I hear you @ArraDreaming @Paperdaisy @Bow @hanami !

I hardly ever go shopping, but when I did yesterday, I noticed people all standing around staring. Then I realised why… the prices of things are ridiculous! People must be standing there calculating costs in there head!

Sustainabilty? @ArraDreaming . You’ve got a head start because you love gardening. I don’t like gardening, but when I have compost, in dig holes in my garden and bury the compost. It doesn’t take long for potatoes to grow, pumpkins, rockmelons, tomatoes… once the plants grow, I separate them so the produce get enough nutrients. I’ve got 8 large pumpkins this year, and ever ending supply to silver beet and tomatoes, prickly pears, rockmelon, and HEAPS of potatoes! The potato plants grew from potato skins I buried! So Voila! That’s how I hardly go shopping. 

For meat, i by a leg of lamb, and ask the butcher to cut it up into diced pieces, chops etc. Then I freeze it in little portions for the next few months.

And that’s about it!

You definitely have it better because of your green thumb!

Ill take photos of my garden produce next time - and it’s food all year round.
