I have never told th story of my mom and her family but I probably should. <BR/><BR/>Gardening for survival and depending on the harvest you get to live is not romantic by any means it is brutal. You are at the mercy of so many factors <BR/><BR/>Also if you have no access to seeds (something we cannot fathom now) and your garden tanks and you have no ripe vegetables to get new seeds from you were screwed and again at the mercy of of kind people who might be able to give you some or trade you for some for the following year.<BR/><BR/>It is for this reason that Farmers never became rich for all of thier hard work.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02113861424138929702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7686824340370147171.post-40798816998410303252008-08-12T06:36:00.000-05:002008-08-12T06:36:00.000-05:00Hi Sue!

I came across some blogs involved with this:<BR/><BR/>http://freedomgardens.org/about/freedom-gardens/<BR/><BR/>this morning....And since it is essentially what you do, I thought you might want to give it a look-see. Thinking about victory gardens of the past, I keep thinking how romanticized they are now. But there is nothing romantic about *plant a garden or starve*! I guess it puts in perspective some of the things people who don't homestead or garden think about people who do. <BR/><BR/>We are lucky they can think it's crazy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7686824340370147171.post-10184627447809351362008-08-10T14:57:00.000-05:002008-08-10T14:57:00.000-05:00Its great to here that he is on board.Its great to here that he is on board.TigersButterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190261162550166440noreply@blogger.com
