    Thank you. I had never heard of Heirloom Seeds until I saw them on My Patriot Supply. We tried the raised beds last year and this year, but neither of us have green thumbs. Also, our soil was very depleted. We spent more on trying to get something to grow, then we would have spent on just...

    Try going to the Tattler website to get lids and rubber rings that are reuseable. I love mine.

    We have ready-made food also. The MRE"s that the military use are really good. You can get them at army surplus stores and at gun shows, if you attend them. Our son was in the army; MRE stands for Meals Ready to Eat, or as my son said, Meals Rejected by the Enemy. LOL. But something else we...

    We are not quite homesteading yet, but one thing is for sure. What we have done, has brought pace of mind. Several years ago, we lowered our summertime elec. bill from $500 to $300, and our winter bill from $300 to $50. Just by turning off lights, and TV's not in use, opening windows, using a...

    My husband and I are not good gardeners, so we have finally given up. But one year we got lots of tomatoes. To freeze them, just cut out the stem portion, put in the freezer on a cookie sheet, and when they are frozen, put in a freezer bag. I used these to add to spaghetti sauce, and put with...

    We are in the process of trying homesteading too. We have solar panel, mainly to help with elec. bill when we retire in a few years. But we want to get small solar panels for the pets pens to run fans and heaters. We lowered our elec. bill several years ago by hanging out clothes, and...
