Well DH isn't having much luck. Seems in order to building or even restore the barn he needs permits and he has been told no. So. Now we don't know what to do since the money has been used to get items to make the restoration. Nice, right? So back to square one and he is trying to find a job. I have been selling stuff on Amazon but now that has fallen through. Seems people don;t know how to read and are very impatient. Most of our items take 28 days and most dont have a problem with that. But a handful have given us bad reviews that they didn't get there stuff in a few days and now Amazon has closed our account. Even though every item says shipped out in 28 days this didnt matter to them. What mattered was the customer was not satifised. So now we are trying to sell stuff on Ecrater. I hope this pans out. Will be adding more stuff tonight I hope.
So that is about it in a nutshell. Hoping for some good news soon.

New Place New Plantings
When major changes take place in your life they are either good or bad. We had what started out bad turn into something very good. Under circumstances we couldn't control we had to sell our home in a short amount of time. Needless to say we didn't get anywhere near what we should have gotten. But with that said we needed a game plan. Trying to think of things at the last minute was stressful. So we came up with one. I would go and stay with my mom and family in New York while my DH restores his family's old dairy barn. We gave ourselves about a year to get this done right since we will have less money than what you would normally have. DH will be doing most of the work himself with things he can't do will be done by family and friends.
I have to say the hardest thing is being apart. He has no internet and the phone service is terrible. He is busy and so I am. I am helping my mom go through stuff here for garage sales and just getting a bit more organized.
Yesterday I planted in containers some green peppers and Roma tomatoes. Today I will be planting some eggplant. Mom has alot of herbs and tomatoes she planted. Weather here has been cool. Being back home alot has changed. I have been adding videos to my youtube channel and need to update this blog so i can post them here since this one is linked to my channel.
This weekend we are going to the local fleamarket and look for vintage things to sell on ebay. Mostly cameras and books.

Growing Seeds In Recycled Contianers
It has now started to get warmer which I am sooo happy about. Time to start the seeds inside. But wait... I don't have plastic seed starter packs or pots to start them in. That's ok if you don't either. You can use what's around you. In this video I show you what I planted in. Can anyone else say they don't like the sound of their own voice? ( lol )
I will be doing another video in the coming days. I have planted corn, carrots, beets and peas outside. Happy Plantings!

2013 Garden Update
I am back and we have made some major updates with our garden. I even have started posting videos on our youtube channel. If you happen to go and visit our channel I would like to apologize for the quality of the videos. I am using an old smart phone to film with and the quality is not that good. We do have a small video camera but its not digital and takes tapes and i can't get anything to load up to my computer. I am trying to save up for a flip camera at least since they seem to be cheaper. I have seen some on Amazon that are used. But we will make due with what we have. That seems to be our moto lately for the past few years. Once you see the garden adn backyard coming together you will see why.
Here is a video of last years garden that didnt do so well. We had rain so much it just rotted everything I planted.
It's a little rough but then we borrowed a tiller from our friend and Tim got it set up real nice. Oh be warned the tiller is really loud so you might want to turn down your volume. We weren't able to fill the garden up with alot of dirt because of the cost. But in the fall when growing seaon is through we will be getting more dirt and compost together. I will be posting another video soon of some added things to the garden and what I just planted. We also have 5 gallon buckets of potatoes too. Which are doing really good.
