I'm very behind in posting this months focus for Provident Living/Food Storage/Emergency Preparedness! So sorry--the trip threw me off. But HERE IT IS!
Canned fruits and vegetables. Again, look to the right and down for the sidebar with the weekly assignments. We'll have to play a little 'catch-up' to get back on track. My error for not getting it on sooner.
You can also go to www.spanalaskasales.com/shop/basic-cfruit.html to get some more ideas to add. This is a sight where you can buy by the case or 1/2 case, but I'm not advocating that. It just gave me LOTS of fresh ideas of things to keep in rotated storage. For instance: cranberry sauce, pumpkin, mandarin oranges, artichoke hearts, beets, spinach, etc.
Our goal for next week starting Monday, is to rearrange the small garage to fit our 2 new water barrels in, rotate the others, and begin a detailed inventory of all of what we have. I'll keep you posted on our progress.
Dad started buying seeds for the garden already. Even if you are in an apartment, please consider growing some things in containers on your patios. There is a nifty upside down tomato pot/hanger that you can hang from an "S" hook and grow some tomatoes, or take a wire tomato cage and put it in a patio pot bottom side up and plant pole beans or cucumbers. They are kind of pretty too for some greenery on your patio!
And speaking of gardening: I've been looking into a composter. Everytime I peel potatoes and put the peelings in the trash I keep thinking about how I could be making my own fertilizer. Wish me luck!
In the meantime: FAM-I-LY! We must do this! Even the smallest effort is better than nothing. Some of you have started and it is motivating so see how quickly it adds up. Keep up the good work!
We love you all--
Mom and Dad
