Time to bring back Victory Gardens!

I'm at the point, if I can't grow it, I won't eat it.

It's really remarkable that a lot more of us aren't dead. I've known a couple of produce people who have gotten sick from handling the veggies from south of the border. They'll use any chemical they can get their hands on down there.

I’m joining you. Recently I’ve bought strawberry plants, blueberry, raspberry, and blackberry bushes. We cut down a tree and more than doubled the size of our vegetable garden. I do as much canning and freezing of local farm grown produce as I can. Sadly, about the only thing I can’t do myself is the grain!

We’re lucky to live near New Hope Mills, a local grain mill that deals a lot with local products. I just called them and was told that they do not buy grain from China but do have other items from there. I was the second call this morning on the issue and now they’re going to start looking into it more closely.
