Pot it There - Container Gardening Even YOU Can Do

By: John Davidson,Darla Noble

Pot it There Container Gardening Even YOU Can Do Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1 Container Gardening Basics Chapter 2 A Pot by Many Other Names Can Still be a Pot Chapter 3 Potable Flowers Chapter 4 Potable Plants Chapter 5. Food in Pots Chapter 6. Caring for your Container Garden Chapter 7. Pretty Posies Chapter 8. Closing Remarks Author Bio Introduction Gardening is one of the easiest and best ways to feel accomplished, work off a bit of stress and make the world a little more beautiful…even if it’s just your own little corner of the world. Unfortunately, many people think gardening isn’t for them. They think they don’t have room, don’t have a green enough thumb or don’t have the time to garden. Are you one of these people? If so, this book is going to change your mind and make your world a more colorful, sweet-smelling place and add some flavor to your kitchen. The room necessary for container gardening can be as small as a ledge on a porch rail or the top of a nightstand. Or if you are fortunate enough to have a deck, patio, porch or even a bit of lawn space, container gardening is an option for you. As for having a green thumb, don’t worry. It’s more important that you have thumbs (and fingers) willing to get dirty. While it is true that some plants are more difficult to grow than others, there are dozens of plants that require minimal care while still providing color, pleasant scents and even air purifying benefits inside and outside of your home. The time it takes to plant and care for container gardens is also minimal. Even if you have numerous pots of plants, you will not have nearly as much time invested in those as you would in-ground flower beds and gardens. So you see, it is possible for you to enjoy growing plants and flowers in containers…successfully. If you already enjoy gardening but want to use something besides the standard clay pots seen everywhere and need a little help deciding what can and cannot be successfully grown in pots, this book is going to be your new go-to for creating gardens that will beautify your home and possibly even put food on your table. This book will introduce you to new and unique options for pots—things you might never have thought of using otherwise. You will also be challenged to get your creative juices flowing in mixing and matching plants for attractive containers that will be the envy of everyone in the neighborhood.

Living Off the Land - A Beginner’s Guide to Being Self-sufficient

By: Darla Noble,John Davidson

Living Off the Land - A Beginner’s Guide to Being Self-sufficient Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1: It’s What You Do With What You’ve Got That Matters Proper management includes keeping your pastures in good shape. Chapter 2: Moo, Bah, Cluck And Oink Chapter 3: Eat Your Veggies Chapter 4: Fruits, Herbs And Flowers Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction There’s a little bit of pioneer spirit in all of us. We can’t help it…it’s in our blood. For some this pioneer spirit shows itself in someone’s determination to climb to the top of the corporate ladder. But for others, this pioneer spirit takes them back to their roots…literally; giving them the desire to be self-sufficient to the greatest extent possible. If you are reading this book you are most likely someone wanting to be more self-sufficient. Good for you! With the cost of food going higher and higher every week (literally) and the nearly-constant revelations of the negative effects of chemicals, processed foods and other things we ingest, it’s a shame more people aren’t willing to do more to get back to the basics of providing for themselves. Yes, it’s true you may raise a few eyebrows or be asked if you’re hooked on reruns of “Little House on the Prairie”, but that’s okay. Besides, I bet those same people will be wishing they would have been a little less critical when you’re giving away excess produce. Anyway…the purpose of this book is to give you the direction and encouragement you need to be able to be as self-sufficient as possible. So without further ado…let’s get started.

Successful Shepherding - Management + Preparation = Healthy Sheep

By: Darla Noble,John Davidson

Successful Shepherding - Management + Preparation = Healthy Sheep Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1: Pre-Lambing Chapter 2: It’s Time Chapter 3: I Feel so Baaaad Chapter 4: Something is not Right Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Contrary to the opinions of many, sheep are an excellent choice when it comes to farming and raising livestock. Sheep are easily managed when managed properly and consistently (as should be the case with all livestock) and are profitable due to the fact that lamb is a highly sought-after meat. But just like anything else, the profitability depends upon the quality of your product. You cannot expect to get top-market prices for sub-standard animals. Knowing how to raise healthy, hardy sheep is the key to profitability. And know you will…if you take the time to become familiar with what lies within the pages of this book. By doing so you will be ready for lambing, be able to spot a potential problem before it becomes one and make management decisions that will make your flock stand head and shoulders above the rest.

Beautiful, Budget-friendly Weddings

By: Darla Noble,John Davidson

Beautiful, Budget-friendly Weddings Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1 What is a budget-friendly wedding Chapter 2 How to have a budget-friendly wedding Chapter 3 Before the big day Chapter 4 THE dress Chapter 5 The wedding party Chapter 6 Goin’ to the chapel of love Chapter 7 Pictures, posies and pretties Chapter 8 Let’s celebrate Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Weddings are a wonderful thing; the beginning of a new family—the ultimate commitment and declaration of love. But weddings are also something else. They are big business. Each year over 4 million couples in the U.S. say “I do”. That’s a pretty impressive number, but the fact that the average amount spent on these weddings is over $25,000 is almost unbelievable. It’s also something else…absolutely absurd. There is absolute no plausible reason for spending that kind of money on a wedding even if you (or your dad) can afford to. Why would you do that considering the fact that it is completely possible to have a lovely, tasteful wedding for a fraction of the cost? Yes, it’s true. You can get married in style without going into debt, ‘robbing’ your parents’ retirement fund or starting your married life in a state of poverty (or at the very least, a stretched budget). Within the pages of this book you will find suggestions for cutting the costs of getting married without skimping on beauty and elegance.

Managing and Marketing Sheep - Tools and Techniques for Every Shepherd

By: Darla Noble,John Davidson

Managing and Marketing Sheep - Tools and Techniques for Every Shepherd Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1 Getting Off to the Right Start Chapter 2 Feeding Ewes and Rams Chapter 3 Feeding Lambs Correctly Chapter 4 Let's Get Down to Business Chapter 5 Techniques and Tools for Marketing Conclusion Author Bio Introduction The keys to raising sheep for profit lie in management and marketing. Managing your flock to achieve optimal health, growth and productivity in the most cost-productive manner is absolutely essential if you wish to market your animals for the best possible price. Rather simplistic sounding, isn’t it? It can be—if you follow a few basic guidelines and remember: You can’t starve a profit out of your animals. No one has as much to gain or lose as you do from managing and marketing your flock, so no one should work as hard as you do. Both of these statements should be at the core of your business plan (yes, farming on even a small scale should be viewed as a business) and the purpose of this book is to help you a) get to that point or b) give you an ‘atta boy and a few ideas to take you to the next level of production and profit

Keep or Toss? That is the Question - De-cluttering Your House and Your Life

By: Darla Noble,John Davidson

Keep or Toss…That is the Question - De-cluttering Your House and Your Life Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1: Why De-Clutter Your House Reasons for de-cluttering your house Chapter 2: How to De-clutter Your House Tips for de-cluttering: Chapter 3: Why De-Clutter Your Life Chapter 4: How to De-Clutter Your Life Tips for de-cluttering your life Chapter 5: What to Do With All That Stuff Financial Records Personal Items Food Household Items Closing Comments Author Bio Publisher Introduction America is known as the land of opportunity and the land of plenty. There was a time, though, when people were far more content with much less. Closets weren’t filled with clothes, shoes and purses. Families did not have multiple sets of dishes to eat from. One was the number of televisions in a home and everyone watched together. So what happened to make us start believing we needed so much more than our parents and grandparents did? Are we better? Smarter? More entitled? Certainly not! I think we developed the mindset of needing more for no other reason than there are more things to have and they are all right here and readily available to us. Thankfully, though, more and more people are beginning to see the futility of having so much stuff. More and more people are realizing our parents and grandparents knew what they were talking about when they spoke of ‘the simple life’ and are trading their excess belongings for more time and space to do what really matters…spend time with the people they love and do the things they really enjoy doing. The purpose of this book is to help you de-clutter your life; to get rid of things you don’t need and to help you see the benefit of not being so attached to material possessions. So gather a few (or several) boxes and even some trash bags because a simpler and less cluttered life truly is a better life.

Katahdin Hair Sheep - Raising a Profitable Breed of Sheep

By: Darla Noble,John Davidson

Katahdin Hair Sheep - Raising a Profitable Breed of Sheep Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1: What are Katahdin Hair Sheep Chapter 2: The Katahdin Advantage Chapter 3: Selecting Katahdin Sheep for your Flock Chapter 4: Reaping the Benefits of the Katahdin Breed Closing Remarks Author Bio Introduction More than a few people would use words like ‘dumb’ and ‘stupid’ to describe sheep. Not me. I use words like ‘trusting’, ‘habitual’ and ‘profitable’. I use these words because they are what I know sheep to be. As someone who spent over twenty years as a shepherd to several hundred head of sheep, I can say in no uncertain terms that I know the potential for sheep when it comes to making your farm a profitable business. The degree of profitability, however, depends upon the quality of your sheep. And when it comes to quality, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better breed of sheep than the Katahdin. Katahdin are hair sheep; meaning they don’t have wool. So yes, if your intentions for raising sheep are for spinning, you will need to choose a wool breed known for the quality of their wool. But if it’s meat production you are after, look no further than the Katahdin.

A Beginner’s Guide to Raising Sheep - Don’t Be Dumb About Raising Sheep…Because They Aren’t

By: Darla Noble,John Davidson

The Basics of Raising Sheep - Don’t Be Dumb About Raising Sheep…Because They Aren’t Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1: Being Prepared… it’s More than Just a Motto Chapter 2: Fencing Chapter 3: The Three Essentials—Food, Water and Shelter Chapter 4: I Pick Ewe Chapter 5: Hello, my Name is Shepherd Conclusion Author Bio Introduction Most people consider sheep to be cute, wooly…and dumb. These same people would be wrong. The truth of the matter is sheep are cute and wooly, but as for being dumb…while it is true that some breeds of sheep are less resilient than others and don’t do very well in the mothering department, the word ‘trusting’ is a much more appropriate adjective to describe these wonderful (yes, wonderful!) animals. There are a few other adjectives which aptly describe sheep: manageable, functional and profitable. Whether you have a couple of acres or a couple of hundred acres—sheep have much to offer in the way of an agricultural venture as long as you do it right. That’s where this book comes in. “I cannot tell you how many times I’ve turned people away wanting to buy sheep; telling them to come see me when they are actually ready to buy.” –Darla Noble That’s what this book is all about; getting you ready to raise sheep. Based upon the assumption that you’ve decided that’s what you want to do, we will tell you: *How to prepare yourself and your property to raise sheep *What you need to raise sheep *How to select sheep for your farm *The primary functions of a shepherd (that’s you!)

It’s a form of educational entertainment. There’s something else you need to know about agri-tourism, though…well, actually two something’s: 1) agri-tourism can work for almost every farm in some way, shape or form. 2) agri-tourism is virtually limitless but requires you to think outside the box and beyond the normal mindset and perceptions of what farming is. Oh, yes, and one more thing…agri-tourism can be the way in which you financially enhance your farm’s profitability.

Ways to Sell What You Grow - Making Money with Your Farm Selling Agricultural Products

By: Darla Noble,John Davidson

Ways to Sell What You Grow - Making Money with Your Farm Selling Agricultural Products Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1: Agriculture and the Internet Chapter 2: Networking Equals Sales Chapter 3: Local Outlets Chapter 4: Cutting out the Middle Man Chapter 5: Good Business Conclusion Author Bio Introduction There was a time when farmers took their excess eggs, cream, and butter to town on Saturday to trade for coffee, sugar, flour, baking powder, and other things such as nails, fabric, and shoes they couldn’t grow or produce for themselves. The store owner would then have eggs, cream, and butter to sell to the people living in the community who did not farm. The ‘system’ worked; everyone’s needs were met and they were happy. That’s not the way it is done today, though, is it? Today’s farmers are either: A—large-scale producers who grow and sell commercially for a large corporation such as Del Monte®, Tyson® or one of the other major players in the industry. These farmers depend on government policies and programs and the businessman’s thoughts and decisions in regards to what is going to put the most money in their pockets. This leaves these farmers wearing two very big hats—the one of farmer and the one of businessman trying to meet the demands of corporate America. B—small producers (like you, most likely) who raise and produce livestock, food, and grain/hay for themselves and (hopefully) some of the people living in their own community who buy what they take to the farmer’s market or directly off their farm. This does somewhat resemble the days of old, except for the fact that you have a much smaller customer base. I say this because the number of people buying from the grocery store is vastly larger than the number of people buying from people like you. But what would you say if I told you there are ways to narrow those margins and to make your products available to the masses without being swallowed up by the corporate jungle? If you would say ‘sign me up’, then keep reading, because that’s what this book is all about. By reading this book you will discover ways to reach out to potential customers (literally) around the word. You will discover how and why networking can expand your earning potential, why the middle man isn’t always necessary, and how doing away with ‘him’ will increase your bank account. Yes, this will require you to put on a business hat, but it’s one that actually fits and can be worn comfortably. So get comfortable and get ready to make your world-wide debut in the world of agriculture.

Pretty & Practical - The Many Uses of Plants & Flowers Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1: Plants on Patrol Chapter 2: Great Looks and Great Taste Chapter 3: Lending a Helping Hand Chapter 4: Paying it Forward Chapter 5: Giving Your Plants the TLC they Deserve Conclusion Author Bio Introduction When people think of flowers, two words usually come to mind. Those two words are pretty and fragrant. While both are accurate descriptions, most plants and flowers actually have jobs to do, if given the opportunity to do them. The trouble is that most people don’t know what those jobs are—until now, that is. Did you know you can use flowers and plants to keep the wasps and mosquitos at bay, to attract butterflies, or to ward off snakes? Doing so is just nature’s way of combining work with pleasure. The question is, will you do the same?

Turns Out you Can Grow Money - The Basics of Value-added Agriculture

Turns Out you Can Grow Money - The Basics of Value-added Agriculture Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1: You can Have your Hobby and Make Money, Too Chapter 2: The Rules of the Game Chapter 3: How to Get Started Chapter 4: Let’s Brainstorm Chapter 5: Let’s Talk Business Chapter 6: Helpful Resources Conclusion Author Bio Introduction Nearly fifteen years ago, co-author, Darla Noble, had some free time at an agricultural/farming expo she was participating in. As she meandered through the other exhibits, she happened onto a short seminar that was just beginning. The name of the seminar, Making Value-added Agriculture Work for You, intrigued her because she wasn’t quite sure what it was. Within minutes of taking her seat, however, Darla knew she wanted to hear everything Joan Benjamin had to say. The concept of value-added agriculture (VAA) is quite simple, really. It means using what you grow for more than one purpose; increasing its value and your earning potential. Darla knew, almost immediately, that value-added agriculture was something she could do to make her family’s farm even more profitable. So, that’s exactly what she did. And guess what…so can you!

Chickens Are Livestock, Too - A beginner’s guide to raising chickens

By: Darla Noble,John Davidson

Chickens Are Livestock, Too - A beginner’s guide to raising chickens Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1: Parts is Parts Chapter 2: Which Chickens are for You Chapter 3: Basic Chicken Care Chapter 4: When Something Goes Wrong Chapter 5: All About Egg Chapter 6: What You Need and Where to Get It Conclusion Author Bio Introduction “Who’d wanna eat a chicken?” asks the hen on Disney’s® animated movie, Home on the Range. The truth of the matter is, most people. Did you know that, according to the USDA, there are over 100 million chickens butchered every single day for human consumption in the United States? That’s a lot of chicken. That figure isn’t taking into consideration the number of eggs consumed each day—fried, scrambled or used in cooking and baking. Needless to say, chickens are pretty important. It’s no wonder that chickens are a favorite of so many wishing to have some sort of livestock to care for. Some even call them the city dweller’s answer to farming. This is because it is possible in most cities across the country to have under a dozen hens as long as you keep them confined to a coop and/or keep a wing clipped so they can’t fly. Sorry, though, no roosters allowed in town. All of these facts led to the writing of this book; a basic beginner’s guide to raising chickens. This book will introduce you to the different types and breeds of chickens, how to care for your chickens, how to identify and treat problems in your chickens and give you the basics of setting up and maintaining a chicken coop and yard. This book is not meant to serve as a replacement for guidance and education from those with years of experience in raising poultry and is not meant to replace the services of a veterinarian or other livestock expert. The purpose of this book is to give you the basics of poultry selection, care and management in order to enable you to have a healthy, productive flock of chickens.

The Gardener’s Pantry - Storing Away Food You Grow for the Winter Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1 The Basics of Freezing Fruits & Vegetables Chapter 2 The Basics of Canning Fruits & Vegetables Chapter 3 The Fruits of your Labor Chapter 4: Eat your Veggies Chapter 5: That Little Something Extra Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction There are dozens—okay, hundreds—of books on the market about how to preserve the food you grow in your garden.

Why are we putting one more book out there for you to choose from? Glad you asked… The purpose of this book is to give you a brief overview of why and how to preserve the food you grow before moving on to actually telling you how to treat different foods to get the best results when it comes to taste and texture of the foods you can or freeze. In other words, what you have before you is a guidebook; one that will take you step by step through the process of canning and freezing food for future use.

Living Large in Small Spaces - The Small House Advantage

By: Darla Noble,John Davidson

Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1: The Mess We Got Ourselves Into Chapter 2: Let’s Get Back to Reality Chapter 3: The Emotional Advantages of a Small House Chapter 4: The Practical Advantages of a Small House Chapter 5: Tips For Living With Less Space THE KITCHEN: THE BATHROOMS & LINEN CLOSET: BEDROOMS: THE LIVING AREA: CLOSETS: GUEST ROOM: THE GARAGE: Closing Comments Author Bio Publisher Introduction There was a time not so terribly long ago that families were larger than they are today, but lived in houses less than half the size we see dotting the neighborhoods of America. Families with as many as eight and nine children lived in houses less than 1,000 square feet in size! But then came the 1980s. Our country had forgotten the struggles of war, families were earning two incomes thanks to the women’s movement and greed for bigger and better became the norm. Even hair was big! Houses were not immune from America’s fixation on big, either. In spite of record-high interest rates, houses went from an average of 1,000-1,700 square feet to 2,500 square feet and up! The need for big is still just about everywhere you look. Big drinks, super-sized fast-food meals, big television sets and big houses…society has spent the last few decades obsessed with BIG. The big house obsession, however, is waning. The reduction in the size of houses being built and those that are selling best, stems from a number of reasons. The reasons for the decline in the size of houses American families prefer is the focus of this book. So as you read, ask yourself if you and your family are ready to take the plunge from too big to just right.

Flame of God

The Fire of the Holy Spirit in Spain

Flame of God

The Fire of the Holy Spirit in Spain

By: Darla Milne

BE IGNITED! Are you frustrated by your lack of power to live an authentic Christian life? Do you want more boldness to share the Good News of Christ? Do you desire the gifts of the Holy Spirit to be manifested in your life? American missionary Daniel Del Vecchio moved in miracles, healings, and deliverance while ministering in Cuba, Mexico, and Spain. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, he reached out to backpacking youth traveling through Torremolinos in the 1970s and 80s, spearheading an international Christian community and evangelical churches in Spain. These communities opened drug rehabilitation centers and cared for the poor and marginalized and those suffering from trauma and abuse. Light always overcomes the darkness! Flame of God reads like a modern-day book of Acts. It will encourage you to obey the Word of God, to step out boldly as Christ’s ambassador, and to persevere through trials, sacrifice, and opposition. Your faith will be ignited! “The fire of the Holy Spirit can burn in millions of hearts, if we don’t allow the love of the world to extinguish it” (Dan Del Vecchio). The joy of the Lord is contagious! We aren’t all called to be pioneering missionaries, but we all have a part to play in God's strategy to reach our neighbors and the nations!

Winning Your Battle

Spirit Vs. Flesh

By: James Evers,Darla Noble,Jean Boles,Marlene Madden

As a Christian, you must fight. You must fight hard to win against Satan and the temptations he puts in front of you. You are created in the image of God, and part of that image is to enjoy beautiful things. And because the female body is a beautiful thing, males enjoy looking at it. But...God tells us that there is a time and a place for everything under the sun (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8). The time and place for a man to enjoy a female body is marriage. That's it. No more. Nothing else. No exceptions.
