Yes, those veggies really do look good.
Crowbar you really have the green thumb. You have done very well with your garden.
grannyj smith, you are right about this world getting worse. I can’t seem to shake the feeling that war is coming to the USA. We are right in the middle of where a neuclear blast won’t give us much of a chance of survivial. Naval bases and Washington DC about 3 to 4 hours away. No where to go as traffic would be bottleneck. Have been working on several ways to get out if we have enough warning. But to get somewhere safe is still very iffy.. We have been trying to stock as much as we can and need to work on our water situation a lot more. We now have enough food to get by for over a year depending on how many mouths we will be feeding. We will have family members heading our way. I have just started to add somemore long term food. But am trying this time to just stock the freeze dried veggies and fruits as a lot of that has salt and with DH in congestive heart failure, we have to steer away from salt. Lots of label reading on the long term foods. I have been canning as much meat as I can and need to order somemore tattler lids. I don’t trust the ones that have a 18 month limit on them. Don’t want to trust them. Right now I have veggies and meat that I canned 5 years ago we are still eating on and I know I can go up to 8 years on some of the things I have canned. that is pushing it, but am doing it for a trial and error to see just how long things will last. So far it has worked well for us.
I am looking for a cabnet now to store my boxes of spices in so I can find things when I need it without having to dig into boxes.
I am getting ready to go through my shoes to see what I can still wear or not. I know there are some that after I broke my big toe, I can no longer wear. It broke in the joint and will never heal like it should. Though it doesn’t bother me, it does at times with some shoes start to hurt after a few hours. So some will be heading to good will. Need to get DH some slip on shoes as he has a hard time now bending over without loosing his breath.
I am looking to get some blanets on sell. I do have quite a few but when family ends up coming in a SHTF situation I want to make sure I have enough of them. Looking to get some wool or wool blend also.
After Christmas has passed, I am going to take total inventory of everything I have so I will know what I still need. Looking at all catergories. food, water, bathing, paper goods, cooking, grain mills, just anything and everything and then getting buckets to keep things like the candles all together, flashlights and radios all together in one, etc. Need to get better organized.
