I'll sleep well

I spent hours in the garden today. The weather was so nice! I planted over 70 pots of seeds. There is green, yellow and green and white zucchini, Chinese cucumber, spaghetti squash, orange mini peppers, black bell pepper, brandy wine pink tomato, Rio Grand tomato, bush beans, and a half dozen variety of flowers (annuals). I'm now out of pots. In 6 weeks I should have a pretty nice garden. I already have onions, radishes, chives and 32 lettuce plants. I will plant carrots and spinach directly into the raised beds tomorrow. Oh the things I could do if only my yard was bigger! I will have loads of plants started to bring to my friend Petra. Thank God she is letting me borrow some of her yard! I’m so tired I could go to bed without dinner! I'm so glad to see the sun!

The garden does that you work so long because you missed the sun and dinner doesn't matter. It's a great weight loss program.
I'm like our cat I get fat in the winter, and smaller in the summer.

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

The Opel Agilia

I think I don't want to spend the money for the VW New Beetle. It's a very cute and safe car, but cost about 17,000Euros new. I can find it for 13,000Euros (this is the most basic model) but that's more then I would want to spend. I don't really drive that much. I'm pretty cheep at heart. I need real value for my money. I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi
