Yup.  I'm still working on it but only trees really work for me,
though I get other things in smaller amounts.  Lettuce and green
onions equal to our needs.  Most years lots of bell peppers.
 
Current project, source some plant warmers and better seedling
pots yhat I can use year after year.

 
The United States imports about 15% of its food supply or
$204 billion worth.  People fucking around in their backyards
are never going to make up for that.

 
Why not?  People sure used to.  100 years ago, poor people didn't
have a food-stamps card.  Grow it yourself, or starve.

Does this ditz really think that increasing food prices can be

Anyways, I join here to talk food related items, not trade insults.
I'll end the thread with Cindy because no one wants to see that, me
least of all.

PS: Oh, here Cindy has us importing only 15%, elsewhere she has us
importing a whole lot more, maybe she went for *all imports*, not just
food? She leaves us guessing as no link.  No matter but that's why mine
came with links and were clearly just food.

I already ended it.  I get tired of trying to crowbar open her
head and put information into it.
