Sounds good, but have y’all checked the price of fertilizer lately? It’s doubled, at least. Seeds have gone up too. OTOH, people who don’t garden are in for an even bigger shock. We’ve lived a long time with reasonable food prices. I think we’re about to see that come to a crashing halt.

Using food for fuel is a stupid idea. Sure, it’s renewable, but think about the repercussions. For once, the farmer is getting a decent price for corn and soybeans. Follow that path a little farther. Deisel is out of sight. Feed is made of protein—gained from corn and soybeans. The farmer’s costs, as always, keep going up. End result—food is going to cost more. Add the cost of fuel to that...

Any of y’all see that article last week about Hatians eating mud pies? Sad, so sad.

Please add me to your ping list. Mr. sneakers loves gardening, and it’s starting to look more attractive to me as well! I do some canning and freezing, and would like to expand my knowledge there as well.

Thanks,
sneakers
