MAY PREPAREDNESS GOALS

Is it May already? Yikes, I am behind...again! Here are my goals to accomplish this month. Join me if you would like!

*The young women in our ward are going to the dry pack cannery for a service project. All I have to do is sign up for what I want and write out the check. Love how easy that is!

*But this one is not so easy...gotta plant my garden this month, that is, if it ever stops snowing! (I am actually loving the snow because it gives me a great excuse to snuggle up with a book instead of doing yard work. I'm guilty!) I have some seeds left over from last year, and I'll run to the garden store to get the few that I need. Plus, I heard a great trick to keep the weeds down in your garden; spread used carpet, backing-side up, over the garden, then cut it as needed to plant, in rows, or circles for sqaush, etc. I have heard several people swear by this method, and if the carpet is ugly, no one has to know because the fuzzy side faces down! Brilliant! I am definately going to try it this year! (And I happen to know that carpet stores throw away TONS of old carpet every day...just ask them if you can go dumpster diving and I'm sure they will be happy to oblige you.) By the way, having a weed-free garden is more important to me than having a perfectly beautiful one, if you can't tell :)
