Food prices June 2021

[baymule]

So true.. a long time ago, the first wife "adopted" a feral woman who was the sister of a supposed friend, was on all kinds of public assistance. The woman had two girls and marveled at my gardens and the food preservation. I spent weeks planning, educating, and preparing them a garden bed (postponing my personal gardens). All stuff she said they liked. They tended to the weeds once and said it was too hot. Mind you, they slept in until noon. After about a month, I finally had my stuff in order, went over first thing on a Saturday morning to reluctantly try to salvage their garden. They had mowed it off the day before, because "it was way too hard to do and I always had extra to share".

Why work when they get it for nothing. Truly disgusting.
Just wondering… did you share with those sluggards?

I did not share any fresh stuff. Have no idea what the ex did while I was at work. If she did, it was in minor amounts. This was one of many examples. The ex and I argued often over this leech.

Get your coffee now. Prices are going to go up with the tariff on Columbia.


Business Center trip today. Got a few prices. Fingers are too cold for long typing so you get the pics.

Tariff threat lasted like 5 minutes, as the Columbian folded.

I'm stocked from this Fall. Weather threats already raised bean prices, so...pay & drink.

People are worried about increasing food prices and most people have a yard. Read that as DIRT to grow even a small garden in. But that is WORK and they would rather complain. I can’t count the people I’ve tried to encourage, over the past few years, to grow a garden, only for them to whine they are tired when they get home from work. Plus they have SNAP cards……ummmm….. doesn’t that make their food FREE?
I have no sympathy.

For those that don’t get SNAP cards, they could augment their grocery bill by even a small garden. Yes it is work but the rewards are great. My Daddy came home from work and went straight to his garden, coming in for supper and sometimes going back outside to finish up. He fed our family of 5. He had plenty to share with neighbors.

I don’t have a garden right now due to moving and there are some ramshackledy craptastic pens and such where I want to put my garden. They are slowly coming down. I just don’t want to put a lot of work in a garden spot where I don’t want one, then move the garden where I do want it. If I don’t get that done this year, there is hope! I have two sets of new neighbors, one who wants to learn how to garden and one who already knows how. I’ve offered to take my tractor and disc to break up a garden for both. Plus I’ll help them any way I can, the family that already knows how quickly offered me extra vegetables. Community.

due to moving did you move again??? of is this the one you just put a new roof on like LY???

I'd love to share garden time & veggies. Few want to do. Your new neighbors need the "cultivation" of ground & mind. Such a different world from when we grew up. Today's world isn't about self help. When China or Russia blows out our power system theres gonna be a lot of hungry folks! SNAP won't help.

So true!
