I’ve been working most of the day in the garden.  I planted 100’s of seeds.  My back hurts (I guess from lifting so much potting soil).  Today I planted over 30 kinds of plants….

Hard shell gourds
Zinnias of many sorts
Artichokes
Lobelias
Morning glories
Many sorts of pumpkins and squashes
Lettuces
Arcola
Many sorts of peppers and bell peppers
Mangold
Strawberries
Many sorts of heirloom tomatoes
Herbs like dill and Basel
Corn
Watermelon
Cantaloupe
Cucumbers
My entire greenhouse if full of potted seeds.  As long as I remember to water everything, we should get some pretty nice plants in the next few months.

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.

I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

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
