Here's what readers have to say about their FREE e-booklets:

Carol~
I just had to email you back to let you know I've been reading your free
e-booklet on homesteading and it is wonderful! I told my husband about it
and he asked me to forward it to him! He's the one that is really wanting
to do the whole homesteading thing but he grew up on a 700 acre, family
sheep and cattle ranch in S. Dakota so he knows more about what it takes
than I do. I would have no clue how to even start but reading your e-booklet
really got me excited about the prospect of actually being able to do it!

Thanks again, so much, for sending!

I am compiling a list of posts that you may use on your blog free of charge. The only stipulation is that you include my bio with the post and that you link back to this site. I also ask that you email me to let me know that you intend to use the post so that I can promote it on Twitter and Facebook. The first post I am offering is:

Is Your Teen Prepared for His First Job?

By clicking on the title, you will be taken to a Google document where you can read the post and see if you like it. Then, if you do, you can copy it for your use.

TODAY IN THE GARDEN

June 22, 2011--Weeding, weeding, weeding. Mulching, mulching, mulching. Uncovered my Brussel sprouts as the row cover was too small to allow any more growth. They are already waist high and starting to form little sprouts. Also uncovered a row of cabbages because I saw cabbage worm moths UNDER the row cover. SIGH. Have been dusting for potato bugs and cabbage worms. Planted a new row of green beans.

June 16, 2011--Well, here's another update: Harvested all greens and planted some more in a shadier location. (That's lettuce, Swiss chard, and kale.) Harvested all the rest of the original broccoli plants. Planted a row of bird's egg beans. Thinned the beets. Tied up the cucumbers and tomatoes. Planted, mulched, and thinned the corn. Planted watermelons. Planted three hills of zucchini. Dug up potatoes that were volunteers from last year and prepared that area for cantaloupes. Have been weeding like mad.

May 26, 2011--This is an update of all things I've been able to do in between rain showers. WEEDING. Finished planting all potatoes. Put up trellis and planted 18 tomato plants. Installed arching trellis and planted cucumbers to climb up that. The best part...been enjoying lots of salads from all the fresh greens.

May 10, 2011--I'm losing track of time from not posting this right away. But, sometime last week I finished all my walking paths and planted a row of beets and a row of green beans.

May 6, 2011--My broccoli is flowering already and that is TOO soon. I'm afraid I'm only going to get enough for a salad out of 30 plants. So today I put in 30 more little seedlings right in between those. Praying they aren't too late.

May 5, 2011--Put down two more walking paths and tilled two rows. Where the tractor plowed in March is rapidly filling in with grass so we are racing to get the rest of the space covered with paths or tilled.

April 30, 2011--Put down two more walking paths. Planted another row of potatoes and re-seeded my spinach and kale rows that I did on the 15th because the seeds never came up and I fear they washed away in a heavy rain. (We've had LOTS of heavy rain.)

April 26, 2011--Tilled and planted another row of potatoes. Could not do another walking path because out of newspaper.

April 25, 2011 -- Tilled another row and planted potatoes in it. Planted 18 more lettuce plants and 4 spinach plants. Also made another walking path.

April 23, 2011--Planted 30 broccoli plants

April 19, 2011 -- Cut up seed potatoes. Made another walking path.

April 15, 2011-- Planted a row of spinach seeds and one of kale seeds. Also made walking paths with newspaper and straw.

April 14, 2011 -- Planted 16 Brussel's sprouts plants, 9 collard plants, 12 lettuce plants.
