jpegghost | Do People Still Use The Farmer's Almanac?

So. Getting a HOME home is rapidly becoming a non-option. Due to the housing crash, a lot of rental homes that are owned by independent, mom and pop owners are getting outright bought by realtors and flipped for jacked up prices to rent. Everything in our price range was bad (as in, tiles falling off the houses. Dead geckos all over the floor. FOR 1700 A MONTH.)

That's why I've been quiet on that front. House hunting has all but stopped, and we just begrudgingly accepted apartment living to stack cash. With our budget we were lucky enough to get approved for a very nice apartment by a local park, so I'm looking forward to that. We are visiting today to look at things and measure things, then go to IKEA to get some odds and ends. Maybe I'll even take pictures of this new apartment?!

Now that I can't have a big fantastical garden, I'm thinking of other things to do. Like, small scale. Checking the Farmer's Almanac, it looks like I just missed the Fall planting dates for just about everything except kale. Maybe I will grow some kale until December/January comes, then I can grow everything else. NOTHING BUT KALE TO EAT FOR DAYS.

I still have the ~Homemaker's Chat~ saved from the old USDA files. Maybe I'll ... shit idk pickle some of that kale?! WHAT DO PEOPLE DO WITH KALE????
