I was just thinking that a seed swap would be the perfect thing for this site. Like playing go fish. List what you have and list what you want. I bet God can do the rest. Maybe on the states pages would be a good place to start.

David the Good just got an upgrade to Freestanding! You may need re-named as David the Sage, (c’mon, garden humor). Happy to have you, and may your cucumbers always be green😁

I have a chickshaw 2.0 (Justin Rhodes plans) and I am blessed with an abundance of hawks. I take a 6×8 or 8x 10 tarp and make a lean -to off one side or another depending if they need weather or sun protection. I will use tent stakes or fibertuff poles to hold down the ground end, and sometimes a slanted pole underneath to hold shape, especially in rain or snow. I use bungees to hold it at roof level, or lapped over the top of the shaw. The birds really like the extra cover, and tarps are pretty inexpensive. You could also do a hinged corrugated pvc “awning” off the shaw that would stand out, as well.

Thank you thank you thank you for this thread!! I just about cried when I read it. The husband doesn’t help, so I have a full time nurse job (with on-call), AND mowing, gardening, animals (small only) and cleaning. Just got new gutters and a roof put on and painted the outside of the house this summer….also solo. He won’t eat “real” food, so cooking is minimal. He eats out a lot. But if the food supply goes south, I am trying my best to get ready. Dehydrating all the extra produce to make “veggie chips”, fermenting, freezing, pickling, pressure canning, water bath canning. Just about ready to bury kim-chi in the back yard🤣. The pond has fish. We back to park land, so deer is in abundance. Dehydrating teriyaki deer jerky today. I have to remember that others do this solo every day and God is sufficient and wants us to lean on Him. Keep the faith everyone. The future of everything is in our hands.

I suggested the same thing KelleinMT, maybe over in the States forums, or maybe they can do a growing zones forum for a seed swap. That may be my good idea for the day.

Thanks for your kindness Art.

God loves you Sis! I would totally hug your neck if we met. I was shucking corn in the dark last night 😊 I have a theory that recalcitrant spouses are part of God’s lesson on leaning on Him, as well as progressive sanctification. Iron sharpens iron. And I feel like this site/forum has been a gift from God to connect and encourage.
