Read it here: http://www.jandjacres.net/2013/12/23/garden-preparation/ Here in East-Central Mississippi it is already time to start thinking about our next planting season! A week or so ago I asked a group on Facebook if they thought I could plant another crop of Turnips, and they advised not to. However, I was also told that in January I should be planting English Peas and Potatoes! So, it is off to the planning board! Winter Garden Some things have managed to live and grow through the cold. Our own Black Seeded Simpson Lettuces (grown from our own seed we harvested this last summer) are growing extremely slowly, but are growing. One of the Red Romaine Lettuces is still growing as well. The Bunching Onion is doing just fine too - plump for the eating, but not growing any. I hope that they might bolt in spring so we can save some seed from them! I also have another plant growing - though of course my previously poor record keeping has my scratching my head. I think it is a cabbage, but darn if I know! Vegetable Garden Preparation I spent some time pulling out the old plants and raking the wood chips around in order to pull out some weeds. The wood chips seem well decomposed as there is only a light covering of visible wood chips any longer. We will now start laying down more rabbit manure over the next month to help build the nutrients back up before we sow the seeds. We are also going to plant some potatoes, but those will be planted in a large tub. I was so frustrated with the grubs getting to our potatoes last year that I want to grow them in a more controlled environment this year. Not using any insecticides or herbicides can be daunting, but it is worth it. Vegetable Garden Planning I really want a larger garden this year, but for now it is time to focus on the next plantings. Rabbit manure needs to be laid, wood needs to be chipped and spread. But most importantly a trellis of some sort needs to be built for the peas to grow on. Thankfully we are already in a nice sunny area that runs from East to West, so there should not be any problems with location. The hardest thing for me is to remain focused on this season of growing and not try to build a trellis big enough to feed the county. We still plan to use wood chips as a covering, Back to Eden style. So stay tuned for the 2014 version of our garden! (And cross your fingers that come the end of the season our fruit trees decide to give us a little fruit for the first time as well!)

so what, exactly, is in your food? how about crushed beetle fetuses? beaver anal glands? sound appetizing? watch the sixth of a series of small nuggets about veganism. be sure to subscribe so you don't miss out on the next nugget! For more info, helpful links, and a free pamphlet download: http://www.bitesizevegan.com/ this vid in a "nugget-shell": we don't always know what the ingredients in our food really are (nor how to pronounce them)! here we take a look inside, starting with what our food animals eat. this wonderful array of ingredients includes, but is not limited to, roadkill, dead pets, diseased animals, rejected parts, and poop. then there is the poop actually in your food. the majority of beef contains feces, now termed a "cosmetic blemish" and allowed by the USDA. poultry in the US particularly, is bloated with "fecal soup," basically shit-contaminated water absorbed by the bird carcasses as they cool in a massive tank. then there are the drugs: antibiotics, steroids, growth hormones, etc. and how about the pus in milk? rethinking that mustache? we also look into natural and artificial flavors and additives, both of which are nowhere near "natural." this is where we find our crushed beetle fetuses, ammoniated beef (pink slime), bacteriaphages, beaver anal glands (castoreum) and more! and ps- this video totally was under 5 minutes in iMovie. i don't know what youtube's deal is ;)

via NY Times: "It turns out that arsenic has routinely been fed to poultry (and sometimes hogs) because it reduces infections and makes flesh an appetizing shade of pink. There's no evidence that such low levels of arsenic harm either chickens or the people eating them, but still..." Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss some of the other chemicals in our food. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/05/opinion/kristof-arsenic-in-our-chicken.html Subscribe to The Young Turks: http://bit.ly/eWuu5i The Largest Online New Show in the World.

With information on building soil fertility, replacing purchased feed, and working with poultry in the garden. The most comprehensive and definitive guide to date on raising all-natural poultry, for homesteaders or farmers seeking to close their loop, The Small-Scale Poultry Flock offers a practical and integrative model for working with chickens and other domestic fowl, based entirely on natural systems. Including extensive information on: Formulating and making your own feed How to breed and brood the flock (for breed improvement and for genetic conservation), including the most complete guide to working with broody hens available anywhere Providing more of the flock's feed from sources grown or self-foraged on the home place, including production of live protein feeds using earthworms and soldier grubs Using poultry to increase soil fertility, control crop-damaging insects, and tmake compost—including systems for pasturing and tillage of cover crops and weeds Step-by-step butchering—one of the best guides available—complete with extensive illustrative photos. No other book on raising poultry takes an entirely whole-systems approach, nor discusses producing homegrown feed and breeding in such detail. This is a truly invaluable and groundbreaking guide that will lead farmers and homesteaders into a new world of self-reliance and enjoyment.

Is chicken good for you? Is the chicken that you buy healthy? Are the chickens that you eating healthy? Bryan Marcel goes out to a pastured chicken farm, then goes into a major chicken grower's chicken coop. The chicken that you buy from any of the big names: Pilgrim's Pride, Tyson or Perdue were raised just like the conventional chickens in the video (This video was filmed at one of their growers). The American people have no idea that antibiotics, growth stimulants and arsenic is added to the food (GMO corn) that the chickens are fed. The chicken's food is medicated. The arsenic that is added to the chickens food is passed on to you through the chickens meat. The label "natural" means next to nothing. Natural chicken applies to how the chicken was processed. A Nautural chicken is fed the same food that a regular chicken is fed. It's all marketing. Organic chickens are not fed these additives. Organic chicken is a step in the right direction. Pastured poultry (pastured chicken) is the gold standard of how chickens should be raised. Pastured poultry (pastured chicken) truely is natural chicken. Pastured poultry (pastured chicken) tastes better and has more nutrition than a regular conventional chicken. There is a reason why the conventional chicken that you buy at your grocery store is cheap. That reason will harm your health. You are what you eat. http://www.BryanMarcel.com
