On the plus side, I'll do better in the TNCR Weight Loss Challenge.

Dude you’re in the bread basket. You’ll do fine.

If things get desperate you can eat all those extra ooooooooooooos

Jon thinks they are Cheeri-oooooooos.

When a food crisis hits, more likely the remaining producers will produce high calorie foods rather than low calorie but otherwise nutrient rich foods. Not exactly a recipe for weight loss.

I'm glad I planted those Pringles plants last month!

I have a Choco Taco tree. All set.

Before the day is out, we will have put up over 130 jars of snap beans. Peas should start coming in, in about a week . I'm picking some squash, cucumbers, peppers and tomatoes, just not enough to can...hope the volume picks up.

Have been making mayhaw jelly, along with blackberry. Put up a few jars of strawberry preserves.

Corn should come in about last week of June and figs are looking like first part of July.

There's a food crisis?

Would not a food crisis lead eventually to a planting seed crisis?

[Jolly]

Depends on what you plant. COVID did create a seed shortage, so maybe a food crisis would create a problem with seeds.

But most of what I plant is open pollinated, so if needed, I could save most of my seeds, except for sweet corn and another one or two.
