So what did you put away this week?

My tomato seeds sprouted and are a few inches high.

No fertilizer, herbicide or insecticide.

 

Lots of hydrogen peroxide. A local chain was clearance their stock, I think they are changing the label. Since there are so many uses, you can never have too much!

 

More silver--I'm clawing and scratching, nickel and diming any silver I can get.

 

At a local gun show a guy was selling Silver rounds a spot $19.85, went to an ATM for a second purchase.

 

Is that "your" rainwater?

Collecting rainwater now illegal in many states as Big Government claims ownership over our water

(NaturalNews) Many of the freedoms we enjoy here in the U.S. are quickly eroding as the nation transforms from the land of the free into the land of the enslaved, but what I'm about to share with you takes the assault on our freedoms to a whole new level. You may not be aware of this, but many Western states, including Utah, Washington and Colorado, have long outlawed individuals from collecting rainwater on their own properties because, according to officials, that rain belongs to someone else.

As bizarre as it sounds, laws restricting property owners from "diverting" water that falls on their own homes and land have been on the books for quite some time in many Western states. Only recently, as droughts and renewed interest in water conservation methods have become more common, have individuals and business owners started butting heads with law enforcement over the practice of collecting rainwater for personal use.

 

Makes sense. I don't know how/why I was never backhanded as a child for tilting my head back and opening my mouth to the rain. My parents never corrected me; it was obviously very wrong of them.

Put back six 9 oz. baby bottles, about 40 lb of baby clothes in varying sizes, one baby throat/nose plunger, 10 cloth diapers, 16 baby spoons (don't ask...$1.87, I had to say yes), a gargantuan bottle of head to toe baby wash, and NO rain water...

 

Lots of good sales today. Got 2 blueberry plants(unknown variety) for $2 each. A (12pack) 'case' of canned diced tomatoes, 2 (plastic) 48oz containers of EVOO for $4.48 each, mom got some clothes at the K-mart that's going out of business in Klamath Falls(also got good price there on some fluorscent bulbs we needed), BiMart had cans of Hills Bros coffee for $4.99, our cat food brand for $3 off, and a friend is getting us a 25lb bag of sugar on sale, in exchange for all we've done for them lately. There is lots more I can't think of right now, was 7-8 hours out and about doing shopping today.

 

Sure is a lot of places closing down and laying off people. Heard somewhere today everything coming from the white house is backwards , so when the say the economy is getting better it's real bad.

 

Rain collection :What the hell is that, you put out a bucket to collect rain in Arizona it will be filled with dirt along time before it ever gets wet.

 

Maybe some of you should research what the old chuck wagons that crossed the wild west carried! I would think flour, salt, beans, coffee, ammo, beef jerky, or meat that was cured to withstand heat, water, blankets, horse shoes, some tools.

 

Oh pork chops, that was another deal, got a 10lb box for $10.

 

Everything I own + the dogs, kids and a very skeptical wife. (Out to a BOL for vacation and to listen to what russia is up to on the radio for a few weeks)

 

@VHestin clearance fruit plants, I am so envious.

 

Aridzonia, I like that one, Problem is rainfall here has been less then 3" a year for the last ten years. Sometimes we've went an entire year without rain.Phoenix and Tucson with like 8 million people are in trouble real soon if this drought continues. I don't believe a collection system would work here.

 

Well I am concerned that they aren't marked as to variety(so I would know cold-hardiness), so I will grow them in BIG pots and keep my fingers crossed(and pray).

 

Just saw a nice set up in rural S.Carolina. It has three cisterns, geo thermal heating/cooling, ponds, chickens, horses, excellent FOF, and well off the road. Lots of passive solar and energy. Was very impressed.
