How many will be planting a garden this year? Was just reading words of encouragement from Sleepy Joe that he believes food shortages will be real this year.
I know we have some seeds already and wife is looking for specific heirloom seeds she likes and after Easter, then we will be starting our gardening projects.
Garden 2022
Re: Garden 2022
We will do some light gardening this year. Probably some mint and maybe some kale. That's about it. My new backyard is a lot smaller than the other house and it's not fenced in so wildlife can come and go as they please.
A man cannot call himself peaceful if he is not capable of violence. If he's not capable of violence he isn't peaceful, he is harmless. There is a distinct difference.

Maybe you can kill and alligator or two for supper. I tried some alligator meat the other day, was tougher than I thought it would be. Yet, my guess is that it could be the way it is prepared, then again for all i know alligator meat is tough.

Gator tail can be tough and/or stringy if not prepared properly. But it can also be very tasty and tender.
I now live in Land O' Lakes which is about 25 minutes north of where I was living in Tampa. And it lives up to it's name. Of course in this whole area of Florida you couldn't swing a dead cat and not hit a body of water, lol. Within a 5 minute walk of the new house are at least a dozen plus bodies of water. I see folks fishing all the time so fishing would always be an option. And of course in the area are squirrel, deer, hog etc as well.
That's not to suggest I could go all Grizzly Adams, everyone else would have the same ideas. But there would be a large amount of fish.
