Day 8 of our LetPot ​⁠ hydroponic growing system lettuce, chard, Tiny Tim cherry tomatoes, spinach and thyme growing well.

20/12/2023

Only 5 more days until Christmas, and for some of you that probably means your are very busy. Remember to take time out of your holidays to relax and enjoy time with your family. The best gift we can give our loved ones is time. Being around those who love you and that you love is priceless. We hope all of you enjoy your holidays this year, and remember to take care of yourself. Often times we over work ourselves and it's time we never get back. Be blessed and stay safe, from your friends here at Ploughmans Backyard.

Many people wonder why I choose to homeschool, why I chose to give up the conventional lifestyle for a life of a stay at home mom, a gardener, a homesteader and an entrepreneur. This is it. I am needed most AT HOME. My influence and time is better utilized raising the next generation, where I am irreplaceable.
