BUNGEE CORDS - I realize any one smart enough to be listening to Patara may already know this but just in case. We used a bungee cord in our motor home and when I released it I was hit in the eye. The eye globe burst and 3 surgeries later I was told my eye couldn't be saved. God blessed me with a bit of light coming in so the Dr. decided to do more tests and I still have my eye 17 yrs later. My mother happened to have a tumor on her optic nerve and had her eye removed years before. I was not a bit frightened with the Lord holding my hand (and a wonderful husband too). Be very careful...apparently this happens more than you think. Just FYI for my fellow Patara family!!❤️

I really have to wonder, because years ago, when times got really tough we moved into a house in winter with a bag of beans, and my ex "accidentally" shot an elk (literally fell in the snow with his rifle, went off, and it hit and killed an elk) . We ate elk chili all winter. Then in spring, a volunteer garden appeared, with tomatoes, squash and onions. I've always called that "Gods garden" cause we desperately needed it and it appeared. I have to wonder, with all the comments below of "volunteers" whether they aren't just Gods tears for what we've come to.

Sending you a virtual hug ( ). The worry and concern you have for your boys was there in your face. I have a grandson in the reserves now, so I understand. Thank you for caring and continuing to teach and do all you can to help others. We will have to be spiritual strong to handle what is coming. As you say, "stay busy".

[@bruceschmidt758]

There's a incredible loss of pollinators this year reducing the harvest. I suggest we hand pollinate our plants.

[@saddleridge4364]

Same here in SE PA, it worries me. I will hand pollinate anything I have to. I use a little Q-tip, it works well. Better to have the extra tedium, than no produce.

[@lisalapoint7022]

The last two years I'd have at least 40 bees a day --all day-- in my garden. This year, none. Three I did see couldn't fly and were struggling. I don;t spray any chemicals anywhere. NE PA.

[@daughterofmyabba]

I'm noticing that too, only seeing bumblebees, saw one lone honey bee about a week ago. My garden and yard are full of flowers, where are the bees?

[@mondolilith7917]

Although your a bit younger than me you’re like the mother I always dreamed of! I’ve been on the preparing path since the turn of the century. My father and maternal grandfather were far ahead of the curve and taught me so much… but your concern and loving approach fills that void in amongst the practicality. My garden is flourishing, my home repairs are almost up to date, and my family and I are living life!

War, famine. “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.” Matthew 24:7,8. Fear: “whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You “

There is a lot more going on, I agree.

[@elizabethherschleb7313]

I have a son who is currently serving in the Air Force and will complete his time in November. My youngest son came to me today to inform me that he is enlisting into the Air Force and is planning to go in January. I have to say this second time around I feel more nervous about my youngest going into serve than I did when my older boy joined. The world is in a different place so it is uncomfortable to think about. We have a rule of thought when it comes to joining. If you are going to serve may it be in the air. Closer to God ensures you not getting stuck in between life and death. Or at least that is the hope. The best view is in the sky. I love my babies and don’t ever want them to suffer.

[@fendi5319]

Goodness! It must be so satisfying to have such a garden 🪴. You are one hard working mama! 👏👏👏

[@jenniferrevilla5298]

Thanks Patara! Just want to say I bought a pkg of Okra from the Dollar Tree a few weeks ago. I put them between 2 damp paper towels in a plastic sandwich container for 2 days. They all sprouted and I planted, ,2 days later they were up. I put outside yesterday. They are growing great, now have to get them in the ground. My Dollar Tree seeds have outperformed my big label seeds.

[@velocityakaslothmom8083]

Right at the beginning of the season you said to buy a lot extra seeds I went and bought Everything I normally plant three times. So that if my family needs seeds next year I have plenty to share. And I am letting a few things of lettuce and radishes and things go to seed as we speak

I watch every one of your shows! I love your pep talks but your instructional videos are second to none! I have always wanted your lifestyle but never pulled the trigger. Kids are grown now. I have been gathering supplies I will need (Incubator, All-American 21.5...) I am listening for The Lord's timing and I am praying I can get out of my Urban situation in time to set up for future events. Your channel has given me so much knowledge that I feel well-prepared. Can you make a seed saving video? How to dry them out enough, when to plant...

[@boogiesrevenge2087]

She said something about a book the other day, Seed to Seed I think it was.

[@boogiesrevenge2087]

Thank you for the inspiration! Finally got my garden in this week!! Better late than never, and I still have 4 months of growing season left.

[@sandylee8184]

I picked up several extra cans yesterday, our gas prices have dropped below $5 in some stores in central IL, I am going to make an additional order tomorrow from Sams to have delivered, I lucked into chicken quarters for .69 a pound for a 10-pound bag, I only got 1 because I didn't have space for a second bag, but 1 is better than nothing. I am planning to prepare for planting next year, getting 5-gallon buckets, bagged soil, seeds, and fertilizer, I am starting a compost pile. Going to try to get someone to put up a fence, looking into grow lights, I wish I could do it all at once. My plan evolves every day. Thank You for all the information.

[@Bev437Sqn]

If you get grow lights you can grow some things all winter, lettuce, radish, Swiss chard, radish even dwarf cherry tomatoes.

[@mj-hk6iv]

@@Bev437Sqn 😎, I've been interested in getting a couple for years, but I'm afraid the basement will be to cold and I don't know where I would put them upstairs. Any suggestions? I was thinking an enclosed box of some sort in the basement.

[@Bev437Sqn]

@@mj-hk6iv I don't know how cold your basement gets but the things I mentioned to grow are all cool weather crops except the tomato so as long as it is about 60F they may grow slow but they will grow. You can use a heating pad or a heated grow mat to get them started.

Yesterday I butchered a 15.5 lb beef brisket, got 3lbs of fat I've been rendering for tallow (lard) and cut up the rest into cubes, strips and roasts,all in all have 14 pts of meat in the pressure canner this morning. Make sure you are stocked up on canning goods and canning meat cause that is protein and our brains NEED it. Take care 💅

[@backroadsusa6915]

If you watch with all these food shortages and factories burning am and chicken diseases and all the culling they are literally attacking all of our protein our meat our eggs are peanut butter because protein we need for our brains and for strength. Can as much protein as you can!

Yep. My biggest and most difficult project this week is to get my prescriptions dealt with. Been a real chore but getting close to cooperation on all prescriptions for at least a 90 day supply on hand. Down to one I cannot order a years worth until tomorrow (90 day increments). Two are life saving for me (not diabetic). Grocery run tomorrow to fill in with sale items and items I would feel more comfortable if I had more. Wal Mart delivery just dropped off a few more items. Between hubby and I we are trying to keep ahead of the madness the best we can.

My Mom always told me to get Missouri Wonders instead of Kentucky Wonders. I grew them a couple of years, and they had a great taste and prolific. Another pole bean I recommend is one that originated in WV, and that is the Logan Giant, I love it. You touched a warm place in my heart when speaking of boys going to war. I was reminded of my grandmother who spent many worried moments as my two uncles served in Korea. We still have a picture where the large family was sitting and holding pictures of the two sons serving in Korea. The harmonizing sisters sang in harmony often in the forties an old outdated song called, “They’re Fighting in Korea.” Both boys came home safely.
