seven pavers short...
Something to think about when thinking about growing your own food.
Really good article that you sent us to. I would say that the skill set you gain from growing so much of your own food also adds to the perceived value of the food. Anyone can throw money at a consumer item and buy it, but it takes skill to grow it, maintain it, and tend it. I know this because I unintentionally kill every plant that I come into contact with. Thankfully, I'm better with animals.

ReplyDeleteLooks like, every day, you're getting closer to getting the green house operational.
Looks like we'll be getting some rain. Hope some makes it out your way.
