Well, Hope, when I have a problem to solve, I beat it to death until I know it all. I figure I can do most anything, I just have to find the answer how to do it. Starting gardening meant do the research as problems came up. I write about those problems because I figure someone else may have that problem, too, and could be helped by the research.

I won't stop gardening since I am a prepper and if the SHTF, I need to know how to grow food plants and have the seeds and equipment to do it.

Johnny was right when he told me at the beginning that seeds and water and dirt doesn't mean you can grow food plants. I found out ground dirt is evil stuff harboring deadly insects and mold and other blights, and I found out cute squirrels and pretty birds are killers.

I started war against all those enemies after finding out the truth about some of nature's products, both moving creatures and organisms that kill.

Gardening is a mental and physical understanding of one’s surroundings and how they work. :o)
