Heirloom Organics

I found a new site this morning while stumbling that I think could be very useful to my fellow gardeners. It is called "heirloom organics" and along with having many varieties of old seeds, they also have a large supply of "how to" pages on growing vegetables. This looks like a great site and I'm very excited to check it out more myself. You can find the link below.

Enjoy!

Happy New Year Everyone!

Thank you for checking out my site in 2012, hopefully this coming year I will be able to make a bit better. Many of the seed companies have been sending out their seed catalogs. That means it's time to start scoping for good deals and also start planning your gardens for the coming season. My mother also happen to run into a sweet deal at a local thrift shop. She found a modest supply of new seeds for a great price, so once again, keep your eyes peeled for good deals.

Happy New Year! Enjoy

It is really inspiring to here about this type of urban gardening and I hope to check it out sometime soon!

Book of the Week: Compact Cabins

So lets say that you just got some land, maybe a bit more secluded and you want to farm. Well if you are like me, this book could probably give you a great idea for a cabin to build on that secluded property.My girlfriend and I found this book and have really enjoyed it. There are numerous customizable plans in this book that are for cabins of 1000 sq feet or less, which keeps things fairly affordable. This is definitely a book to check out!



Enjoy!
