Lurker. Late to the party.
It is good to see you back and becoming active.
Chris, my subscription fee has been more than paid for during the last 16 months. Your well researched urgent posts helped me take the threat very seriously. I have taken supplemental D3, Zinc, and C since March of last year. Have I completely avoided SARS-CoV-2? Maybe. Have I gotten sick? If so, only a very mild case.
Glad you are back.
Mine is also tingling around growing edibles, especially fruit trees, vines, and brambles. I’m blaming these urges on recent updates on the horrible drought affecting CA and other western states.
I spent over 20 years in a major “salad and fruit bowl area” near the Monterey Bay, so it’s second nature for me to understand how much in my Appalachian grocery stores comes from there — a LOT!!
If these long-lived orchards and fields are destroyed, few substitutes are readily available. It makes good sense to start growing our own.
