Our mission is to help others with homesteading and preparedness for the glory of GOD. The word homesteading in modern day language means self-sufficiency. We have a deep love for it. We use heirloon seeds in our garden and mostly organic plants. Our organic food in our garden is delicious because of heirloom seeds. John has a degree in horticulture. Jerrie has some home-ec- education. We grow a organic garden. We buy as much organic food as we can. We do not like the genetic food and we try to educate people on the good organic food. We like homesteading chickens and rabbits and the good organic food from them. We believe we are living in difficult times and self-sufficiency is important. We get so much happiness and joy from our garden every year. http://www.organicconsumers.org/politics/security101105.cfm GROW YOUR OWN FOOD OR BUY AT YOUR LOCAL FARMERS MARKET.

THE BOUNTIFUL CONTAINER BY ROSE MARIE NICHOLS MCGEE AND MAGGIE STUCKEY CREATE CONTAINER GARDENS OF VEGETABLES, HERBS, FRUITS AND EDIBLE FLOWERS. Discover a world far beyond the expected cherry tomato in a flowerpot. A world with virtually no weeds, no soilborne diseases, and no overplanting, where you can fine-tune sun and shade and bring perennials indoors for the winter. With few exceptions, everything edible that's grown in the traditional garden can be successfully raised in a container. Which means that even if you have just one pot on the balcony or patio, delicious fresh produce can be yours for the harvesting. TWO GREAT IDEAS FOR POTS ARE : SWISS CHARD, LETTUCE AND ORGANO. ANOTHER IDEA IS SAVORY, THYME, CHIVES, MARJORAM, ROSEMARY, AND BAY. THE BOOK HAS CLEAR AND EASY DIRECTIONS. VEGETABLES FOR EVERY SEASON. 21 Varieties of beans, including favas, peppers from sweet orange valencias, dwarf eggplants, fingerling potatoes; 17 terrific tomatoes; lettuce and asian greens like bokchoy, and chinese kale. HERBS, including basils green and purple, lemongrass , saffron crocus, and the essential culinary herbs such as parsley, rosemary, sage, tarragon, and the many thymes. FRUITS: Meyer lemons, strawberries, gooseberries, figs and even apples, peaches, and grapes. EDIBLE FLOWERS, like tart begonias, peppery nasturtiums, clove-spicy dianthus, and sweet daylilies, to add enchantment to meals. Complete with all the basics of choosing the right containers, determining soil types, applying fertilizers, and knowing when to start from seed and when to start from seedlings. ROSE MARIE NICHOLS MCGEE IS AN EXPERT HORTICULTURIST AND PRESIDENT OF NICHOLS GARDEN NURSERY, ONE OF AMERICA'S PREEMINENT SPECIALTY SEED COMPANIES. SHE IS ALSO THE AUTHOR OF BASIC HERB COOKERY. MAGGIE STUCKEY IS THE AUTHOR OF A NUMBER OF GARDENING BOOKS, INCLUDING GARDENING FROM THE GROUND UP AND THE HOUSEPLANT ENCYCLEPEDIA. BOTH AUTHORS GARDEN IN CONTAINERS IN OREGON'S WILLAMETTE VALLEY. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK. WE USE IT EVEN IF WE HAVE A LARGE GARDEN. IT IS VERY GOOD INFORMATION FOR THE PLANTS IN CONTAINERS WHEN THE WEATHER IS BAD. WE CAN JUST BRING THEM IN THE HOUSE UNTIL THE WEATHER CLEARS UP. WE ALSO USE THE BOOK IN THE WINTER AS WE BRING MANY POTS INSIDE THE HOUSE FOR THE WINTER.

PREPAREDNESS WE BELIEVE THAT PREPAREDNESS IS IMPORTANT TODAY. REASONS TO PREPARE ARE EARTHQUAKES, TORNADOES, NUCLEAR FALLOUT, FLOODS, DROUGHTS, POWER OUTAGES, THUNDERSTORMS, LIGHTNING AND TRUCKS THAT STOP DELIVERING. DO NOT FORGET WE ARE HAVING A WAR AND THAT PRICES ARE GOING UP AND THERE ARE SHORTAGES. AT MARY'S HOMESTEAD WE TALK A LOT ABOUT ORGANIC FOOD, GROWING IT AND SHOPPING FOR THE BEST ORGANIC FOOD. WE CAN, DRY, FREEZE, AND PICKLE IT. HOWEVER, THERE ARE OTHER KINDS OF PREPAREDNESS THAT ARE IMPORTANT. WATER IS THE MOST IMPORTANT. YOU WILL NEED AT LEAST 14 GALLONS PER PERSON FOR 2 WEEKS. YOU CAN NOT LIVE WITHOUT WATER. THERE ARE MANY OTHER ITEMS ALSO, MEDICINES, FIRST AID, FUEL, HEAT, BOOKS, A BIBLE, HEIRLOOM GARDEN SEEDS, GAS FOR COOKING AND MUCH MORE. PLEASE PREPARE ! WE ALSO DO IT FOR OUR GRANDCHILDREN. PLEASE DO IT FOR THE NEXT GENERATION !
