• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Our land is ready for planting and the seedlings are started and we are just waiting on a chicken wire fence to go it.

So when I saw this, it was interesting:

I do not have TV so will not be able to see it unless there is a way online.
This made sense in the article:

Top it off that my extended family members spend a bunch on riding mowers and weed killers, and lawn fertilizer. It makes more sense to grow food.

We have the garden but also some lawn and fruit trees.

Lawn is good for children to play games on but you do need to set aside some of your plot for growing other things esp food. If you dont have good soil try container plants or raised beds.

A vege plot can become very intensive though and many ppl dont want to water it its a lot of work. Mowing the lawn is relatively easy, now with petrol mowers but i personally dont like it, noisy and waste of gas. I dont know if people still use push mowers ive never seen them.
