I planted a little early, spun the wheel,

We may redo the back yard so doing a bucket or planter built-in w/ easy moving garden ya can eat makes sense. Ya see the price of veggies lately?

Berries have held steady pricewise but some fruit, no way. Fortunately we have a lot of smaller oriental markets locally that have decent produce at a good price.

Man must eat.

But going broke doing it

Is not a good option.

Yes. That was another motivation for gardening here. When spinach hit 3 bucks for a small package, and E coli recalls of spinach hit the news, that wasy it.

I planted a bunch of seeds of lettuce and spinach indoors, and starting growing my own. Peppers were also out of sight. So I started growing peppers, and of course there’s nothing like the taste of a home grown tomato especially compared to the taste of what passes for tomatoes at the grocery.

Now my goal is to get as independent of the grocery as I can, without using pesticides and canning/preserving stuff without weird sounding chemicals.
