My HOA said no chickens. I got them anyway. Freedom requires bravery.

I just added several new garden plots to my backyard. The land is sloped here so I trenched in free logs to hold the soil, rainwater, and nutrients, aka “terracing”. My goal for next year is to grow 80% of my family’s food on a regular city lot.

My first “Mater Sandwich”. Made with thick slices of fresh, ripe garden tomatoes that I grew myself, a generous smear of mayonnaise, salt, and black pepper!!

Even if you only have concrete or a balcony, you can still grow your own food and herbs. I’m growing rosemary, lavender, and mint in pots. The smells and flavors are worth it!!

If you’re ever in an emergency situation or down on your luck, you can eat these… leaves, flowers, roots and all. They are actually very good for you.

This is why I garden now. I’ll never forget 2020.

You can just build your own raised garden beds. You don’t need to buy a bunch of expensive stuff. I built this one myself using free logs.
