Green Thumb?

Don't Hate Me Cuz I Am Beautiful!
Remember that old commercial?

People have no idea what it's like to live my life... constantly growing things, while others out there are the Angel Of Gardening Death. It's Just not fair...

I plant, grow, and harvest Cut and Come Again method. And I stagger plantings, 3 weeks apart, so that there's always something ready to harvest for salads all year round.

Those yummy greens I picked are a big part of growing and providing for my family all year round. Snow, ice, Rains? Doesn't matter, I try and find a way to grow for my family. I aiming for increasing my food security for my family, as much as possible. Each season, I come closer to independence.

I served my Twice Baked Potato, with my home grown greens, and a nice thin sliced Rib-Eye, cooked on high heat and done rare. When it is this thin, by the time it hits the table, it will cook more, so plan on cooking it under what your family and guests prefer, and let time finish it.

It's time to take control of your own food supply,
your own health and your own lives.

The GroVid22 Challenge:
Grow Your OWN is not just a simple short challenge,
it's about taking control of your future!

Happy New Planting and Cheers,
