RE: From Seed To Table - Tomato Harvest Time
My Mom's mother lived with us for about a year and she told me they used to go to the cemetery to pick dandelion greens and eat them with polenta. And we think we've got it bad.
Yes my Grandma told me the starving time stories, I've had a few myself so I truly appreciate growing my own food...the markets are rigged and I don't trust government/corporate food/energy/transportation grids because of my Grandma's stories and my history lessons...Mao cutting off his rebellious people's food grid and millions starved to death. That's why I always save fresh seeds and rotate them out every year, just in case, I also save potatoes for the spring...I am cra-cra-crazy lololol
We ate pigweed when I was a kid and my Mom ran out of money...;-)
Me too! I wound up with an acre of collard greens one year and not much else! And I hate polenta!
