I thought yours might have been an old post of mine! My wife was VERY thankful that I had prepped.

However - I bought WAY TOO much Hydrogen Peroxide. It was cheap though.

I bought 5 gallons of 100% denatured alcohol. But bought it quickly without learning that 100% didn’t mean 100%(?) - it has methanol in it and is harmful for skin. I also bought a bunch of Aloe to mix it with. Oh well. Now I’m ready to strip the entire house of paint and treat the neighborhood for sunburn.

I bought more of TP, sanitizer, etc. - but not really. I ended up giving a bunch away to relatives and friends. I had a bunch of N95 masks from before and bought maybe 20 new ones. Gave a bunch of those away as well. I wish I had more masks, but still have about 6 unused masks. (We just rotate the ones we have been using).

I keep telling myself that I’m going to learn how to garden one of these days. But I never do it.

I found 34% food grade hydrogen peroxide https://bulkperoxide.com/ $122.04 for 2 Gal. with shipping but at 1-1/4 cups to make a gallon it is not much cheaper than buying the 3% standard H202 from a store, but that is not food grade. Some put a very weak solution (1?) in a essential oil disperser (whatever they are called) and report improved health.
Thanks for the input. Grace and peace thru Jesus the Lord.

This is the year to start to learn.

This major winter storm is going to really hurt crops across the south. I foresee shortages of stuff like lettuce and celery, and other cold sensitive veggies.

For a good place to start, go here.

Denatured = methanol

I tried gardening in 2020—I am a total newbie.

Success—red and green peppers, carrots.

Fail—tomatos and cucumbers.

Every year I hope to get a little better... :-)
