Growing indoor tomatoes is not that hard, but how do you get them to really grow and have that tart taste that home grown tomatoes are really known for? That may be a secret, however, rain is part of the answer, if you can develop a portable system, (on wheels) then that is ideal, however if not then there are other methods to introduce the right ballance of nutrients to the hydro system.

Garden design

January 25, 2012 By garden plants Leave a Comment

The first thing in designing a garden is the selection of the best place for your garden.

Full sunshine is the best choice however if you do not have a choice try to find the most sunlight that you can, you can also grow many different kinds of veggies in small areas, you may have seen the advertisements on TV showing the upside down tomatoes plants, sadly most of the time it just does not work out well, simply because you must have direct sunlight at least six hours out of the day.

One of the most common mistakes is trying to grow plants that need more room than you have to grow.

You can easily grow herbs in small containers, so if you have less space you can use a deep pot, to grow tomatoes.

Tomatoes need deep pots to better support the root system, the deeper you can provide support to a root system the better fruit you will get in return for your efforts.

You can grow a garden any time of year, even in the winter.

home gardening

January 25, 2012 By garden plants Leave a Comment

The other day we saw one of those bobble heads on the news talk about how the home gardening movement was just a fad, I had to laugh because for one thing I doubt they ever lifted a finger to garden or probably even know what a shovel looks like, yet they are quick to talk about what they do not know about, that is typical of some people that depend on others for a living, in the old days, every one farmed or they starved…

Millions of People all over the world are discovering that they too can garden at home.

In fact it might someday come down to your families survival…

You can too, in fact with the high cost of fuel and the higher cost of produce, it is getting hard to afford the cost of food in the grocery stores, like during the great depression, people depended on growing to provide food for their families, that time may come again sooner than anyone ever thought.

Gardening for survival

January 17, 2012 By garden Leave a Comment

There may come a time in the not too distant future where your ability to feed your family might in part depend upon if you can grow food or not, that is something you want to really pay attention to. Cultivating food is not that hard, but there are some things that you need to understand.

1. You need three basic things.

Water, Sunlight, Heat, in the right proportions.

Too much of any one of these things, and you end up with nothing.

Back years ago, when farming was not just a hobby if you did not manage your crops correctly you ended up not having enough food to make it through the winter. That was long before the concept of the supermarket came into being.

We have become used to being able to go to any store and buy what ever we want or need, and in some cases you can buy what you do not need too. What happens though when you find out that the cost of food gets so high that the average person can no longer afford it buy it, or what might happen if the food is not safe to eat?

Think about that for a few moments.

Remember over the last few months, and in fact over the last two years there have been several outbreaks of food borne illnesses, that have killed people, if you were part of that what might happen to your family then?

It is a serious thing and it is something that you need to be prepared to deal with.

Buying in Bulk

January 17, 2012 By garden plants Leave a Comment

Are you prepared?

FOOD STORAGE and buying foods in bulk.

Do you know that proper food storage is essential to the well-being of everyone in your household? A little knowledge on the basics of successful food storage keeps your family safe and helps you make the most of your food dollars. Here we’ll take a look at some tips and a few techniques that pay big dividends.

With the higher costs of food these days you have to think seriously about making your money last.

Food storage can be looked at from both long and short term perspectives. Bulk, canned and preserved foods in a good variety are good insurance against emergencies such as natural disasters or work shortages and layoffs. When doing your regular shopping, allot 10% of your budget towards a ready survival pantry. When storing perishables, pay attention to your food storage methods to avoid waste. However, both long and short term food storage requires safe methods and containers.

Always store bulk foods, such as rice, flour and dried beans in plastic or tin containers to protect against dampness and insects. Whole grains, such as wheat germ or wheat flour should be stored in the frig or freezer. Canned goods are best stored above the ground in a dry location. Rotate your canned stock with your most recent purchases at the back.

Almost everyone has woefully discovered perishable foods such as that bit of egg salad from last week’s lunch in a sorry state of waste. Storing leftovers in small date-marked food storage containers on a designated shelf allows you to see at a glance what should be used soon.

Herbs and spices are expensive, but indispensable to varied and interesting menus. Buy in quantities you will use in six months and store in a cool, dark location to maintain freshness.

All meats should be stored promptly. If you won’t be using these foods today, freeze them. This is particularly true of poultry, fish and seafood. A steak or roast will certainly keep in the frig until tomorrow, but don’t take chances with other meats. Double-bagging, or wrapping in butcher’s paper for the freezer preserves texture and extends freezer life.

Check the expiration dates on all dairy products. Do not store dairy products on the door of the frig. Although there’s a handy shelf on the door that fits a milk carton perfectly, this is the warmest part of the frig. Contrary to popular thought, bread does not keep well in the refrigerator. Store on your counter in a cool place. Most breads freeze well.

Good food storage practices benefit your health and your budget. Make these tips a regular habit. Your family will thank you.

Other condiments. Make sure you add cooking oil, shortening, baking powder, soda, yeast, and powdered eggs. You can’t cook even the most basic recipes without these items.

Jello, pudding, candy, etc.-you should add to your storage. These may sound frivolous, but

Vitamins

A special virtue of home stored foods is their low cost. Costs of dry bulk foods (before preparation) are often less than 1/4 of convenience and fresh foods purchased at supermarkets.
