Another chance


Another chance

Depending on where you live and how you live, grow some food you can both eat, and defend while it grows for you to harvest and then eat.

Think of your own local threats to your own food supply, whether it be local humans or even local wildlife that sure gets hungry, too. Even rabbits can eat leaves that many of our vegetables need to grow, for example.

You may become popular with your own Family and Friends, too.  They will get hungry, also.

And you can even make gifts out of your efforts, too. This especially applies to situations where special gifts with your own local labels are appreciated, often in a best case kind of situation. Just make sure you keep you food gifts healthy, like kill the germs and viruses and funguses that may lurk in them. In the old time terms, this idea and process is called “canning”. None of this is “rocket science”.

Hunger and eating has a way of equalizing a lot of us.

Whether you live in a city, or in a rural area, grow some food as best you can.

Even during our last World War (circa the 1940’s) most of our Farm grown food in the USA went to feeding our soldiers, and we had to grow our own gardens for our own (like at your home) food vegetable supplies. And there was still animal hunting and trapping and snaring going on, too.

And whether your efforts are in a local garden area, or just potted plants like on a porch, do the best you can and with what you have got to deal with.

Last, think about your own circumstances where you live.  It is still not too late to grow some vegetables you plant for harvest this fall. Then you can even take these plants in to winter over the cold season, which is surely coming.
