We've had a summer / fall vegetable garden for about four years now. However, I have not made our bread nor have we tried to grow winter veggies.

Yea...I think some of the problem is also laziness. Years ago every family had a garden. They made their own bread, sewed their own clothes,etc. Now it is to easy to run to the store. We do need to be more self efficent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
