Lots of feral pigs in Texas. Neighbor has chickens. Brother is probably going to put a few feeder calves on his property. Garden is going great. I've got green tomatoes bigger than a silver dollar (a real one), and as of yesterday, tiny squash and zuchinni fruits in large numbers. The squash and zuchinni plants themselves have been growing great for the last month and about a meter across. The beans are growing stupid fast, and the sunflowers are close to a foot tall. We'll have salad greens in a couple of weeks.

Prayers for a good year and good harvest.

I will be spending less than $20/wk for groceries in less than a month.

You are lucky, Spring has barely started here and it is still snowing.

I’m already spending less than $20.00 a week just to save money and that’s without a garden. Believe me it’s more than a stretch but I’m doing this to stock up otherwise.

Now about that raised deck garden in this article....can’t one just line an area with brick and plastic and accomplish the same thing? I’m garden illiterate.
