When and how do you use your hoss tools?
Found a old high arch model, Mr. Dany witch tool do you use on your high arch?
Now we got some old ones that every one can use and not have to be changed. And the new ones for own use, in the market garden.

How about we just use the word freesteading everytime we talk about homesteading? We all know what we are talking about, others wil question. Maybe freesteading wil not be deleted anymore.

In the early days, they made the hot beds with frames and used strawbedding. Just a couple cm compost, and plant. Also pineapple in greenhouse in colder zones, old way market garden from Europe.
This winter we are able to do this in our greenhouse, “grazon” free.In the early days, they made the hot beds with frames and used strawbedding. Just a couple cm compost, and plant. Also pineapple in greenhouse in colder zones, old way market garden from Europe.

Over here the world is just fine, nothing wrong or going on. New aldi and lidl are renewed and opening, looking full and with good prices so it seems.
I am just a crazy chicken lady, doing grocery for a big family and children summe camp so that is ok. Husband complains about buying 1 or 2 extra, and asks every time do we not have that? I just say did we not eaten that, pantry grows slowly. And doesn’t see the prepping I do, because that would be crazy. They will take care of us, do not worry.
From the start I known what could happen with all the modern technology, that is why I still work with old machines. Also with no power, just krank it yourself.
It is terrible to see all the attacks and just a few that are aware, makes you thinks who are the crazy ones. ButI keep on playing my role of the crazy chicken lady who follows the way to go.

Do ñot worry, it is like a constant battle and you have to find your way that works for you.
After a good pregnancy, a emergency Caesarean section our son hat to struggle for his first years. We can write a book, what a time and we are still not there yet. But he is doing fine so far, a lovely young boy our proud and joy.
Lost controle over the garden, but little by little won it back again. Before the birth, took al poison plants out, for a good reason. It was a child friendly garden, but grown out of control.
Turn the family garden and vegetable garden around, so the family garden is up front and vegetable garden at the back. And made a victory or kitchen garden by the kitchen , layout is market gardening. Now it looks like a garden again and gives fruit, my husband still wants to give up but he is seeing to what I am working to. If he would only help out more and be less of a potato couch. But not gonna push him, just letting him run free and do his things.
Let us say it is not like the deep south everywhere, but we all have our struggles. Hang on there and keep you head up!

Linolive thank you so mutch, I pray for you and your loved ones.
Can not even imagine how that black friday over food will be, for sure my husband is not going shopping.
What makes it hard and I can not understand, is that the parents from my husband (thank God they do not have to go true these harsh times) lurned from the war. And told stories how hard it was and alle they had to do, to get food on the table. And they promised to never let that hapen to their childres.
Such a sweet family but realy German, they had no choice and were forced in to all that was wrong. I lost most my family, thank God I was born. No stories from the side I do not have to explain, but one story from a brother from my father, that our family did so mutch resistance and become a gratitude letter from the Royal family from UK and Netherlands.
I always remeber euch year all fallen ones, still it is a risk to openly show so I do not. But we all have Hebrew names with a fitful meaning. It is amazing how stupid people can be and yes it should hurt, hating what they do not see and recoqnce ore understand.
So glad I found my way to here.

MemberSeptember 14, 2022 at 9:45 am in reply to: Market garden for children in Kindergarten and school, what would parents wish?Thank you for your information, sounds like a educational program for the children. Hopefully more to come for years.
I am aware that they can be picky eaters, our son is not he eats all he can raw and cooked but he crow up with fresh home cooked food. Sadly most children do not even know all fresh produce and not tasted vegetables or fruit. Fast food and factory food, that is why they are picky.
We got all kinds of shapes, colors and taste, easy to crow for children. And can take from the market garden produce. Also growing in small spaces like pottery, buckets, bags and containers, so they can take plants with them and grow at there Kindergarten, school and home.

Grumpy It is how you describe, but I and so all of us crazy folks want to be prepared. For me personally let it not come to far until my husband says, ow my now what are we going to do.
As a mother I have the responsibility that we become a meal each time. No matter if it is my husband that brings the food home or not. I truly hope the day does not come, that he is going to say I was right and not grazy after all. Sure not going to let our son be hungry, also not his parents to stay strong to be there for him.
Although it hurts do not show it and cry alone for no one to see but only God, they can call me all they want. But do not show at our home or us, they will be composed and be hurtful but fast. Weapons are not aloud here, but can do without. With bare hands if necessary, just take a look at history. It were the farmers and native people that were the true warriors.
I live and play by the laws, but let us pray a lawless time will not come.
Beside we have a project to accomplish and leave all behind for our son and the next generations to come.
