@sustainablyyours talks about the reproduction habits of earthworms. I learned something from this post. I have seen the “cocoons that are not cocoons” a thousand times as a kid and often wondered what they were. If my parents knew, they wouldn’t say, but now I know. Check it out! Earthworms are a huge help in improving the health of your soil.
@janver06 post came at just the right time. Just this past week I read an article about some diseases that have recently became zoonotic and it is rather scary.

Check out how they keep themselves safe when raising animals on the farm.
@mountainjewel teaches you about a plant many consider to be a weed, but is actually edible and makes a great ground cover!
One of the guiding factors behind @mountainjewel efforts on their homestead is encouraging plants that come back year after year and provide a food source. Less work to be repeated year after year and long term supply of food to go with it!

I haven’t tried this one yet, but this sounds like a great way to get more veggies and it allows me to use only the lower carb veggies too! They look delicious and I can’t wait to give them a try!

I am not a coffee drinker so someone will have to let me know how it goes, but I know how many people love their coffee and will be in bad shape if the SHTF. Now you have another alternative to try.

Here’s on last thing to think about.
It makes no sense taking life so seriously that you can’t find something to laugh about every single day.
May you and yours have health, happiness, wealth and peace in your lives!

What? How to roast Jerusalem Artichoke to make coffee? I am definitely going to look into that one! -Aimee
Let us know how it works and what it tastes like. I am NOT the right person to judge anything dealing with coffee or even coffee substitutes. I have never drank a cup of coffee in my life, lol. (never drank a beer either)
Wow! That's impressive! I was a tea drinker myself and then I got a high demand job and my coworker would always do a coffee run and I started drinking a few. Then Matt came along with his keen sense for delicious beans and then I was hooked. I haven't found a great substitute but I did enjoy drinking a hot danelion root beverage while I was pregnant.
I have tasted beer but I don't think I have ever finished one. I think they're disgusting. LOL!
If I remember to try it this summer when we have a crop I will write a post about it. -Aimee
I have finished to many beers but I am not a coffee drinker at all. I don't like hot drinks really but I do like iced coffee. I am going to do a post on yaupon tea. Down here in Fl the yaupon trees grow everywhere and can be used to make a tea. It is a Holly plant that produces caffeine similar to green tea. Many places sell yaupon tea now so you may have even had it before.
You may just need to find the right bean for you, that's what it took for me. I am glad someone out there is filling my beer drinking quota! 😉 I have not tried or heard of yaupon tea. If you do write an article, give me a nudge, I would be interested to read about it. -Aimee
Posted up that article and some links that have extra info incase it is something that sparks your interest. Maybe I will go and pick up several coffee beans myself and try them out. Thanks for the help.
Fantastic, I will head over and have a read. One of my favourite beans is from ethical bean coffee and it's called exotic. It stopped being carried the few places I used to buy it though so I may have to start getting it online. I found if I blended the beans finely it would almost taste like dark chocolate. Hopefully you find something you like. And if you don't, you'll have avoided adding another addiction to your list. -Aimee
