Some of my closest friends are into preparedness, but I had a man recently talk to me at the supermarket about tomatoes. He said he had some small ones at home and the ones we were looking at in the shop were massive. "I think they're going to be massive like these". A nice conversation.

It's becoming more common I think.

I'm not ready yet. I have way too much going on to pick up Farming 101, but I have been growing some mint in my kitchen that I'm letting go wild. I've built cedar planters in the past and I have some materials I bought to make one, but just going to put wildflowers in for it. Who knows, maybe i'll be converted to some food... but I think if I do that, there's a silly divot in my yard from where a tree used to be that's mostly level-ish... but I think if I do food I'll build something rather large there and plant. I do have dogs so have to be concerned there... and squirrels... lots and lots of squirrels...
