Planning on getting my tomato seeds planted when I get more soil. I'm going to start them in boxes, then transplant.

In preparing for the coming food shortages, I am planting a new 28' x 68' vege garden, and keeping the existing big watermelon patch. Will be digging my canner out of the garage.

I have a nursery holding some dwarf fruit trees for me.

Prepare!
