This post is about gardening, which is what we are gearing up for currently. If you aren't interested in gardening, feel free to skip this post. Then again, this film is so neat you might want to watch it "just 'cuz". Here's the trailer.
This guy, Paul Gautschi has the most incredible garden and method of gardening I've ever seen! So incredibly simple, yet very successful, just the way God designed it to be. Paul is a believer, and gives all credit and glory to God. Refreshing!
Here's where you can watch the entire film: Back to Eden
Such an incredible amount of gardening information in this film! I can't wait to show it to Matt. Last year, our garden was such a flop. Basically, we got loads of zucchini, a few green beans, and a couple of tomatoes. Everything died from the 108 degree temps we had, or was eaten by bugs. Not exactly what we'd hoped for. We are arming ourselves with information in order to have a much more successful year!
You can get a pretty good summary of the film over at Homestead Revival, which is where I heard about it. Thanks for sharing, Amy!
I'd love to hear what you think about it!

Week 1 Book Review: The Best Life Diet by Bob Greene
OK, so I know I posted I was reading something different last week. I'm still reading that book. But, I was already reading The Best Life Diet and finished it first, so it gets reviewed first!
I also know this book has been out a few years and so you all may have already read it. I had not. So, I finally did.
My husband and I decided this year we would make the switch to eating whole foods. No more fast food, processed foods, sodas and all that yucky stuff. So, I set out to find some good books to read that would have some great healthy recipes in them.
Off we went to Half-Price Books (my favorite store!) and what do you think I found??? A stack of great "diet" books in the clearance section for $1 a piece!!! Holy moly, was I excited! I promptly snatched them all up and proudly showed my hubby my great finds :) Of course, he loves it when he can get out of that store only spending a few bucks! We buy oh-so-many books :)
The Best Life Diet was a really good read. If you are looking for information on cooking healthier and just making better food choices, this is a good one to read. Surprisingly, Bob doesn't want you to start out immediately changing your diet. He wants you to get moving first to see if it makes a big improvement in your weight/health. We were both already exercising and ready to change our eating habits, so we aren't waiting.
After you come to a point where you are not seeing any more progress, then he has you change your diet. They are good changes, too. We have been eating very well! My hubby was afraid he would be eating rice cakes and feel hungry all the time ;) Not so! In fact, last week we had the Beef Fajita and Guacamole recipe from Bob's book and it was absolutely de-lish!
The Best Life Diet is a no-nonsense, practical guide to eating healthy. It just makes sense.
You just have to be ready to change what your doing.
We were ready.
Are you?
