I don’t have a problem with growing some food if you have room. It doesn’t have to be all lawn, and homegrown food always tastes better.
Squirrel Stew
Ingredients:
1 squirrel, quartered
1 cup diced onion
2 large tomatoes (from your garden) or 1 can of tomatoes
Assorted fresh ,or canned veggies
Preparation:
Sprinkle seasoned salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper (optional) liberally on the meat. Pour some cooking oil into a large pot (dutch oven). Sauté the meat with the onions until well browned. Drain the excess oil, add about 2 cups water, and bring to a boil. Cut up the tomatoes and add. If you use canned tomatoes add them now. Turn down the heat, and let slow cook for at least an hour. Important: older squirrels may require cooking longer than an hour. Check periodically for tenderness. If you don’t you will have a hard time chewing the meat. After the meat is tender, add the veggies, carrots, potatoes, banana pepper, what ever you like. Cook until the veggies are done. An option you can use is, cook up your favorite pasta and serve over the pasta. (eliminate the potatoes). That’s it, nice and simple ~ Good eating: John
Honestly there is nothing wrong with people gardening. If funds are tight growing your own food is a great way to stretch the food budget. It’s also a great hobby and exercise. Maybe this will help with the obesity problem when Junior has to put down the Wii and pull weeds. ;)
Let’s call them “Obama Gardens”
More like collective farms and workers brigades to bring in the harvest...just like in the old USSR.
If someone could invent an automatic greenhouse, that waters, fertilizes, plants, and harvests without human labor, they’d make a gazillion dollars.
Build them like they build a double wide house. Haul the thing out on a trailer ready to go. Just add dirt and electricity.
Typical east coast liberals. Thinking that growing a garden is because you are trying to make money.
I know lots of people who have gardens because they love to do gardening work. They grow everything from flowers to tomatoes to watermelons.
One friend has successfully cultivated a whole new sunflower, one the is red instead of yellow. Why, because he wanted to.
Another friend is growing potatoes in old tires, why? for the challenge of doing it. (seeing how many pounds of potatoes can be harvested in a small ground footprint.

Could be.
I think a lot of people are now gardening because they are worried about the future supply of food and not so much the cost. Hussein seeks to destroy capitalism and the means of production. The greater the crisis the more power he hopes to grab. We may end up with total anarchy and food shortages.
Before the end of his first, and only, term we may see scenes right out of Atlas Shrugged last chapter.
We started a victory garden on a limited scale in 2008, and plan to a little more this year.
We are in a war you know? Both a WOT and against a growing socialism. Don't hold back, get those tomatoes in the ground! It's the patriotic thing to do.IMHO
Grow a garden and you will meet some of your greenie friends...get chance to un-brainwash them. Or who knows maybe you’ll end up loving 0bomo too
It will become a warlord society with armed gangs taking what they need in large cities anyway. So, let's hope that it never gets to that point. But, the more dependent the population becomes on large urban areas, the greater the impact that anarchy will have on the land.
The country folk will survive.
Excuse me .. having a garden of your own could save you hundreds of dollars - I grew up with a garden in my backyard, from which we enjoyed fresh and healthy vegetables. We even had chickens - giving us fresh eggs all the time. Teaching your children how to grow things is not a bad thing.
During WWII it was called a “victory garden”. People were more dependent upon themselves - not the govt - and selling off the excess produce gave people extra income. I have many fond memories of working in the garden with my dad.
Besides, in this day of over-processed food - a little “fresh” food could be just what the doctor ordered.
Some of us just like growing vegetables! Try it, you may like it!
If you’ve ever had a home grown tomato you’ll see what I mean.
thats how pol pot got started
I think this is a GREAT idea...!!!!!
Fortunately there is plenty of fertilizer flowing out of Washington DC. All you can use and then some.
Real garden ping list needed here. I worked in mine today.
