Time to plan your garden and to start coops and barter groups

Bartering is making a comeback, and what better time than Garden planting and harvesting. Do you have room in your yard to expand your garden and allow for more plants to be planted in exchange for help with the garden and a share of the bounty?

We are planning on expanding our garden and begin year-round gardening and container growing tomatoes inside and canning and food savor bagging veggies and meats to preserve them and would love help as I am new and learning and it is more fun to do these tasks with others. Interested? comment below or email me.

Do you have dehydrator, canning supplies, pressure cooker, large pots you are not using that you would loan me, I can store them here in my "closet" on the back of my house.

Do you have tools, books, and other resources that you would loan to someone in exchange for another tool, book, or resource or a service you need?

Would you like to be part of a group who is "available and willing" to share and assist. I have started a database on the yahoo page to sign in your information, what you are offering and what you want/need. Check it out.. pass on the information to others that you know who will join us and make us Bright and Helpful so we can show the Holy Love.

The joy of toiling and nuturing a garden is a great thrill for many and such a relief to budgets and blessing to tables. But, too much of a good thing is a burden and when too much effort to find a good place to give the excess leads to waste of the bounty. Last year, we have jalapeno peppers coming out of ears and unfortunately we have some go to the compost pile, not a complete waste but this year I am hoping to develop a small scale food exchange and get a bartering group going.

If you are interested, comment below with your email address, your location, what vegetables you plant and the other vegetables you eat. When you plant your garden and when you buy your plants.

  1. Bartering is really becoming popular all over the world. I can recommend the Website http://www.barterquest.com

    Have a look, I am sure you find something to trade for your stuff. I found this Website few weeks ago and I'm really impressed. You can barter there for almost everything. Have a try
