I love this !
What I've done today probably isn't worthy of a full post, but I watered the garden and (most especially) our fruit bushes, as part of our goal to get closer to self-sufficiency for at least a selection of fruit and vegetables.
Growing our own reduces the environmental impact of crops grown in poor countries (often with their own food supply issues) and then shipped halfway around the world in refrigerated ships that happily burn tons of diesel every voyage. Plus our home-grown stuff is pesticide free, ripens naturally without the help of artificial ethylene, is higher in nutrients (we make our own compost....), and just tastes better. Plus it's one more step towards "state-proofing" our lives. 😀

That's fab. I've tried gardening on the balcony with (very) limited success. It's worrisome given gestures at everything and the fact that I have so many allergies how fragile the food supply can be.
