got help

Nicole is by far my best helper in the garden.  In fact, it's more true to say I help her.  She loves the garden.  And I thought I would not have her help for awhile.  But she has an afternoon workshop this week.  So she helped me all morning.  And I hope we can also work together tomorrow.  We filled 2 raised beds with compost and soil.  Then we planted them with tomatoes.  We also moved the sweet potatoes out of the green house, and planted that raised bed with more tomatoes.  So far we have 40 tomatoes planted in the green house, and another 10 in the garden.  I think I'll try to plant another 20 in the garden.  Then I have about 150 to 200 more to sell.  I was going to give them away, but now Nicole wants to sell them.  She is planning on going to Cyprus this fall on a Missions trip for 6 weeks.  So she wants to raise some of the money selling off the extra tomatoes.  So if you want Heirloom tomatoes, they now cost 1Euro each.  You could have gotten them free yesterday, but you snoozed...and loosed!

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
