“tRUMP’s virus” will be with us for a year or two until a vaccine is available. Until then, EVERYONE could get it and get sick or die.

Wanna protect yourself to some degree? Grow some of your own food. I used to say it was a good idea to do that (in the old days) so “nobody else’s ‘poopy fingers’ “ gave you E-coli, in addition to the “zero carbon footprint” that growing your own food illustrates. Eat homegrown food, save the planet- true statement.

Add to the intelligent logic of home grown food now, is the FACT that if you harvest your own food, it’s virus free if you are. Less trips to the store too!!!

Are you a gardening neophyte? No worries, we aren’t. Everything you could ever need to know about having a highly successful garden is located in this blog.

Scroll back to April of 2017 for the beginning of your education! Frost/pH/organic vs inorganic fertilizer/roundup/soil/spacing/staking...
​pathogens/feeding, etc.

You need loose, fluffy soil. Lots of organic matter to feed the microbes.

When you’re done preparing your garden you should not have to use a tool to plant your vegetables your fingers should slip into the soil very easily
