Agreed. I’m pretty burned out on my garden right now, but give me a few FRIGID winter months and by March I’ll be raring to go all over again - with new & improved ideas and tricks, of course! ;)

I did more canning this year than I’ve done since my kids were still underfoot. When I had three teen boys and two adult males (husband and a BIL who was ALWAYS around at mealtime; it’s OK, I liked him...) and myself to feed, our garden, hunting and fishing and shopping the Loss Leaders each week were just a way of life. *SHRUG* (And there were years that my then-husband pulled in six figures, and I always had an income, or two or three.)

And now that it’s just ‘We Two’ those skills still serve us well. Once you learn the basic skills of feeding yourself and others, you will remain MILES ahead of the crowd that is standing in the Food Pantry Line, surrounded by FOOD, with no clue as to where it came from or what to do with it.

It’s a sad state of affairs, really. People are so helpless these days. I mean, come on! At a minimum, learn to bake bread and make a pot of soup from scratch. You’ll live like KINGS! ;)

“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”
