RE: Fit for a king!

And I am sure no one does it better! Nor could they write about their pizza or burger better.

Make better burgers today. I'm trying to do a play on a couple of recent US white house mottos, but it's pretty lame

You've only been growing your own food for five years?! You sure don't do anything half way. You put me and my tiny garden to shame.

Sort:  

Six years ago, Martin Armstrong's computer predicted some imminent disaster that would result in millions being unemployed and he advised getting out of the city. We immediately upped sticks and moved to the country the day before lockdown. How fortunate we were. And nothing could put your tiny garden to shame! I have even adopted your raised bed idea for my strawberries. So there!

Thanks for the compliment! I'm getting quite a lot of food out of my tiny garden, at least half of what I eat, so I am pretty proud of it.

lol I gotta tell ya, those strawberries appear to have survived a very harsh winter in that planter, with no attempt to protect it. I'm kind flummoxed about it, because I hadn't planned to use it for strawberries again this year, and I got plenty frozen to last me for one more. But it was spectacular! It was disease free! And productive!

Good time to move to the sticks! I was stuck in the suburbs. I called everyone I knew and asked "are you social distancing?" If they said yes, I took them off my friends list. If they said no, I hightailed it over to their houses. I walked the wrong way in the grocery stores and parks, for my sanity! My home remained exactly the same. When I see people still doing the nonsense (quarantining for ten days after any positive test, and at least three days after a subsequent negative test, for instance) I know they have been brain damaged.

I did exactly the same and not a single person challenged me, though I did get quite a few disapproving stares. The only thing I couldn't do without a mask was to get on the bus to Dublin without being arrested, and I didn't fancy that.
I still have frozen strawberries too but you can never have too many strawberries!

I used to agree, but now I certainly can have too many strawberries, because I also have loads of frozen raspberries. I'm madly eating those. I hate canning, so the jelly I intended to make, never got made. In three months, I will have lots of them fresh. I'm thinking of letting the birds take as many as they want.

What a problem we have...too much food! I have food popping up everywhere and April/May are supposed to be the hungry gap.

Honing it all down to what you need and will actually like eating is part of the learning curve, a big part. I feel a post coming on...

Go on, go on, go on, go on.........
