In your busy life you might be missing something of some import.
Without you even noticing, you are being robbed of the ability to feed yourself. This ought to scare the HELL out of you.
It is not just the small farmer that is being put out of business it is becoming illegal for you to even grow a garden or raise a few chickens or a milk cow to feed your family – you are becoming totally dependent on large agri-business for your daily intake of GMO, MSG, and toxic waste (food).

Even though it is cold and cloudy things are still growing. I am a bit concerned that they are prematurely setting fruit (hmm, is that what vegetables do?) due to the lack of sun and a a bit on the cold side.
Tom Tom is hogging almost half of the back end of the greenhouse and has a couple of small green tomatos.
(judge) Roy Bean is flowering again which I don’t fully understand. This is a “Contender” Bush Bean and has had beans on it one time already – I thought they were determinate (producing all at once).
The peppers are setting flowers. Again I hope it is not premature as the plants are still a bit small.
These plants were all started last winter and moved to the earth buckets back in march or so . We are probably pushing the season but with luck we could get some early produce.
From left to right: Pepe the pepper, Judge Roy bean, Tom A. Toe who spent quite a while in a foster home along with Roy because I ran out of room in my little place, then Tom Tom Tom – the 2nd (Tom Tom Tom passed on due to an unfortunate accident during a transplant operation), and finally Tom Tom who who was cared for from birth (sprout) by a loving parent (Me). Tom was injured when we tried to re-locate him from his foster home in the back of a pickup (he was too tall to fit in the cab) and the wind just about beat him to a pulp. (Tomato pulp – get it?)
Well it is not a s large as I had hoped but is is quicker than I had hoped for.
This is a joint venture with a neighbor and will be a good learning experience for both of us. I could not have afforded to do the whole thing myself so the arrangement is greatly to my advantage.
We were able to transport the thing in one piece – not recommended if you are going very far or if there is much wind. Drive very slow!!
Foundation is 6×6 landscape timbers with a 2×6 plate. I had thought to build a 12 to 18 inch high stub wall. That would still be a good idea since the unit is not real tall.
The connection between a man and his dog or a man and his horse can sometimes be so special that it defies definition.
David Hartwig and Stacy Westfall know what I mean.
