Start your seedlings now, on the sunny side of the house dig down1ft build a box put a lid that has a glass panel you can start your seeds there!

The crops did not do well last year around here due to lack of rain from end of June to September.  All rain showers went around, or broke up as they came near us.  I wonder what it will do this year.

[Cheryl Nelson]

Yes, indeed.  Everyone should be planning their gardens now.

We are at that stage now. Even here in Canada, they are talking about a food shortage. We have to brace ourself and be more self sufficient.
