Re: Gardening for the Year 2000

Like Theresa I have pushed ahead things I had planned to do anyway.  I
better push some things ahead - I am 60.  In the past, I have canned,
frozen, pickled my garden produce, sometimes many dozens of quarts and
pints.  Have tapered off on both the gardening and the canning in the past
few years because of health problems.  Have many open-pollinated varities
(actually the only hybrid I have this year is eggplant) and will attempt to
save many more seeds this year than in the past.

I don't know what will happen to the structure of society in the event of
serious failure of technical and power grids with the y2k bug - I don't
know if anything will happen.  This is the first time a POSSIBLE emergency
situation may occur that actually has a date connected to it.  If nothing
happens, I will have in place many of the emergency items that I have
considered getting anyway - and will have a much lower grocery bill for the
next 6-9 months.  If something happens, I will be prepared.  And I must be
prepared, I am disabled and can't do a lot of things when the weather is
bad.  Must have things in place before the snow.

As another poster in another place says - 'Better to have it and not need
it than to need it and not have it.'
