Serving as a resource and encouragement to all desert agrarians.
Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody. -1 Thessalonians 4:11-12
Nearly 20 million Americans answered the call. They planted gardens in backyards, empty lots and even city rooftops. Neighbors pooled their resources, planted different kinds of foods and formed cooperatives, all in the name of patriotism.
Farm families, of course, had been planting gardens and preserving produce for generations. Now, their urban cousins got into the act. All in the name of patriotism.
This time around, it is not just patriotism, it is food security!
Oh man, beets are so good. You should try them for sure. I cook mine by boiling them for 30 minutes or longer depending on the resistance when poked with a fork, let them cool and then slide the skins right off. Slice them up with a big slab of butter and voila!
