Hey, I’m posting in two places I think…the daily Feb Prep everyday and this one just to chat and include things I forget to mention in the other one. I was getting a bit bogged down trying to figure out how best to record pantry storage items, but think I’ve got it pretty much figured out. Well, at least I can see where some big holes exists, primarily in canned fruits and veggies. Overall, though, it looks like I could survive quite nicely for most grocery and non-grocery items in a long term situation. There’s good variety. And, I’d have some to share as well. So that makes me feel nice. I’ve done something meaningful with my days and that’s important to me.
Still harvesting small amounts of fresh spinach from my little indoor garden. A real gardener would laugh at my haul, but I’m thrilled and am eagerly looking forward to expanding my little garden. Purchased some seed trays and potting soil so I can start some of my heirloom seeds indoors. Just have to do a bit more research about when to start them and when I’ll need my outdoor space prepared for transplanting. Going to get my handyman to build me some beds high enough that I don’t have to bend over or stoop down too much. This will be a small effort. I definitely see myself buying most things from our local farmers, a number of whom are doing more organic gardening now. And, I see dehydrating probably becoming my go-to preserving method. Some canning if I can get my granddaughters to help, but that’s a bit iffy. They are teens and soon getting their driver’s license. Not much time for grandma I think.
So good to see for others joining in the conversation. OldMansd shares that he is continuing making his leather items. I figure that is what will keep him off the streets and out of trouble. 🙂
Everybody stay safe if you’re in bitterly cold areas.
