Letters from America:
3/25/2023
I woke up early to get the slugs away from the radish and potato gardens in the backyard. Otherwise we wouldn’t eat. The lettuce is not looking good, but the hanging tomatoes look surprisingly apetizing.
It might be all we have left soon.
Yesterday at the distribution point I only managed to snag a pound of rice and a small box of oatmeal crackers. I couldn’t believe it was all they were giving out, apparently there is another shortage of deliverable food aid.
My neice managed to acquire some barely stale bread, I don’t know how she did that, everyone else said the bakery was closed all day.
A neighbor says he has a bead on some beans and we talked about a trade if he did. Beans now for greens later.
There is talk the government might ban backyard gardens, that they have destabalized the economy and made food aid unequal for those who can’t grow anything. No one could believe this but it was mentioned as being discussed in the White House.
What a bleak life.
