This is your challenge for the week of May 11 through May 17.
Week 20
This week make copies of your health insurance ID cards. Place the copy behind the medical information tab.
While shopping, purchase some extra garden seeds. Corn, carrots, green beans, broccoli, peas, onions, tomatoes, squash, and zucchini, for example.
If you can't devote a large portion of land to a garden, try planting in containers. I don't know about you, but I am feeling like it is more and more important to learn how to be self-reliant. I get really overwhelmed when I think that 99% of my food comes from other sources besides my own hard work. I guess if one can live on raspberries and tomatoes, oh and some green onion and chives, then I'll make it. But, other than that, I rely partially on local farmers and heavily on the grocery store. It amazes me how our way of life and our livelihood has completely 180'ed since our farming ancestors. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy technology, but my computer, for instance, can't grow food to sustain me.
This year, I am going to devote some of my time to learn how to make my own soap, look more closely into purchasing my own chickens, and even purchase a soy milk maker. Heck, I might even be really adventurous and raise some sheep, shear their wool, spin the wool, color it with natural dyes, then knit the wool into lovely socks and sweaters for me and my loved ones.
