Personal consumption, Do you help produce some of what you use? Options

[Denise]

We all know how much we consume daily, especially when it comes to food and power.
What I want to know is how many of us produce some of the things we consume.

We use solor panels for our power and have a garden with many edible goodies. Every bit helps!
Do you hunt or raise your own meat, have a garden or fruit trees, use solor panels or a wind turbine, etc.?
We would love to hear about it!

I didn't see anyone with garlic. I,ve grown it here severals years. Apheds put me out of growing for awhile. Ordered the seed clove from Filaree or felaree spelling? in Washington. I'll look around here for an old catalog and post info on them. I think all of the sub species will grow in your climate. I have to have a warm type for here so i'm limited to what we can grow. They have the seed cloves for anything from cool and mild to hot and spicey. We prefer the hot and spicey. Study the shelf live and you may be able to reseed every year with your cloves. Once you grow you onw you'll have a real hard time buying China grown garlii
