I appreciate that you are so thorough in your tutorials for visual learners like me. Your posts and tutorials show your love of teaching others how to be more self sufficient, whether they are homesteaders, yard gardeners, or people like me who get their produce from local Farmers Markets. When I think about what I’ve learned and accomplished, I know this class is truly one of the best investments I’ve ever made in my family’s health and well-being. Thank you, Melissa!! fought blight in my tomatoes for years and after watching your video I've had less problems. I added the extra calcium when planting, kept my leaving trimmed from the bases, and just that alone made a huge difference. I've been asked by so many people what my secret was because they had no luck this year! Thank you!
– Kathy P.
Thank you for being such an influence in my life when I have no one around me to show me these skills. You are changing my life in ways you can’t imagine. Thanks again!!
