"History documents how millions of people starved to death in Russia, Ukraine."



Do you want to clarify this statement as it's confusing. It reads as if there were two victims, just asking nothing else.

Thanks

Just curious is everyone with a farm making a bigger garden this year than last.

Boys and my wife think it will be bigger.

Best place to order garden seeds for Saskatchewan.

The bread maker hasn't stopped since quarantine.

For the fly by night gardeners who don't take it seriously 49 years out of 50, panicking and slapping in more garden is interesting to me.

How will they know what to grow that is efficient? What to grow that is best suited for their soil and area? What about preservation?

I get a kick out of people who think they are going to save themselves by suddenly planting a bigger garden.

Not talking to you per se SF3. Just thinking out loud. It takes YEARS of experience to get good at gardening, years of experience to know what makes the most sense to grow, and years of experience to know how to preserve properly.

I think for those with a big grain farm, heck any size straight grain farm, buying a couple bred cows or bottle calves, better yet a few pigs, makes way more sense and is way more dense a food product in the end than the hope and a prayer of some lettuce in a bigger garden.

Just need to fence off that marginal corner piece. Wait, it got bulldozed to grow grain. Never mind. Just shoot a moose. Wait, I pushed its habitat down to make more grain fields. Never mind that either. Field mice are tasty and abundant! Especially under the canola swaths!

This virus may bring back some of the good old mixed farm feelings? I don't mean 50 or 100 cows to cramp our style. I mean 2 or 3. It makes too much sense though, and it cramps our style cuz we got all that terrible hard work now to keep some critters alive! lol

All in good fun big wheel, all in good fun.

Or we could just eat lentils. That's as dense a food protein source as livestock and much easier to look after.

Aquired taste though. Yeah, I guess the southern boys could grow lentils. Up here maybe peas or beans.
