Dealing with cancer!
Well, I got the phone call, tormorrow I go for my CTS scan. Just to see where I`m at with my cancer. I`m still awaiting the phone call about my liver transplant. Mean while I`m letting no grass grow under my feet, I`m still trying to learn all I can about gardening and home canning and making my own pickles, I simply love pickles these days.
I`m going to start my garden sometime around Feb. I have all kind of plans in my head that I need to put down in a note book. I must get more orgenized. I`ve already started the pricing process for canning at home just to get started will cost around $40.00 to begin...but, the up note is I`ll have stored food worth $60.00 or more. My garden, to start will cost some where around $80.00 to start but, again I`ll have saved some where around $100.00 just in fresh fruits and veggies and canned goods at home. So the cost will be cheap compared to buying these things at the store. And once I have things rolling along my cost should drop to just around $20.00 every two months to keep it going. I should be able to keep fresh fruit and veggies growing year round both outside and in the house.
I`ll be using containers to grow things in and not the ground. Because I don`t need rows of food growing, just a small amount for the me and the family. I plan to grow the things we like best such as tomatoes and lettuce, cucumbers, onions, strawberries, watermelon, maybe some grapes, squash, hopefully some corn, and maybe some green onions, and a few other things. I`m still reading about more and more things that will grow in our zone 9 gardening area. I would love plant some fruit trees for us like oranges and grapefruit and maybe peaches. We will see as time goes on how I`ll be able to do these things, I plan for and want to do. I think, if I was speak honestly, I want a farm where I grow veggies and fruit and meat animals such as chickens, pigs, maybe a few cows and I would love to have some horses. I would even want to have ducks and turkeys. Just having a home where I don`t need to buy stuff from the stores, that have all kinds of hormones and add ons or in our food. Seems like a dream to me. But, you never know, it could happen!!
God is great and he answers prayers as we need them, so I can wait and see.
