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.

Hello, pioneering Today podcast listeners. So today I want to talk about growing your own food at home and specifically crops and foods that we grow at home that we don't purchase from the store.

So we grow enough of these crops and these foods to get us through the entire

year until the next year when the growing season starts again for whatever the specific item

may be. And so I'm super excited to talk to this because about this with you guys today

because I don't know about you guys but I swear every time I go to the grocery store lately

it seems that the price of food just keeps going up and up and of

course our wages and cost of living isn't rising well along with that in equal

proportion so I feel like that I'm starting to spend more and more money when I grow to the grocery store, but I'm getting less and less food.

And even though I've considered myself a fairly frugal shopper and we do grow quite a bit of our stuff at home.

You know, there's still things that I need to buy at the grocery store.

And so this really got me thinking about what foods that we do grow that I don't ever have to purchase from the grocery store.

And of course my goal is to increase those foods so that we're less dependent upon the grocery store and keeps our bank account more in the black and not in the red.
