I love those shows. Of course, I was raised by parents who were poor and creative about it, including food. I'll never forget going to a train car that had spilled beans, I think it was. We had cloth bags and got as much as we could into them. Then we took them home, sorted, and cleaned. We planted on our yards, especially the huge back one. The one issue was that, both Mom & Dad had been raised by one parent out of the two that really knew how to "farm" and live like farmers. They were a bit ham handed...but they did add to our slender food stores. Myself, I've been a farmer...both on places I farmed as well as the farms of my girls. I love picking up more hints and processes from the shows...a bit addicted to them. (Ditto on "Tiny House Nation.") I think that's because my father and both grandfathers were carpenters. Ariele
