Ikr?? I was thinking about my grandmother that lived in Tennessee. Whenever we would go visit in the summer we would pick the green beens and prep them for canning as we sat around the table, she had a job in town as a clerk but made ends meet with her garden.....EVERYONE had a garden and many still do.....love seeing this come back around with new energy.....and all those tats😅👍

I love pressure canning. I feel I am going back in time when people lived doing this. It's a pity people have lost these simple skills. It's too easy to buy from the shop - unless there is a food shortage and then most will whinge rather than grow and preserve.

I was never a big fan of tomatoes, until I started to grow my own organically. Then I realized it was not the tomatoes that I didn't like, but the way the store bought ones are grown. I love a fresh tomato from the garden, nothing compares. I wish I would've learned canning from my grandmother before she passed. I always pickle my extra peppers and jar them up to put in the pantry.

And now, it's 10 minutes later. The vegetables in the stores are like plastic. I have pet guinea pigs that eat tremendously. I offered them vegetables that cost more than I would have ever paid but I have to have them for them. And I thought that they're just so strange, even the organic vegetables. Eventually it got to where my guinea pigs wouldn't touch their favorite veggies. I had to go a long time without offering them before they got desperate enough to eat them. I've always had space to grow food and for the last two many years I have not. There's more to the story but that's the short version. And you're also right it's not the vegetables fault that you taste in the store or out of a can. When you grow them yourself they don't even taste related. Plus you have the freedom of cooking them in a style that taste good they're not boiled in water until they've lost their color

I can't truly "prepare" for a food shortage other than build the knowledge on survival, growing and raising animals. As far as going full on gardening, I just can't go full on on what it needs so my gardens produce but don't pop like if I had time to nurture it. I have tow kids and a mean ex (their mother) that doesn't care whatsoever about fresh food. I still practice, know survival, have some emergency food and have tools, resources and knowledge on making and fixing things. I have land, tools, resources and everything else but time. Thanks for all your great videos then and continuing. Just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't, and maybe not in the way of shortages but priced out of reach. Keep up th he good work.

My daughter wanted to grow corn a couple of years ago (in UK) we planted 6 seeds, only 4 became seedlings, then one of those died before planting out. We planted out the three remaining plants, I knew they were supposed to be planted in a square, so I tried a triangle formation. I also remembered my grandad helping his greenhouse tomatoes to cross pollinate with a "tickle stick" as he called it, so I did that too. All three plants produced! Good luck with yours.

honestly, growing up on a farm as a vegan you learn the difference between local livestock vs mass produced What we did was care for the animal and made sure they were loved because all of that plays a part into what they produce.
