Compost outlaws, means, you make the compost in the bath tub and take a shower out on the front lawn, behind the
“no compost” protest sign.

My man here if from Maine. He says when we find our new place that *he* is planting blueberries. He says he’ll dig a pit and haul in the soil for ‘em. LOL - if we get to that point I’ll keep you posted.<<<

When you find your new place, plan on blue berries going in a cool spot....

There will be someplace, a gully or ? where it is a few degrees cooler.

In San Diego, for years, I bought flats of blackberries from a lady, whose father had planted them years before, he had cut a bank and they were in a canyon, on the shelf, where it was a few degrees cooler and they would grow.

I am not going to ask for this thread to be closed, but in the future, all the new posting will have to be on the new thread.

When a thread has as many large posts as this one, it slows down the server for Free Republic and they like us not to go over 10,000 posts.

So see you at:

Thanks for the ping. I've been having problems with this thread and the other couple of gardening threads. I read down about half a page, see an interesting link, and --POOF--, I'm off reading and learning for hours. Yesterday, it was PVC greenhouses, Monday it was seeds, heirlooms, etc. Today........I've only been up 30 minutes, and already ready to go to my Freeper "classroom" and start the lessons.

I guess one has to do what one has to do to deal with the stress of the "bailout" and the treasury's rescue plan announced yesterday. It makes me feel that I've a lot of learning to do, and the clock is ticking faster every day. Maybe today I can go to town and pick up a few of the necessities for the 72 hour kit. I have it started and pretty much know what to get, so I need to get at it. The current tornado watches this morning only emphasize to me that "we know not the time", and I need to get at it. Sorry for the incoherent early morning rambling - I'll get awake here in a few........

I am truly in fear of the bailout plan and all the socialist intentions in it.

Learn, and then learn some more, it is what is in our heads that will get us over the humps in life.

I wanted to be a writer and thought that if I were ever to be a good one, then I needed to know what I was talking about, so I learned a little about many things that a normal person would not.

Also the lack of education, made me go and learn all subjects and now I am glad that I did.

These threads are meant to give you an idea of what is out there, so you will go and learn.

I pray you stay safe and we never need all this information.

This thread never ceases to amaze me. I am going through from the beginning and copying what I need, putting them into different categories, so I do not use too much space on a .doc file. I do not have the confidence to sew. But, yesterday thought of trying to sew clothes for my children, so was searching craigslist in case anyone had any patterns they were giving away or selling. Here on 754 I see you posted clothing patterns online. Yay!

I have been reading these threads and links non-stop since I found them yesterday.

Reading your words often makes me get a bit sad, wishing for a simpler time. Your stories, and the way you write, are a joy.

You are quite a woman.
