We made a little progress in April towards our goal of becoming more self reliant as a family. I am happy about the couple of things that we have accomplished.
During the month of April we have been baking more bread at home and buying less at the store. My kids have even been using the bread for sandwiches, so it is working out quite well. I shared with you how I prep a month’s worth of bread mixes because it makes baking the bread quicker and easier. I loved having everything pre-made, it made baking the homemade bread a breeze. I will be prepping more mixes for May too.
Our garden area was way overgrown, so we had lots of work to do to in order to prep it for planting.
I found my clearance gardening tools that I picked up last year on clearance at Target and we got to work.
The entire family pitched in to get the job done.
This guy lasted for about 10 minutes and then he switched to searching for bugs.
We are almost all ready to start planting. We hope to get the planting accomplished this weekend.
Last week, I picked up some veggie starts using a voucher I bought from Living Social. I have never used starts before, but since we are getting a later start than usual, I thought it would be a great way to go with a few of the veggies.
How is everybody else doing? Anybody else getting their garden started?
