“Assparagus was $4.00 a pound...”
“Assparagus” is how I feel about it too. And you’re right, because of the weather we’ve had, if we have any further problems, it may very well be cheaper to grow our own food this year.
Our green bell peppers are normally $1.40 here, tomatoes only about $1.50 a pound. Living in an agricultural area, it’s hit and miss (Milk here, for example is only about $1.80-$2.20 depending on where you buy it, per gallon).
Potatoes are a good crop as most veggies don’t have enough calories in them to sustain life. That’s why we need beans, grains and starchy potatoes, mm mm mm!
Speaking of potatoes. Does anyone else have problems with storage?
Used to be I could keep the tubers for a year, now....they rot much, much quicker.
