Those books sound very good - I'll have to look for them. It's strange when I think about how I have the luxury of gardening and we aren't really counting on it for life and death... but if I only had my limited seeds and had to sustain us that way, that might be tricky. Don't know what I would feed the cats either. Guess they'd have to be let loose to hunt birds and lizards.
