Its been my experience that gardening and canning cost more than the stuff in the stores. Cheaper to eat out.

It would, if one had to go and buy in a store, every tool and jar that one needed.
Hitting the local auctions and garage sales would help.
For me the taste, the freshness of it made it worthwhile.
The fact I know what it has been sprayed with, what is in it and that it does not have strange ingredients or as happened in Mexico, the pickers pee ‘d on the berries , so that they would weigh heavier...........true story, about 10 years ago.
Or the fact that an imported cantaloupe is under recall right now.
If I could, I would garden for my food.
Of course, this is my opinion and the reasons that I support the home garden idea, I do admit that all do not find it fun.
Dalebert, you are welcome to join in, and may do so, without a garden.
We welcome everyone and are not meant to be a ‘Garden Thread’ only, the article is one that i chose to start what we hope will be an on going thread about survival in today’s dangers.
Self survival, survival with the prices and problems of today.
Gabz and Garden Girl have lovely garden threads.
I notice in my other post to you, as I was headed to bed, was only half of my thoughts.
Do join in, as I am sure you know many things that I would welcome knowing.
And I got too old to have a garden, so my gardens are memory gardens.............Laughing.
