So, you are thinking of Burying Food in your Garden?

My son called from the Central Valley in California last night and said over 10,000 acres of farm land in the Central Valley are under water. They have been underwater for too long.

And they have not had the worst of the flooding over there in California.

Cropping land, vegetable growers and orchards. A-wash for too long now. Flooded.

Even the local farmers markets are facing fresh food shortages.

Another major interruption to the food supply chain.

And still it rains in California. (The drought is broken though!).

But soon it will be too hot to replant.

And the Central Valley supplies the US with 25% of its fresh food. And still it rains.

This year would be a good year to start a garden if you don’t have one in already.

Another friend of mine said her neighbour told her she is starting to bury canned food in her garden. In case the food runs out. We shook our heads. Maybe she should PLANT a garden, I said. Then put the food in jars in her PANTRY. My young friend said.

Burying food. Good Lord.

A whole community of people who do not know how to grow food or how to cook it. Even squirrels do better than that.

They will definitely be crying when fresh produce goes up another 8%, over the 9.9% it went up last year.

Get those seeds in the pots this week. I even put some zuchinni seeds in pots last week! Just as soon as this weather warms up we are going to get planting.

We have a lot of work ahead people! People. Feed thyself!

What is going into your garden this spring?

It is going to warm up soon, right?

PS It is raining hard here too – and thundering. This is Boo. Hiding from the mean old thunder! Under my desk. I just scoot my chair back up and put my feet on him. (laughter).
