Wow, that avocado creek guy is a dead ringer for my son
No, tomatoes aren't a problem
I could grow a million tomatoes in my damn yard here in Georgia
The only problem would be keeping them picked
Would need a bazillion bags and baskets to put them all in
Couldn't even give them away
This is in suburbia, not even the boondocks
People have forgotten how to grow shit even though easy instructions are on YouTube
What the hell
Eat like our grandparents did, with shit that's in season
Or the stuff you canned/froze last year
Honestly
My grandparents still preserved sweet potatoes like the Cherokee did, layered in a shallow pit lined with rocks & with leaves & straw between layers
It worked great, stayed dry
Nobody "needs" food that has to travel a thousand miles
Two words: Foxfire Books
Yeah, get a sample tested by your state Ag department
My soil runs on the red clay/acidic side so I try to add granulated lime once in a while
My grandfather told me that when he was young he was plowing a pasture with his father, and the plow turned up the skeleton of what was obviously a Civil War soldier
I was like wow, what did you do
He said, we buried him again and finished plowing
End of story, swear it's true

Nah they put up sweet potatoes for later that way, shallow pit or short ditch with rocks to keep the bottom dry
Dry leaves or pine needles layer on the bottom, then put potatoes in
Continue layers until you're done with all your potatoes
More leaves/straw on top in dense layer to keep rain out
Can go out and get some out any time to cook
Now I want some of my granny's butterbeans :(
I hear you fren.
Elderly mother had to go to rehab (age 80!) for benzo addiction
She was too stubborn to follow the med instructions
Off the pills now but left with tremors, can't hold a fork.
She's why I have avoided drugs all my life.
Klonopin
She had to be tapered off them gradually
It was a fucking nightmare
She shakes like a leaf now and has like two dozen chronic conditions
"I'm having a bad day", shakes like a leaf with tremors, just a trainwreck
85 now & will probably live to be 100
I don't even know what the hell to think of it anymore
