The great tomato give away

Today Nicole gave away a few hundred tomatoes at our church and made over 200 euro for our sola summer camp scholarship. So far we have made the money for 5 scholarships. My friend

had a very cool idea. Next year we should have a garden day. Different people will start a variety of plants (one will do sunflowers, another onions, another zucchini etc.). And we will give it all away...a one stop whole garden. And raise money for kids to go to camp. I love this idea. Anything to get people to grow their own food. We still have allot of plants. I also have chili’s and peppers. I would love to find new homes for these plants before we go to Italy next week. But my house sitter will keep them alive if you want to pick them up after the vacation. Just let me know.

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
