So, just in case, I downloaded the entire USDA guide to canning. I refer to it every year when I can. I expect canning more things this year and want to make sure I have access to safe instructions. I'm afraid it might get DOGE'ed

Seems like I made a good choice to suspend my super exclusive special annual subscription to the online store with all the stuff that just doubled in price.

#RightToRepair just took on a whole new meaning now that capitalism decided to back a madman bent on revenge and retribution against any and all around the world who don’t express their sufficient loyalty and respect to his highest level of supreme judgements in the best deal making ever of all time in history or into the glorious new gilded age future.

💚 Beans give back to the soil, are rich in culture & flavor, and are a staple in food sovereignty. What’s your favorite variety to grow or eat?

Picture of my rather lovely well worn and thumbed copy of 'Grow Your Own Vegetables' by Joy Larkcom. Has anyone else got an old favourite that they keep going back to? I only wish they made this in a spiral bound or at least threaded copy! This book is just the cats pyjamas, she has so much research and advice crammed in it.
More weeding done at the allotment and back home opted to sow more broad beans in pots as we have quite a few mice down there... #allotment #growyourown #gardening

Victory gardens were a tactic used for the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and Germany during WWII to supplement food rations during wartime. They were hugely successful and supplied up to 40% of the US' supply of fresh vegetables. I've been thinking about them a lot lately considering the tariffs, isolationism, fascism, and more.

It's unfortunately seeming an awful lot like this kind of self sustenance practice is going to be important again over the next few years because of Dictator Dipshit. I want to reclaim the term and deem them Resistance Gardens, because yes -- I can and will find joy and community in opposing your ass. Even for simple, yet crucially important things like how I put food on the table.
