I love the canning and food self sufficiency Ralph and I have achieved here and our stocks of staples that we have at our fingertips. To be honest I don't think I really beleived it would be put to the test, yet here we are...thanking God for our blessings.
We have been continuing our planting and lambing is almost done. The asparagus bed gave us our first full servings of fresh spears, heavenly. Our plum trees have set fruit and the apple trees are blooming.
We have leeks and onions well started but our Irish potatos are late going in...we have had so much rain the gardens were far too wet to get into.
We naturally self isolate as there is so much to be done it keeps us healthy, happy and busy.
Will this CPP pandemic make people look at the way food is grown and sourced?
Will families take the time to actually get to know each other better?
One can only pray this is the wake up call this country needs to face perhaps its greatest challenge.
God bless you and keep you safe and healthy.
