Become self-sufficient ala Good Neighbors.
The Britcom.
I miss my tomatoes.
How do you clean a tomato of COVID ?
Oh, gag......
In WW2 they were called Victory gardens. IIRC they grew so much food they allowed the food from the big farms to feed the military and meet other needs.
More self reliance - good
p
Can’t plant a garden till the end of May. Snow still on the ground and frost can happen till June 5th.

Yeah I hear ya.
But we are -all- in this war.
Victory gardens redux.
Hey, I’m all for gardening.
Been doing it myself and canning tomatoes from it for decades.
But racism and injustice in the food system????????
As if there aren’t enough REAL problems in this world to deal with, they have to virtue signal and make some up?????
I use Dawn, but not the stuff with the lotion or antibacterial.
Just the plain stuff.
My d-i-l was aghast that I was using regular Dawn to wash some produce (anything smooth, not broccoli for example) and I said, *Well, we wash our dishes in it and rinse them off and then eat off them. How is this any different?*
One of the few times I’ve left her speechless.

I agree, that social justice gardener lady —is— a goofy liberal.
But the veggies will grow just the same; the goal of —our— new Victory Gardens is self-sufficiency.
And freedom.
AMEN!!!!
All my young life my mother had a big garden and us youngins had to help in it. That is what fed us.
Dip it in 3% hydrogen peroxide (food grade is best) for about a minute and let it dry, rinse and eat. Same ingredients as water. See post 31 here .
To get Dawn off fully you need a lot of scrubbing or hot water. Instead see above post and link.
This I don’t get. Our stores are stripped of tp, paper towels, canned foods, rice, pasta, bread, etc. But the produce sections have all remained fully stocked. No one is buying it because you can’t really store it, or they don’t know how.
I barely use a drop, but you can tell by the feel if it’s all off.
The problem is, sometimes there’s food grade wax put on produce and H2O2 won’t cut that like soap will.
Maybe after the thorough washing, then the peroxide.
By the end of the year it will be spun differently, claiming that the Trump administration's border measures and quarantine turned everyone into paranoid heavily-armed survivalists.
