Spring is here - things are greening up and blossoms are beginning to pop! The time for preparation for harvest is now! There will be no peas, carrots, green beans, tomatoes or any other vegetable in the summer and fall if we do not prepare and plant today. There will be no fruit, or a poor harvest, if fruit trees aren’t cared for. Just like our fall harvest depends on spring preparation, so does long term “harvest” of a home storage begin with the preparation we do today. As we add to our family’s preparedness, remember the “Six P’s”: “Proper Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance”. Let us all plant those “P’s”!!
