Building the Garden

Getting Some Yard Work Done

Today the weather is beautiful and with it being the first day of the week, and a US "holiday" tomorrow, it's a perfect time to get our garden going for the yard.

I'm finding all sorts of weeds and yard issues, one by one they're getting taken care of.

Building Work Endurance

I'm amazed just how quickly I get exhausted working in the yard. All that means is that I need to spend more time on my feet, using my muscles, getting things DONE!

We were very blessed with lots and lots of onions. We haven't been able to use them quickly enough and many of them have sprouted. They're still edible, but given just how many we have, most of them are going into the compost.

It's a bigger pile than I imagined initially. All these should break down (eventually) into excellent dirt, it will just take time.

I moved the middle dirt pile to the right to break down some more, it's almost ready for use. Next I bring the "raw" pile and flip it to the middle. At the bottom are all the onions. I wonder if any of them will make their way to the top of the pile!

Taking the decomposing bottom and bringing it to the top, thankfully I have straw too cover it up and help bring it to a new pile of dark and fertile composted soil.

Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin

We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.

No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13

Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny

Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.

Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books.

Great post! Thank you for sharing not only information about BBH and THEBBHPROJECT, but also valuable educational materials for kids. The Tuttle Twins is an interesting initiative, especially for those who care about teaching independent thinking and values. And the garden update with the compost and onions – top notch!

Thank you so much for your very thoughtful and kind comment. I'm doing what I can to encourage positive family values and ethics, especially the doctrines of freedom and righteous living. Attempting to return to daily posting, as before, and this comment is a further inspiration to do this. Thank you again! !BBH

Can't you sell them?

Once they sprout to maturity, they loose resale value. Perhaps neighbors would take them, but our parents next door didn't want them and even our household couldn't eat them fast enough. I never like wasting food, but at least this way we'll get very nutrient-rich soil from them to help our garden provide an abundance of other vegetables. !BBH

I really don't like waste, especially all these onions, but once they sprout, they're unwanted by most people. It's my hope that all these onions will become an investment of fertile dirt for us to grow an abundance of other vegetables for our family. !BBH
