If you want to learn how to use herbs medicinally and not only medicinally but also grow them,

I can think of little else that gets me excited as knowing I can literally grow our medicine right outside our back door, then you, my friend, are going to want to make

sure that you are registered and signed up for our herbal summer series. This is completely free, though you definitely could charge for it because it is

packed with information. Once you sign up starting in August, every week you are going to get an email from me going over my top 10 favorite herbs.

Each week we are going to pick one of those herbs and do a deep dive on how to grow that herb,

but more importantly, how to use it, including safety, and if you should use it or not if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

We go through all of the cautions, the medicinal properties, and its uses.

So when you get done done you will have in your pocket and hopefully by

that point in your medicine cabinet my favorite top 10 herbs to always have at the ready. Go to Melissa K Norris.com forward slash

summer herb and make sure that you get registered. Summer school is in session and it has never been better.

Welcome to the Pioneer Today podcast. This is episode number 81 and this is a very special episode.

This is where I get to interview my dad and share with you his wisdom

from growing up during the Great Depression and then even beyond them because they still

lived without electricity, without indoor plumbing, and raising almost everything themselves.

So you get to hear what it was like from someone who really lived during that time.

And it was so much fun because I got to learn new

things too. There was things that I didn't even know that he shared on here so it

was a learning experience for me and I'm really excited that I get to share it with you guys. My dad is Tom

Delanger and he's here with us today. Just a little bit of housekeeping notes

when we mentioned certain things so where my dad was raised at we still call the homestead and it is a house

and it's still standing and it still doesn't have electricity it's wired you can hook up a

generator or a battery but it's not really wired for electricity.
