Starting plants from seed

Planting Heirloom tomatoes seeds today. God willing, we will have maybe 1000 plants to give away by April 19th. I would be happy to give a few 100 plants to your church or school, or even your friends, neighbors and family. If anyone wants to help us transplant seedlings, label plants, or help donate potting soil then let me know. We will most likely have one work day around April 12th. This year we are also planting sunflowers, lettuce, cucumbers, kale, peppers, squash, pumpkins, cabbages, and maybe another 20 other vegetables to be given away at the FEG Heidelberg on April 19th (both services). If you have friends that want to garden, bring them to church on April 19th. They will walk away with a garden worth of free plants. And even if you just have a balcony, you can grow a tomato plant, and a few heads of lettuce. We want to bless you and teach you to grow your own food.

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
