aunty- your confusing me....he said surviving not making a living...i keep reading his post and your post and im not sure where the disconnect is...... it looks like you both have very similar views.....and i agree with both of you.

personally i am getting ready to get my garden going this week and i will be growing more of my own food this year than ever before.....im excited to learn how to stage things so i can have a perpetual harvest going over many months and not just a bunch of food at once in the fall
