It's time to start a garden! (I know that many of you already do some gardening).
History
Of course rural folks have always had gardens. During WW2 the gov encouraged people everywhere to plant home or community gardens and they called them "Victory Gardens".
Back in the 1940's we were a patriotic nation united in a great battle of good vs evil. Today we are fighting fake catastrophes created by the elite Progressives at the WEF. (hmmm... perhaps it is still Good vs Evil... it is just that we are no longer united). The two following pictures illustrate Then Vs Now.
Rationing was another aspect of the War era that may be coming back to America in 2023. Brandon has drained the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to buy votes in the midterms and the Administration has now exhausted every dishonest option at their disposal. Rationing of gasoline and diesel could happen in 2023.
Europe is totally screwed and the puppet-masters at the WEF will be calling on Brandon to bail Europe out at our expense.
People in Europe are already facing a "Heating vs Eating" crisis and I firmly believe Joe will bring that crisis home to America. Ironically, it currently looks like the northern 'blue' states will be punished the most... so perhaps there is a bit of Karma at work.
I never considered gardening because neoTerra is so shaded by large trees (and I'm lazy).
However, to get Starlink working, I had to have several trees north of the house topped. (and I'll have to top more). There is now a partially sunny area north of the driveway. I also got about 2 face cords of firewood for 2023 and a BIG pile of mulch.
I'm thinking about putting in a small (20x16) garden, kind-of like this, before Spring. It will need to have an electrified fence to keep Bambi and Yogi out.
With the trees cleared, the next step is to bring in a couple truckloads of topsoil so I can level the area. Then, I can install the fence so it will be ready for Spring.
