As I was thinking about what to write for this post I couldn’t help but think, “The world just keeps getting crazy.” It’s the truth. Yeah, I know, I’ve said it many times before.
I swear with each passing day I can’t help but shake my head in frustration as I see the insanity that goes on. We are living in a battle. This battle is between good and evil. The devil is hard at work to continue to degrade society, create division within society and families.
Good versus evil.

We ordered this mini-greenhouse/raised bed a couple weeks ago and put it together this past weekend. Reviews were not great as many said the wood cracked when putting screws in. I pre-drilled all holes and had no issues. It was pretty easy to assembly taking maybe an hour.
We paid just under $120, however, as with most things on Amazon the price changes from time to time. Build quality is decent but not great. I think we will get 3-4 years with minor repairs and reinforments needed. I would build my own, but, my time is being prioritized elsewhere.
We are going to add this to the new backyard garden once the weather warms.

In addition to the mini-greenhouse above we ordered another two galvanized raised beds. These are also for the new expanded backyard garden area. We are looking to add a total of 12-14 raised beds plus a small in-ground bed.
We’ve been picking up raspberry, blackberry, blueberry and elderberry plants as well. These are younger plants that are fairly inexpensive. No locations have been picked for them yet, but, we will spread them around the property.
Can’t wait to start growing our own food again!

Opened one of these yesterday to get a chipmunk lured in a trap at work. Absolutely disgusting 😂

Waterglassed another dozen eggs…
We’ve really expanded our food storage program over the past year. A lot of canning planned this summer.

Take care all!

Hep pal, give that raw wood on your new hot house a couple coats of Kilz and it will last as long as you need it though the plsatic panels will only last as long as they last in your environment. Sun kills the stuff.
Appreciate that CaptTurbo!
Bought a Veggie Pod last year, looking at it just raise seedlings, so far the test batch has proved it should work fine. Last bunch of chicks we bought included a rooster, surprise, the girls are good layers and thinking of getting an incubator and raising our own chicks.
as for rodent bait, i have always used vanilla wafers. they can’t resist em.
if you want to keep them away use peppermint or mint extract. it works very well for us. nilla wafers in traps and mint around the house and barns for a repellant.
What is your opinion on the galvanized raised beds? A friend bought a few and they were rusting badly after only one winter.
No issues so far. Reading reviews on Amazon came across a couple models that people reported rusting, so, I passed on those.
The insane evil that is tearing our society apart is beyond my ability to
comprehend.
Who are these people? Where did they come from? How did they get to
be this way? The education system at all levels is the most likely culprit.
We as parents did not pay enough attention to curriculum or teachers.
I don’t think discipline is in the current school vocabulary.When you spend
eight years with the Sisters of Saint Dominic your good behavior is never
is never in question. Bad behavior resulted in attitude adjustment sessions.
Also known as an ass kicking.
Then the school called your parents and the attitude adjustment sessions
started all over again.
Perhaps the person with the greatest impact on my life was Drill Instructor
TSgt.Sherman O. Dooley.In his world being a screw up was not an option.
I don’t think that the type of people I’ve mentioned exist any longer.
I know the solution to having our world torn apart.
The Democrats,the Leftist Woke Mob,the Marxists and Communists are
our sworn enemies.They must be dealt with in the most severe manner.
It’s them or us.
Capisce?
I can’t argue with you Chuck. I struggle daily to comprehend myself. I’ve tried to stop trying to figure it out and just except the insanity – and then work to be a conduit of common sense. I feel like that is about as much as most of us can so as the evil from the other sides are extremely embedded in society.
Your talking about people in your life that had a positive impact gave me an idea for a future post. Thanks!
