Yes my Grandma told me the starving time stories, I've had a few myself so I truly appreciate growing my own food...the markets are rigged and I don't trust government/corporate food/energy/transportation grids because of my Grandma's stories and my history lessons...Mao cutting off his rebellious people's food grid and millions starved to death. That's why I always save fresh seeds and rotate them out every year, just in case, I also save potatoes for the spring...I am cra-cra-crazy lololol
We ate pigweed when I was a kid and my Mom ran out of money...;-)
Me too! I wound up with an acre of collard greens one year and not much else! And I hate polenta!
