Hope you all have had a chance to check out my youtube channel. I just made another short  one tonight, just have to do the voice over. I've always wondered about the different things you can use in an emergency for tinder to get a fire going. So, the video is of me using the following items and seeing first, if they lite up and then if so, do they stay lit long enough to get a fire going. I used: dryer lint, corn chip and walnut( I've heard that on facebook from a few different sites, that because of the high oil content, they would work),a crayon and a natural wood fiber nugget. Check out my video later tomorrow and see what worked and what didn't!!  Please, like,share,comment and subscribe to my channel, thanks Mrs. Prepper

Since its spring, I'm going to talk a little bit about planting. I started my indoor planting a bit early, like back in late Feb! Was just a wee bit impatient. Now I have about 50 some tomato plants around 8-14 inches tall, both kidney beans and jacobs golden cattleman dry beans, also the same height, a few peppers,pickling cuc's.
I've tried a couple different ways of starting the seeds. Bought the pellets that you soak in water and they expand, the seedling trays where you just add the soil, homemade newspaper pots. I've had the most success with the pellets. Now, as for transplanting into bigger pots and yes you do need to do this, they quickly out grew their little starters. Unless you have unlimited money, especially after buying grow lights ( I have 8) several bags of soil,stands to set everything on, it can get pricey. So instead of buying larger pots, unless I find some at a thrift store, I've devised a better way. Gallon milk or water jugs, rinsed out, just cut around the top, about 4 inches, right thru the handle, but you want to leave most of handle intact, that way you have a way to carry it. Just remember to poke several holes in bottom for drainage and place in a pie tin or whatever tray you have on hand. Happy planting! Mrs. Prepper

Sorry about the lack of posts. Was sick for a week or 2 with bronchitis and sinus infection, then lost my job after 5 1/2 years. So kind of been recouping from all that. I've started a youtube channel and I'll be giving you the link and I should be back to posting here in a day or so.Mrs. Prepperhttps://www.youtube.com/user/superpotaoman300

As I've stated previously, I have been getting alot of heirloom seeds. Well, I'm sure I'm starting a bit early, but in the last week I've planted several varieties of seeds. They include: greystripe sunflower, black heirloom sweet bell peppers(purple beauty), black cherry tomato, black russian tomato, atomic red carrots and black seeded simpson lettuce. I also started an indoor herb garden. Can you tell I'm sooo over winter yet?!!
I'll take some pics in the next day or so and post them. The first two trays we planted early last week or so and some are already an inch or so tall! Mrs. Prepper

Wow, time ran away from me again!  Just going to jump right to it then. I'm sure I can't be the only one who deals with leftovers from lunch or supper.  I really hate just throwing food away, I always picture these people that are starving and makes me feel guilty, you know?  Going to give a few examples of what to do with them and it really falls into prepping as well, since if a serious event occurs, you'll be making do with whatever. So, say you have 2-3 days worth of some leftover veggies, for the most part it doesn't make a diff what kind. Well, I'll make a big pot of soup and throw them in and since the veggies are already cooked, won't take quite as long. Sometimes I'll miss measure how much pasta I make for spaghetti and I've saved it in a ziplock for a couple days and make an italian bake with it. Now that we have a juicer, whenever we have some fresh fruits that are starting to get a wee bit ripe, we throw them in the juicer along with either, juice,yogurt,ice, depends on the consistency we are wanting. Also, when we have fresh celery, when I cut the leafy ends, I place in a ziplock and save to put in either a soup or in with some baked chicken. Don't know if these tips save much money, but makes me feel better at not wasting what can still be used. Mrs. Prepper
