I loved the idea of learning how to churn butter, weave, make candles, and use the bounty of nature as our forefathers and mothers did. To this day, I love to experiment with using alternative methods and products – and nature’s bounty, to help supply our needs. Using nature’s bounty once in a while is not survival-ism.

I planted some green onion ends I saved the root ends of two green onions that were in my veggie drawer, let them sit in water for a day or two, and then stuck them in the dirt in one of my outside pots, where they will grow new green onion tops. I stuck some wilty kale in a mug of water I used part of my poor neglected kale in a pot of soup.

For those who want to satisfy their sweet tooth but want to have healthier options, I recommend hosting a plant-based dessert bar. The term “plant-based” is a newer concept that has been added to our vernacular. Unlike Veganism, being plant-based is strictly for health reasons, not ethics. Have your cake and eat it too!

My grandmother, who turned 102 earlier this year, remembers when “organic” wasn’t even a word used when talking about food. All food was natural in that it wasn’t coated with hundreds of toxic pesticides, fungicides, and any other cide you can think of. But back to the “organic” issue at hand. Strawberries. Sweet Bell Peppers.

I plant my seeds indoors in February, wait for the last frost in May (sometimes until the end of May) to plant the vegetables outside, grow everything and hope that the longer growing plants like tomatoes can finish their growth before the first frost (which isn’t always likely).
