If the sky falls I will grow carrots. Otherwise I will buy them as desired.


Every homesteader does that with something. I'm stuborn about the carrots. True that carrots are cheap and not all that bad from the store, but a body can't have carrots getting the better of them.

This past year I grew a few beds of wheat and barley just because it had been several years since I'd done so and I didn't want the experience to fade too far away. The younger children had never seen it done. It was only enough for a few loaves of bread and about two gallons of beer, and like Gene's carrots, I'd do it if I had to, but as long as barley and wheat are for sale cheaply, I'm going to buy them.


You guys!!! You are spoiling my surprise post by beating me to the punch, talking about stuff I was gonna talk about! :)
I guess we are all on the same wavelength in thinking about what we all do and what we choose not to do.
