Junie, you can get books on the great Depression that has a lot of recipes and home remedies in it...and what they used to substitute. Just do a search on a bookstore site thumbup

As much as I complain about the work in a hobby farm....there are many people who wish they were in our shoes at the moment. I am so thankful that I have always been a frugal person.

I hand tilled my garden today(meaning I spent hours turning ground with a shovel), I'll rake it out tomorrow....got to get it ready to put the potatoes in, in a few weeks. With the addition I added this year, I can get in an extra row of potatoes.
