    I'd be jealous, but I am just happy I managed to find a spot to actually get some basil seeds to sprout!

    You could always build a little produce stand - set it up by the road and have the kids staff it - for a piece of the profits of course. You could offer the raw veggies, and even some of what has been processed into "whatever".

    With the amount of attempted child abductions around this neck of the woods lately, (2 actually abducted while staffing a small produce stand) that's a non-starter. Besides, most produce stands around here operate on the honor system.

    It is, however, a possibility for next year.

    The amount of produce just means we'll eat well this winter, without having to buy veg at the grocery store.

    It also means someone has to get his tuckus in gear making shelves for canned stuff.

    Perhaps shelf-building is something Angel's Human could help with? Building skill is always good to pass on!

    Hmmm, just the thought of fresh tomatoes (I live in Alaska, afterall) is making my stomach growl.

    Suggestions: Open an ETSY shop and sell them online. (I get a couple of jars of blackberry preserves and jalapeno's every year from ETSY shops).
    Local foodbank? Our's is always looking for those extra canned goods that you don't need.
    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.

    The church food bank is already getting roughly 20 quarts of frozen beans, there will be more going to them, don't know what, though.

    I'm probably going to just take a box or two of tomatoes up to work and let anyone who wants 'em take them.

    The kids follow me into the workshop routinely.

    They're both getting to be pretty handy. I'm about to turn Angel's Human loose on changing the oil in the car.
