http://bluefeatherfarm.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html

Wednesday, March 28, 2012. Potatoes grown in containers were a fail. but we did get a small harvest of purple viking potatoes from an in ground patch. Not sure if we will plant those again, but if I do it will be IN GROUND for sure. Looking forward to 2012, if the spring weather doesn't turn, the gardens should be very productive. If it does go south, we have a small supply of frost blankets at the ready. Stay tuned for more photos, gardening tips, recipes and more. Tuesday, March 27, 2012. We are gettin...

http://kaya-helper.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html

Helping you help yourself through self sufficiency and sustainability. Saturday, June 16, 2012. A few days ago, we had our second (and third) tornado warning since being in our new home. It was the first, though, that was actually a dangerous situation. Our town actually had several touchdowns and a small amount of damage. We only ended up with a few small branches downed by the wind on our own property. One thing you should know is that our basement is a half basement, unfinished, and a hundred years ol...

Kaya Self Sufficiency: December 2012

http://kaya-helper.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html

Helping you help yourself through self sufficiency and sustainability. Monday, December 31, 2012. New Year, New Life? I'm not doing anything extraordinary or irregular. Let’s face it though when we prepare we are choosing the building blocks for the very bottom, the foundation, of Maslow’s hierarchy.

Will our young...

Kaya Self Sufficiency: The New Renaissance

http://kaya-helper.blogspot.com/2013/10/the-new-renaissance.html

Helping you help yourself through self sufficiency and sustainability. Saturday, October 5, 2013. Have I mentioned how much I hate the terms used to describe my interests? The terms used to pigeon hole and classify us, separating us into different groups instead of uniting us. Words like Prepper, survivalist, homesteader, and even self sufficiency.
