Ah ha, Only yesterday I was wondering how your garden was doing and hey presto, here you are. I'm becoming a true master of this manifestation thing:):)
I was listening to a farmer in the UK recently saying that he could plant little this year as many of his last year's crops were still stuck in the fields along with his heavy machinery. He was predicting serious food shortages. Not for me or you though. I have enough food here to feed a multitude.

I'll bet you do! How has your peas harvest been? I only planted a short row of snow peas, which made so many peas I got sick of them. Next year, I hope to get busier with peas, the shelling kind, which I adore. Do you do anything besides freeze them? Dehydrate maybe?
I've also got three bags of potatoes going, three varieties. I haven't eaten many potatoes in my life, because store bought tastes so awful. But after growing some and seeing the difference there, I've tripled them. I think of you every time I look at my potatoes, and imagine your eating them dripping with good butter.
You've probably got enough food for years. If the apocalypse happens this year, I'll be good for one year only.
Hey if you make a garden journal post for this month, there's a prepper's prize. There's a few days left.
No, I do nothing but freeze them. I tried to get an interest in canning but it looks far too complicated for my meagre abilities. I have loads of potatoes planted but there have been so many blight warnings it'll be interesting to see how they do. The weather here has been horrendous and peas need sunshine. I count myself lucky to have the dome and greenhouse for cucumbers, melons and greens. I've even tried a few potatoes inside.
I'll do a post tomorrow if it's not lashing rain. I've been meaning to do one for weeks but I've been so bloody busy, doing what I'm not sure.
Speaking of potatoes and food shortages, our farmers in Idaho have been ordered to not water their fields. Say buh bye to potatoes this year. I'll have a bunch though! Last year I had potatoes in storage into December, and hope to have them around a bit longer this year. I wonder if they pressure can well. I'll try it!
It seems to be happening in Australia too, farmers being ordered not to water crops. Scary stuff.
