I know you’re a fan of Carol Deppe!
I just received ‘Gardening When it Counts’ by Steve Solomon, as you recommended. Diving in, but it’s as dry as a school book that I didn’t want to read! But I think when I read this, it’s going to have all of my favorite hints and tips inside...and some I’ve not learned of yet. ;)
The preface was good. The 1970’s! We were ALL broke and struggling! The economy sucked so bad - that’s why I joined the Army. There were NO decent jobs and seemingly NO FUTURE for youngsters like me. My folks had NO money for me to go on to college - they had a 23% mortgage to pay! OMG! Yes, Kids! It’s TRUE! Everyday Life really did SUCK in the 70’s! But it improved with these two things in the 1980’s: Disco music/dancing and President Reagan, LOL!
But I showed ‘em! I’m relatively self-sufficient now - FIFTY years LATER, LOL! (But I still need a milk cow!)
