Bad Economy and fears of contaminated food spur newcomers to grow their own

Duane,

Many churches do this, while others don't. Our congregation has many home gardeners. Church is the place many of us bring our surplus to the non-gardeners. I also was listening to the radio and there is great political and social rest in Mexico right now due to the drug wars. We may not have long before many of our produce grown there is cut back or cut off. It is worse than people think. Tomatoaddict also has some wise words. If you have an emergency stash of food and water, be prepared to defend it yourself. I have also heard that many people are now buying their first firearm, many of them in their 40's and 50's.
