Saturday, March 3, 2007 - Organic Gardening Newsletter and contest

      Since I just got my email newsletter from Organic Gardening, I thought I would tell you so you can go sign up for it. I just sent a copy of Companion Planting by OG to Jenefer, and I forgot how I had gotten it... well, Nancy just reminded me: I signed up for their newsletter! So, go sign up for it!!

From this month:
Simple Seed Starting
Ensure that your plants are organic from start to finish by starting your own seeds. More more
Is Your Soil Ready?
Clues that indicate that your soil is ready for seeds and transplants. More more
Plant Broccoli this Spring
Increased interest in healthful foods has made broccoli a regular feature of most Americans' diet. More more
10 Unusual Spring Flowers
These elegant early bloomers carpet the ground with color. More more

    I also found a month by month page on their site that tells you what to do each month for gardening in your zone. It is really helpful. This is the page: http://www.organicgardening.com/channel/1,,s1-5,00.html. Click on the Select Your Region in the top Section: OG Almanac.
They also have a Daily Tip each day. Today's is: Seed Swaps and Heirloom Seeds:"Here's a list of heirloom seed sources and organizations that trade and promote heirlooms"

**They also have a contest going on: WIN KIDS GARDENING TOTE!**

Blessings!!

Yea, they had me download the Companion ebook after I registered. It was the only one that showed as available to me.

Also, chicken stripping - we call it skinning - stripping is Jen's word. Ha! Instead of plucking, we just pull the skin and feathers off all at once when butchering. It's much faster and kind of like peeling a banana. :o)

We kept our baby chicks in kiddie pools in our garage last year. Wherever you keep them, you just need to be able to keep them warm enough.

About Me

Walking Therein is a blog dedicated to journaling our family times, encouraging Biblical living, presenting what we have learned in 15 years of home schooling, and occasionally sidetracking on news-related stories or politics. We are looking for Yeshua, our Messiah to return soon, and are devoted to the One True God, which you will see reflected on each page. I am a forgiven & restored daughter of the One True God, a happy stay-at-home wife, and home schooling Momma to eight beautiful children. Our home school is Living Learning Moments, meaning we learn as life happens. We live on a 2 1/2 acres little farm in IN, and we love our homestead, raise goats and chickens, and keep our home. We also enjoy managing several websites and writing articles for the glory of God as we train up our children for him.
