Just some background. I'm Kassi Midwest born and bread, trucks, mud, bonfires, guns, sewing, knitting, baking. I do it all. My up bringing much like everyone elses plays a big part in my life and how I choose to do things. I'm the oldest of three kids, I come from the generation that spent summer days out side till the street light came on. When you could let your kids walk to someones house and not fear that something bad would happen to them. It's sad that society has changed that I can no longer allow my children to do some of the things that I was able to do. It's a shame. If I wasn't in school I was in the country with the grands, almost every weekend I can remember was spent there. Or at the field in the fall looking for the corn ears that the harvester missed, so I would have squirrel corn. My grands are depression children, and many of the skills I have I learn from watching my Grandma. For that I am blessed, grandpa every year would till both her garden beds. As the season went on there would be veggies and fruits everywhere. Potato's, strawberries, Brussel sprouts, green beans, peas, broccoli, lettuce, a plethora of more plants. the tiny plum tree that bore yummy fruit. My favorite were the Apple and Pear trees, you would have to be care full parking under the Pear tree during harvest time. It was known to just drop fruit and dent what ever was parked under it. I hope to attain Grandma's level or garden expertise, till this day she still throws all the fruit and veggie rinds and trimmings in her garden. You don't need fancy fertilizers, just some good old fashion know how. I hope to share this know how, if not for me as a journal for my children and future.
