pull it up and grow edible plants.

If you live in an apartment, grow herbs and micro-greens. Sprouts.

Anything we do now to create any food source will pay us and the next ones back 100-fold.

Each year I try to add two to three new perennial edibles.

I’m getting better and better at growing annual edibles from seeds, and last year I intentionally harvested seeds from the best of a couple of plants. This spring I’ll grow those seeds and see how they germinate. I try to buy only open pollinated seeds, but there are still a few bay are only hybrid seeds that I haven’t quite found the appropriate open pollinated seed to replace.

I was fortunate to have a grandma that preserved a lot of home grown food.

I’m lucky to live just outside the city limits, so I can have plenty of chickens on my half acre. I have a hen in my current flock that is a broody, so I’m going to try to have her hatch out some fertilized eggs next time she goes broody.

There must still be some coal miners looking for work.
