they are coming up fantastically!!!
Picked up a variety of seed for storage.
Got the garden tilled I'm waiting to plant for another week. Had a bit of a frost last night.

We just had a frost last night. nothing in the ground yet due to late cold weather and work on the shack. Guess that would be considered a prep too.
I did get some hay bales organized for a raised bed garden. They've had a good soaking for a week now. I'll plant this weekend.
KYR, could you post a "How To" on straw bale gardening in this thread? Trabitha was asking if anyone knew.
