Working on inventory

So today I will be doing an inventory of my food preps today and redoing my shelving I think. Not a lot to post I am also getting my seed books ready I can hardly wait. I will be getting the nursery started in a day or so. Going to be so fun to work on it. I can hardly wait.

Holy crap

Now I need to post a bit here I am going to be a dad. What does that mean? It means now I have to prep for 3 not just 2 and one is going to be continually changing. I am going to be working on things for just this now. Also I am going to be Doing a bunch of work in the next 2 weeks. It is going to be crazy hope everything I want to start and finish can be in the time I have for myself. I need to get a big to do list together now so I can work on things I like lists they help me stay focused. Prepping is lots of lists and other things as well. Well I am done for right now I will be posting more here I think as I get things on my list done. First thing is clean the basement again.

The Garden

Well I tried to get the garden started this winter as you know. I got it started but I could not keep it going. I am working on a better way to set things up to make it work much better. I got a bunch of seeds in the last two weeks. I am looking to start them this week I think. If I can get them started and then after the last frost I hope to get them in the ground. My first raised bed should need just a little work to have it up and running. Hopefully this will work. I think that heating was my big problem in the basement. I hope I can seal that up and get enough heat to make it work for next year. I am also looking at getting a Aeroponic grow setup. they are just expensive. maybe waiting till after next year will have to think about it. Well enough for right now. Need to get the BOB started for real this time. I am going to grab the 3 packs and get working.

Still working hard

We are still working on the preps. Things are going well just had Xmas day stuff got a new book.

Well I am working on things

So it has been a bit but I have not forgotten this. The other day I took some more pics of the sprouts growing I am posting them now I will be posting more pics after the transplanting tomorrow. I worked around the yard a bit today I have the measurements for the outside area of the garage for the things going in next Spring. There will be a ton of things going in. I am working on how I plan to do it right now. No time like the present right? Ok so here are the pics.

Here is the Basil Sprouts in all there glory. 

Here be Alyssum sprouts. 

Here are Final Herbs those being Parsley. 

Here are the pretty Daisies.

The Grocery Shelving has begun. I can make a ton of pasta now to just get a few food grade containers. 

So there you go. Now I am going to go since I will be working in the garage and in the basement tomorrow more pics to come soon. I promise. 

Storage and Growth

Today I went downstairs to turn on the grow light for the garden and what to my wondering eyes should appear but everything has sprouts just not the Petunia's. I am ok with that thou, I will be transplanting in a few weeks I think. I am so glad. Also I got some more food stored up today I am really making leaps of late. I will hopefully have all the Credit Cards paid off after April I am hoping. I am also looking to get another dog he is a 1/2 sheperd , 1/2 Collie he is so loving he is a bit older he is 7. We are talking about it before we make any big jumps like that. I would be happy with him and his name is Charlie. Well I will grab a few pics tomorrow and post them as well as pics of the garage door I have to get insulated before the temp drops again. and for good. Well that is all for right now.

Doing good

So last night after work I came home and checked my garden and to my surprise I have daisies sprouting and Basil. My wife is all about the basil I am just glad things seem to be doing good. I am going to start a link list of the sites that I get seeds from for this cool garden I have going. I think it will be time to start more veggies. This morning was the first real frost of the year. The temp was 38 degrees at 7:30. My basement needs a few more tweaks before the winter rolls in and makes work down there impossible with the hole. Tonight I hung the family Heavy Bag. It has been on the list of things to do for a very long time. (A full year I think.) Now it is up. Next is organizing my toolboxes and start working on my BOB's. Well enough for now. More to come tomorrow.
