The tall red celery, top purple turnip, red romaine lettuce and watermelon radish seeds has given such a wonderful harvest this year. I finally found the perfect sowing time for the root vegetable seeds. I let the tall red celery flower last year and it self-seeded freely this year giving us more than hundred seedlings or plants all around our place.Malay-Kadazan girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09692400837667241873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7636358068441886242.post-52573633961710071752012-09-04T06:08:04.698-07:002012-09-04T06:08:04.698-07:00JoyceP - The apple in the picture is a wild one gr...JoyceP - The apple in the picture is a wild one growing in an old long forgotton orchard, unfortunately it was flooded out by beavers and the apple tree has died...they were good apples though. Most of our hardwood cuttings, except for the hawthorns that never did root, are now happy little plants growing quite well. The garden is doing exceptionally good this year and I'm especially excited about the squash which have been a tough one for us the past couple of years.

As much as I hate to say it I don't think these figures would be the same if most of Russia had access to Walmart and credit cards. People have a way of striving for a 'better life' by making things worse for themselves.

But here in America, The Regime would rather have us all on food stamps, idle, and complacent. As Dani pointed out, the police state is regulating gardens, raw milk, and yards while allowing corporate giants to embezzle and investors to short the USD.

That is ideally what American's should be striving for in order to thrive in the age of climate change and depleted resources.

It was simply a symbol of poverty and a means for survival. I'm all for self-sufficiency and I rely on the fact that I can go out and buy shit when I need it.

In fact we wondered if we were going to starve our first winter since we did not have access to any land to grow food. In the early days of openness, food in the shops was scarce. A potato truck pulled up in front of our apartment house and I bought a 50 pound sack. Thus we were saved from being very hungry our first winter!<br />AimeeAimee Hennennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7636358068441886242.post-30025599303965885552012-08-08T03:39:07.238-07:002012-08-08T03:39:07.238-07:00Wow you are back you have been missed.
