Love to try new things!<br /><br />K or A. I agree! There is more to benefit from just the food alone. We tried to buy additional greenhouses but he would not sell. Maybe in Spring he'd reconsider.

We are getting summer squash and I love them. I understand the satisfaction you receive with producing as much of your food as possible. Just think of the savings to fuel, transport, sell those things. I detest and refuse to buy Idaho potatoes. LOL Do you think there are any of the greenhouses left? That would be an excellent idea to put our garden in. I have looked at new but eek the prices.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08257564938538898594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8054676916913880208.post-5191689268562755162009-08-28T10:07:11.292-04:002009-08-28T10:07:11.292-04:00I really liked the title of the post.

I had to buy my tomatoes so that we could make tomato sauce and salsa. When I called around to the local farmers, a lot of them told me that they had lots all their tomato crops to blight. That's sad.YD, sometimes with ♥June and ♥Angel Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06976378557392639152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8054676916913880208.post-88860493608419997212009-08-26T13:35:30.320-04:002009-08-26T13:35:30.320-04:00I think blight has ravaged a lot of tomato's t...I think blight has ravaged a lot of tomato's this year. What a pity. I think it's awesome that you raise almost all your own meat :) We buy ours, obivously, but it is all local and humanly raised, so I am happy with that.<br /><br />We also have a kick-butt farmers market. Plums, pears, melons, and every vegetable imaginable there so eating local this summer has been super easy for us. It just putting stuff away that is the hard part!Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01588446434293186676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8054676916913880208.post-15900495687000158872009-08-26T13:34:46.887-04:002009-08-26T13:34:46.887-04:00If you've never liked sauerkraut, you might ju...If you've never liked sauerkraut, you might just like the homemade stuff, like you said. I like homemade better because you can eat it when it's still crunchy - the storebought stuff is so mushy.<br /><br />If you like a little bite (or a lot) to your food, instead of making American sauerkraut, try making the Korean stuff - kimchi. If you like it, next year grow some daikon radishes to put in it.<br /><br />The best book I've found for this stuff is Wild Fermentation by Sandor Ellis Katz.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01060662533625106100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8054676916913880208.post-84811942721731369982009-08-26T12:37:16.897-04:002009-08-26T12:37:16.897-04:00Funny, my tomatoes survived and everything else di...Funny, my tomatoes survived and everything else died.
