Thank you, Lawrence, for the input and the great pics!

No worries about the lawn - this is why I wrote "..when SHTF we can dig up
the lawn.." because until then we will need the beauty, and the place for
kids to play :-)

Thanx Bob for the except, because all I see on the web is used copies from
$50 up..
But this is a weird suggestion IMHO. Hard to imagine how people are willing
to go without winter squash and beans. And since filberts are included, we
are not just talking annuals here - if so, what about all the fruit and other
nut species?
I personally would not grow wheat, but rather spelt instead. I avoid wheat -
doesn’t always work in our wheat-drenched world, but I do my best.

Georg
