I love your new cabinet! It's perfect, and beautiful. He did a great job. Keeping DS in my prayers. I think people would feel a lot more comfortable about surviving if they relied on their own knowledge and skills about how to take care of themselves. Living in rural KY, people here are already tilling their gardens, and buying plants and seeds. Most people can what they have in abundance when the harvest comes in, but mostly, they give to their neighbors and friends, which is awesome for me! I'm trying to locate enough land to plant one this year, but it is hard to get anyone with a tractor to plow it up for me. The tiller is also on the fritz. Every year I hope I can do it, but it doesn't ever seem to work out. Where I live has gravel underneath the grass because it used to be a parking lot, and the men won't leave anything I plant alone for mowing. lol I hope everything turns out good in your garden. I'm hoping to can some pickled corn later this Summer, because it's my favorite!

Thank you so much for telling us of this. You and DS are now in my prayers, and will stay there; as you cross this mountain, may angels guide and protect you.

Prayers and Donation sent, best thing ever happened to me was getting divorced/ and hip replaced. finally able to live like a hillbilly on 25 acres in the Ozarks 4 dogs 2 goats 6 chickens and a pissed of angry mule. I looked into going to India have Dr. Bose who developed the Birmingham hip replacement method do the procedure at that time it was 5800 including flight hotels etc. But My US doc, an ex Army guy ended up doing it gratis (he didnt charge me) but the hospital out of pockets were around 9k. The relief of pain was life changing.

I like your teepee idea. I might try that big version this summer.

I use a similar technique for tomatoes. I'll get 3 pieces of bamboo (5' or 6'), drill a hole in the top of each, wire them together with metal wire, and drop garden twine down the middle. When the tomato starts to grow up, I just wrap the stem around the twine, which then gets supported by the bamboo tripod.

It's the easiest and most robust tomato trellis I've tried so far, and really cheap.
