Imagine, saying for years, we're gonna cut the debt and deficit! We're gonna make sure everyone in america has insurance! We're gonna make sure that drug costs, go down! We're gonna give the richest people on earth a tax break, and that is going to give us a 6% rise in GDP and economic expansion nobody has ever seen before! Its going to boost the income of every american at least 4,000 dollars, each! We're gonna bring back factories and make the USA a manufacturing hub of the world!! We're gonna build the next generation of roads, bridges, and tunnels! Not cuts to medicaide or medicare, and social security! We're gonna lower the 19 trillion dollar debt! We're gonna make reforms for ethics for senators and presidents to make sure nobody can be corrupted while in power!! We're gonna pass background checks for gun buyers!
Imagine believing a word of that.

That sounds awesome.
I turned over some soil today. Gonna plant some garlic. I use a lot of garlic and I'm not satisfied with the current price trajectory on garlic in the grocery store. I went to Walmart to get a few things yesterday and they wanted $3.28 for two bulbs of garlic.
That's when I decided, yup, time to pull out the ole shovel again and turn over some earth.
I wouldn't grow pinto beans, wheat, or potatoes at this time, because it's still really cheap to just buy those.
My bell pepper, acorn squash, and various pepper plants are really thriving; producing a dozen acorn squash, and 5 or 6 lbs of peppers a week.
I'm up to my eyeballs in em making indian squash recipes, Naan, paneer (from whole milk with a cheesecloth thank you very much), Chile rellanos etc. Last night we did stewed beef cutlets with Mexican rice I stole from the commercial crop of tomatoes nearby that I reduced down to a paste before adding a lil chicken bullion to before steaming, and pinto beans with vegetable shortening and spices (Cumin, Chili Powder, Smoked paprika ((seriously get the smoked paprika it's worth the markup in price/lb)), and a lil garlic salt)
Ive been thinking about getting a good food dehydrator, but really I should just figure out how to dry peppers with the sun; shit's free.
Anyhow, I keep a 10lb bag of potatoes on the roster because if shit hits the fan and you can't just buy em for 25 cents/lb at the store, it's nice to know I have some potatoes on-hand, to cut and bury to make more potatoes in the future with.
Mmmm potatoes from the Future
