Growing staple food

[Lambsy]

Sometimes we get good potatoes in our garden if the blight does not set in too soon. This year, our yield was not good because our summer started off cool and wet and then instantly changed to scorching hot and drought. They did not like that at all.

Eureka potaoes are blight resistant, and if you add char coal to your soil the blight should be controled well.

I do think though it is important to know that all the world is in for food shortages. Like we have never seen before. At home we are about to experience a locust plague which will wipe out a lot of food crops.
Anyone can grow vegetables even if you live in an apartment.
I have seen crops of vegies in window boxes.
And yummmm they taste so much better fresh from you garden then from the shops.
But Lambsy I could not eat my dogs. We are blessed with a lot of kangaroo as you would know, now that is lovely meat and healthy too!

Many cities have parks with ponds that have ducks and geese floating around on them. These game birds can been fed bread until they take it from your hand. Place a piece of bread on your pointer finger, with your thumb poised over the top, and when the duck goes to take the bread, pinch its nose, reef it in and ring its neck. If you do this in deliberate controled way you can get a number ducks before they suspect something is wrong. Stuff your ducks in a hessian sack, ducks can twitch with nerves after they have been dispatched, this can upset the other ducks you are trying to catch. Just sit quitely on the grass and lure them in with the bread.

But if you are in the country there is food everywhere.

I guess I better go find something to burn then.

I love dogs, but there's a couple mouthy ones here I wouldn't mind disposing of if I was so inclined. One belongs to the resort owner's brother. He's very big and would make a lot of meals--the dog and not the brother. Well, the brother is very big too, but I understand human meat is very salty. The other one is a rat sized one that I hesitate to call a dog. I was told they eat dogs in Mexico.

They eat dogs in America and Australia, although you won't read about it in the news. Some things are to good to share.

Try a globalist, socialist, liberal democrat, I hear they need thinning in your neck of the woods.

I couldn't grow anything where I am since there's nothing but sand. Besides, I live in an RV on a very tiny site. I could stand between my RV and my neighbor's and touch both RV's at the same time. It's really roomy here.

Sand is excellent for carrots

Not here, but about 90 miles to the west of here.

I am game to eat anything, just as long as I don't know it personally

yes I agree canny. When my husband kills the calves and lambs as long as I havent given them a name I dont worry.
But dogs? maybe the wild ones if I was hungry, but like I said before we have plenty of kangaroos and possums and they really make good eating.
I think I will stick to them if I have to.

Jon-Marc what about putting some vegies in a planter box and tomatoes in a pot or would someone take them?
