Thanks.
I won't be preserving any food, that's beyond my skill level. There are other seniors I'll give veggies to if I have any extra.
I'll start off with summer crops and if successful will get into some winter crops--the Norcal climate allows that since we rarely get below freezing where I am located.
In the larger scheme of things, while I'm a native Californian I'm dismayed at how the state is self-destructing. In addition the drought will have an effect on food availability elsewhere in the country. This makes small-scale food growing all the more important not only here but elsewhere.
Years ago, Organic Gardening magazine pushed the Cornucopia Project, advocating small-scale growing in all states to reduce dependence on California, reduce transportation costs, etc., but not much came of it.
Sorry, didn't mean to go on a rant here, but I tend to look at the worst scenario.
Ray Mac.
