Today I spent my time preparing my container garden for spring planting. I had a very special helper, my 3 year old granddaughter. I love watching plants grow, flower, and produce. There is a sense of accomplishment that I helped them thrive.

I am concerned about a food shortage this summer, fall, and winter. I am not talking about the processed poison they try to sell us, but real fruits, grains, vegetables, and meat. Growing potatoes in bags is super easy. I am going to purchase a few more potato bags so I can grow a larger variety. Last years crop included sweet potatoes and Yukon gold potatoes. My favorite is a new red potato for soups and stews.
