We left our Phoenix garden to work on our container homes in Texas and boy were we surprised at what we found on our return -- a backyard grocery store! Even more... the garden had to fend for itself so it turned into a food forest within 6 months from rainwater -- in PHOENIX of all places ... and I didn’t even plant most of what's growing! It truly is Mother Nature at her best! Think about how much money you’ll save in food… and you know you’re getting the good stuff that keeps us healthy. It’s proof that there are no excuses. If you can have this much independent green in the desert, you can have it almost anywhere. So start with a pot, bed or just a small area... And start growing your own food. We have a planting calendar on our website if you need it… http://greendesert.org/Vegetable.html.

We are still in Texas, working on Phase 2 of our offgrid shipping container homes. In this episode, we focus on comfort and space. How much do you really need? These container homes are 360 square feet. Many people say, “That’s so small, how do you make it work?” The space feels perfect for my family, made us realize how much we waste. But, I must admit, storage has been one of my concerns. So we solve that problem in this episode: We built a nook that folds up and down, so now I have more counter space for the kitchen, a place for our laptops, an area to sit and stare at the gorgeous views, a place to eat… soooooo many uses. We also built storage under the bed, huge area to keep us organized! Plus, we are officially off the air mattress!!! Our Tuft & Needle bed came in. We got the Mint version and this was a huge deal because I have long-term back injuries from a car accident so I needed something comfortable, with lots of support. Back in my TV days, I remembered interviewing them when they first opened up like a decade ago and I’ve wanted one of their beds since then. It’s literally been about 10 years lol. I finally have the bed. We were so excited and impatient that we started sleeping on it before we had a base and I was still sold. Now I want to replace my bed in Phoenix. It’s comfy, has heat technology so it keeps the bed cool and it has a special foam motion so I can move around all I want without waking up my partner. I have to give Tuft & Needle a shoutout… they are based in our hometown, Phoenix.
