At our house, seeds/gardening/fruit trees/food preserving isn’t prepping. It’s life.
We grew 50 gallons of blueberries year before last. Picked many 5 gallon buckets of pears, apples, etc. That’s not even the garden itself.
It’s cheap and I know how it was grown, the variety’s name and what it was or was not sprayed with. I also know that I didn’t poop in the row and wipe with my hand right before I harvested lettuce. Just sayin’.
My plum tree died, last year :(
