Thanks for your recipe, I will have to try it, should do well in a crockpot and Scott does pick up the chickens that are cooked.

I haven’t been able to go to stores for 3 years, so Scott does all my shopping for me and brings it to me.

The price one sometimes pays for getting on down the old age path.

The soil here does not grow food, only stickers.

I added a solar greenhouse to the mobile, so many years ago, that it has now fallen down.

You can grow an amazing amount of food in one, year around.

Bell Peppers make a small tree, like a tall tree rose.

Tomatoes bear for 2 years and you will cut them out, to keep your path open.

In the past, I found that 2 gallon containers and a sunny window would grow peppers, tomatoes and greens for salads.

The Walmart potting mix is good, the Pro mix from Walmart is extra good. Just fill a pot and drop a seed in it.

I had planned on getting someone to fill a few pots and bring them in, last week, but the snow came and my brother went home early, so I will not plant this year.

It is impossible for me to do it, as I am attached to the oxygen generator and go only as far as the hose goes.

This is the first thread that I have ever started, so the night flew by, as I looked for more things to post, went so fast that I have not been posting on the World Terrorism thread, so will have to get that caught up.

I have always been a night owl, and now, that I am alone, I sleep when I want to and do not watch the clock.

If I have left over rice, I often open a can of chopped stewed tomatoes, throw it in and heat, and it is an instant soup, if you have cornbread or other homemade bread, it is a full meal for lunch.

Can you tell us more about the solar greenhouse? I think I would like to make one but don’t have the foggiest. You grew plants all year round? I live in Wisconsin and wonder how I would keep a year round greenhouse. Also, wondering if anyone out there knows much about growing vegetables and herbs under growing lights indoors. Are you able to grow vegs and herbs indoors by a sunny window all year round?
