    Hi! 12:16 Cool you should say that. I'm 58 yrs old and I was just saying to my mom the other day (in the car as we were leaving a grocery store) that, I remember as a kid, we didn't have fresh tomatoes or salad fixing stuff in the house in the middle of winter. I also clearly remember how expensive tomatoes were in the store (if they were even there.) I also remember that it was "an event" if we had oranges or any other "fancy" fruits in the winter time. It was NORMAL and we didn't die of scurvey!! We weren't malnourished. We have gotten SO spoiled over the last 3 or 4 decades, it's astonishing, really!! Oh! Edited to add: Much love from NW Ontario (on top of Lake Superior)

    You are who inspired me to start gardening about 4 years ago now. My garden space is only about 375 square feet and I still have to rely on the grocery store but I haven’t had to buy tomato products in the last 4 years. I’ve been able to grow and can enough tomatoes! I also have grown a years worth of garlic the last 2 years. I try to grow as many of my own herbs and am able to at least grow a few months of other things like potatoes, butternut squash, carrots and beans.

I think heat actually can keep the coops to warm and cause excessive moisture. I always had issues with sinus infections and just lame so a few ago years decided no heat. After seeing some of my channels do that. And same just content healthier birds and more eggs haa. Also they need to sleep and they cant properly with light. I think that is a big part too.

    Have you ever tried freeze drying your tomato sauce. Huge space/energy saver and the powder rehydrates beautifully. I use way more tomatoes in powdered form than my canned sauce. Freeze drying also works so well for veggies, I make soup in jars that I pour into my crockpot, add water or broth and they rehydrate beautifully.

    Just to be clear, this is how we live, for us it's not a challenge anymore, it's just what we do/how we live. We've been building up to the point where we can go 6 months doing this, and then we start harvesting from the garden.. We could most likely go a year, but like I said I like to stock up with pantry staples twice a year. I called it a challenge, because that's how many people would see it. We've started out doing what I called a pantry challenge in 2015 and just continued. Started and building up what we grow to get to get to this point. It's not overnight. Otherwise it’s just stockpiling food if we were to buy more food on top of what we have, then save more food from the garden. I guess some of our rules: 1. We don’t go grocery stores at all. Nothing. 2. We go as long as possible, usually from October to May. 3. We do this to clear space for preserving food in the spring/summer. 4. We can barter/trade with others for items/food, but this usually happens during the spring/summer/fall months and not the winter. 5. That’s about it. It’s a way to be creative and thankful for what we have. If we absolutely needed to go grocery shopping we would.
