Yesterday, I have spent several hours pulling out the weeds from the vegetable garden, I do not want to use any kind of chemical. This morning I have dug the garden beds to loosen the soil and early in the afternoon I have added...

Lynn Proctor @LadyDuck The woman I mentioned to you, Ruth Stout, the "pioneer" of the mulching method lived in Connecticut, which is on just about the same latitude as Switzerland. Freezing winters, often soggy springs and summers were what she discussed in her books,...

I almost wrote a quick post on here yesterday... But perfectionism got the better of me. It won't get me today. Sometimes you've just got to force yourself to get started and see what happens. Many times I end up writing...

Lynn Proctor @gabeturner I will have to check out Word Streak. Thanks for the info. Hope it doesn't require a fast computer. I used to play Boggle, and my friend gave up on me with that one, too. I'm too fast. Not bragging, honest.

I have only seen 2 discussions lately about the earnings being frozen. I noticed this a few days ago and kept thinking maybe I wasn't doing enough but I have had quite a lot of comments and responses coming back to me and my...

Lynn Proctor I don't watch my earnings, so I wouldn't be the one to check with. : )

"It's boring." I hear this from online writers of social sites who think that what others say isn't often very interesting. Can we bring back something that we have lost? Several years ago, I wrote for one of the first online...

Lynn Proctor @bagarad Very true! Thank goodness for YouTube! But I have also found some very instructive articles when I have been searching for stuff, and I guess there is room for both articles and videos.

Sweet potatoes are so easy to grow. I have just watched several fascinating videos on it. They grow anywhere, and are very hardy and productive. They come in purple, orange, gold and white. Also, red. I am trying to see if I can...

Lynn Proctor I understand that the leaves are sold in Oriental markets, too, and are sold as a vegetable. I wonder why American markets don't sell them? In watching the videos, growers just tear out the vines and give them to the chickens, or put them on the compost pile....

Lynn Proctor Why not overplant? A mongoose can only eat so many, and that way you might have some left for yourself. Also, plant in different locations. When we plant in a "garden" we ask for trouble, as everything is in one place. I can think of a dozen places on my...

Lynn Proctor Today, when I was at the health food store, I saw some "garnet" organic sweet potatoes. I think they were $2.89 a lb. Guess how many made a pound. Yep. One. Well, I can't afford to eat something that expensive, so I am going to let it make it's shoots, and I...

Lynn Proctor I am looking forward to trying sweet potato leaves, too. I hear they taste like spinach. I love spinach, so even if I get no potatoes, I can eat the greens.

Lynn Proctor While I would like to grow potatoes, I think my soil is too sandy for them. I live near the beach, and I will be lucky if I get sweet potatoes, which are supposed to have sandy soil. But I would be happy with even baby sweet potatoes, if they don't grow too...

Lynn Proctor They said that there is little inflation right now. I think they lie. Prices in the store are ridiculous, and year after year I watch the price of everything (especially food) go up. I cannot afford fresh fish any more, so must buy a little frozen. Beef is...

Lynn Proctor There are dishonest people everywhere, and they think nothing of taking your money, with no intention of paying it back. What kind of an investment was it?

Lynn Proctor Although they deny that hormones and other chemicals have any effect on us, how can they not? While they are restricted as to how much they can spray on food, what about all the sprays that are collected in the dirt year after year? It is absorbed through the...

Lynn Proctor Most tilapia is imported from China and is farm raised. God knows what they are fed or what they are soaked in. I wish they would just knock it off.

Lynn Proctor I don't think Canada is quite as bad as the U.S., but it's not far behind, especially since it imports much of the produce in the U.S. in the wintertime. Of course, with fresh food, such as fruit, you will never know what is sprayed on them. I understand that...

Lynn Proctor And now, so much of our fish is farm-raised on GMO corn and GMO soy, that is what we are eating in the fish. Wild caught I understand isn't always what it appears, either, as they bring it in sometimes into fattening pens for a short while before it is sold. I...
