[quote:Pooka:MV80MDUwNTU5XzczMzg0OTkxXzU0OTRFMzAy] [quote:BleachedPink1111:MV80MDUwNTU5XzczMzg0ODA1XzgzRjlGNjY1] I have my very first garden started. My very first house, and very first yard to call my own. I started many plants inside last month, so I had 90% of my seedlings started. Last weekend I finished digging and tilling the soil, set up my compost pile. Throughout the past week I got most of everything planted outside, and just finished planting the last things today. I have like 10 sweet corn plants, 8 tomato plants, 8 cherry tomato plants, squash, broccoli, okra, green peppers, cucumbers, basil, cilantro, green beans, watermelon, cantalope, and tons of kale. I am lining the entire perimeter with kale. I have 2 house rabbits and they love Kale, and I'm sick of running to the store every few days to get them more greens. I also am starting a strawberry patch in the alley behind my house, which is also behind my garden. I also put in a bunch of asparagus seeds in the alley, and some Mammoth Sun Flower seeds against the ugly fence across the alley. I was blessed with very fertile soil where I'm at in Indiana. The yard just has maybe a little bit too much shade, but we might be having some of the trees trimmed back soon. So far, everything is looking pretty good though! The tomatoes are still looking strong, the kale is loving the cool, shady areas I put them in. Cucumber and Green Bean plants are looking strong against the fence. The Squash leaves are gigantic... I have no idea what I'm doing, so this first year is basically experimenting. [/quote] You are already doing wonderfully just by trying, and by being willing to learn. Loved reading this post - bless you! :You go girl: :I love this post: [/quote]
Original Message
"The last 12 months have been the wettest in all of U.S. history, and this has created absolutely horrific conditions for U.S. farmers. Thanks to endless rain and historic flooding that has stretched on for months, many farmers have not been able to plant crops at all, and a lot of the crops that have actually been planted are deeply struggling. What this means is that U.S. agricultural production is going to be way, way down this year. The numbers that I am about to share with you are deeply alarming, and they should serve as a wake up call for all of us. The food that each one of us eats every day is produced by our farmers, and right now our farmers are truly facing a nightmare scenario."
