Actual seeds,,,, which of course piqued my curiosity, and I had to order.  I 
received the seeds, but not the potato seed (eyes), those will come later.

Raised beds separate post,,, i have to wait for the questions to return from

google my brain easier when things get lost.

we'll see how that works.

Hmmm....I've never heard of potato seed.  I've heard of seed potatoes,
though...they are just basically small potatoes, or cut up potatoes with
an eye like you would do..

Homestead rule...
You cannot mention a dish like this on the list without giving a recipe.

The stockpiled food is only for 'survival', Lynn.  That is part of my point.  
I want to grow and raise my own food, for my pleasure, as well as my 
susteneance.  And, I have started working on the 'getting in shape" part.  
I'm soon to have an importasnt check-up where decisions will be made. I don't 
always discuss such things openly.  Sometimes I feel comfortable talking 
about those subjects, other times I don't . I am well aware what goes into 
being a farmer.  Knowing my limitations and accepting them , I believe, has 
been a good part of my decision making process.  I'm only saying that while I 
might not be everything that you are, or someone else is, as a homesteader; I 
can be my own version of a freedom seeking , home growing homesteader that is 
a step above, for me, of living in the consumeristic, parasitically 
governmentalized city.
