Hi, I'm Marie! I've probably always been a bit gaga: I saved my first pocket money for a gardening book, I didn't want chocolate from my grandma, but instead chose a bag from her seed box, and for my 12th birthday I wanted nothing more than my own herd of goats (which I got :)).
I now have my own family and grow almost all of our fruit and vegetables myself. We get eggs, milk and meat from our chickens and sheep and because I would love to talk about self-sufficiency all day long (and at some point no one would listen to me anymore), I started sharing my experiences on the Internet. Now you'll get this. :D

I'm still waiting for potatoes and then all my beds will be empty! Then I can sew winter veg, and I already have some cover crop seeds ready to go (vetch, rye, etc.).
Beautiful surrounding !! Next time when you're in Nature be totally barefooted. Mother Nature delights to meet /caress our bare soles. She has loads of goodies to offer. We call her Mother Nature or Mama Earth because she looks after all things that grow and walk on her. The soles of our feet are like the roots of a tree. Just the way she feeds the plants and trees,so she does to us Humans too. All we need to do is to connect with her through the soles of our feet. Our soles have been designed to absorb free Electrons from the earth's surface. Apart from that walking on sand gravel and stones/ pebbles our entire body gets stimulated through the Sensors /Nerve endings which are created under our feet. Those sensors are placed /created for a purpose and that purpose is to go barefoot. Always remember our feet were meant / created to be bare. We humans are the only beings that walk with footwear and by that stupid move we have separated ourselves from this great relationship with Mama Earth. If you're not the type who walk barefoot at all. Start off from home. Be ALWAYS barefoot when you're at home( that's inside the house as well as in your garden ). You may feel uncomfortable at the very outset as the soles of your feet are soft and tender. But don't get discouraged ,move on..... they adjust faster than you think as they're meant created to be bare. Unless otherwise it's very very essential, don't wear any form of footwear. Let your soles enjoy the company of Mother Nature. She takes care of your feet and soles much better than you do. Your feet and soles love and deserve that freedom. Adopt barefoot lifestyle for good health and happy feet and soles
Wow Marie that eggplant is enormous 😮. My tomatoes are not ripe yet even with all our heat. What a fantastic harvest and why we toil in our gardens. Have an amazing week, Ali 🌞🇨🇦
