Imagine being my neighbour and having to walk by this atrocity when you could be seeing a clear cut with round up ready grass.

And all that food, who even eats anyways right? I know most of us eat grass, especially the fertilized and weed'n'feeded kind!

Who in their right mind would want to go shopping for supper right outside their front door?

Thank you VERY much!! What a load of great information you just gave me, okay, I'll certainly start tagging preppers! Great tag! Can you tell I'm excited with all the exclamation points? LOLOL!! We just processed 23 meat birds today, I'll happily follow the preppers tag, and try and find you all. You are too sweet and kind to have shared/resteemed and upvoted this post. Big Hugs!!! xoxo

You'll notice all the views to this post. We have shared this on our facebook page. Hopefully it will inspire some of them to join Steemit so they can upvote your post as well.

Yes, I certainly did notice, and I am still on fb. What is your page, I'd love to be a part of it, give you my like definitely!

We really should do more to follow your example here. The Wife has put in one substantial garden so far, but there's a lot more land we could use.

It's taken a couple of years just to cut back all the brush that my grandfather let take over this place, and anything we don't mow gets immediately overrun by bittersweet vines and poison ivy. But running that lawn mower for a couple hours every week is not my favorite chore. Maybe we'll trade it for planting and weeding next year.

Your house looks absolutely charming nestled in behind the garden.

Thank you So very much Mr. Winston! I know with all your energy you put into mowing, you would love to expand the gardens instead. And it's not even too much weeding once the squash grows in to shade it all. The potatoes are all shading now too. I know YOU GOT THIS!!!!

Eww what happened to your grass?!

What's the difference between yellow beans and green beans? I can honestly say, I never had or heard of yellow beans.
I LOVE green beans!

HAHAA honestly I don't think there's a difference at all LOL!! They both taste AMAZING!! And the same LOL!

Haha, are they two different beans, or one is just more ripe than the other? I am very interested in this bean dilemma as you can tell hhaha

No, they are the same tasting kind of bean, same ripeness, same texture, just different colours so far as I can tell. I can't even tell you why I always get the different colours, maybe because I like colour. I have purple beans too, almost ready to pick LOL same taste as a green bean, and actually once they are steamed, not steemed haha, they turn green! Weird eh?

One day, when I am responsible and have my own compound, hopefully with a big family, and all my family, I will grow my own vegetables and food!! I'm jealous!!

That's so awesome Lukin! Something tells me you'll be a natural, you seem to really have a passion for life, and can do anything you set your mind to.

I've always thought there was a subtle difference between the taste of green beans and yellow beans, also called wax beans for some reason.
The beans I don't care for the taste so much are purple beans. Of course, that's just my own taste buds, I know several people who really like the taste of purple beans.

Thanks for weighing in Amber!

You're welcome!

Thanks for sharing a beautiful lifestyle about
homsteading, every people should get their food directly from his garden

Thank you so much Good Dr!

My goodness your house is adorable! And the garden in front is perfect! :) Your house reminds me of my great grandparent's house in many ways. :D Lovely. :D

Thank you sweetness! Yes, this old home has treated us sooooo good, even though we rent, we have an amazing landlord who lets us do all sorts of crazy stuff, and we've really become part of the land here. It's a tight fit getting all 5 of us in here, however, it is a HOME in every sense of the word. <3 <3 <3

It does look cozy! What's the square footage on it? It's quite cute. I'd love to have a smaller home. Haha

Oh my, I'll have to ask my husband when he gets home :)

I envy you Lyndsay, I really wish to do what you and your family is doing. I'm hoping my direction by next year will be living an hour out of town at a freinds acreage. If the Bitcoin keeps climbing....

You SOOO got this Covey!! xoxo

Your fellow Canadian Curtis Stone, the Urban Farmer, would be proud 😊

You can't eat grass, you can only sm*k3 it

HHAAHA!! GOOD ONE!! And thank you for recommending Curtis to me, I'm gonna check out his work! :) Appreciated Pennsif!
