Well I was starting something this year that I have never done. I went to the Mother Earth News Fair in the fall and bought some seeds to grow over the winter. I had never done that before and their seminars that they gave showed ways that even an elementary student could do it. Why not me? I am always after fresh lettuce and herbs in the winter. So I found a little place to grow them that would be out of the way and I got my seeds all ready.

I should have put them in last month, but I procrastinated, or truly I was busy and I didn't do it but as they say, it's never a wrong time when you are doing it this way. So this pseudo Homesteader is going to put them in and see how it turns out.

Just about this time of year my hands to start getting a little bit itchy to be back in the dirt and I to have Lessons Learned under my belt. I have always put in more than I can eat, but I noticed that my neighbors are always looking very hungry, so it's an easy Pass over. Of course, I really do like my neighborhood because if they grow too much oh, there's a basket of yummies at my front door when I open it. Usually comes in the form of eggplant or tomatoes or even melons. Something that is so prolific that you can't imagine how you got so many by just planting a dozen plants. I have learned over time that a dozen plants will feed a village. I can't eat flowers but you know darn well I plant a bunch. There's just something so relaxing, going out there and plucking off those deadheads like they were errant children. Not the child services were called on me.

Anywho, I hope you are having a wonderful day and that life is treating you well!
