A question for the AMA. I need all of your tomato tips. I have some amazing plants that are straight out of Little Shop of Horrors, but my tomatoes will not turn red! I’m in Oregon and I’m afraid I won’t get any before the weather turns!
I have never been a saver. Am 66 years old and even at this age what can I say? 🤷♀️ a rainy day fund? Or a trip to the Caribbean? The choice has been obvious. BUT...I lately discovered a weird compulsion to start buying extras every month. Not because I’m a prepper at heart but because I wrapped my head around the concept that even if that page of meat isn’t officially on sale, compared to next month’s prices, it sure is now.
I actually have a savings account now. It’s lurking in the frozen dark behind the GE freezer door. No cash but a crap ton of Meow Mix (the ingrates have to eat too).
We now have 2 freezers! We have a fund set up that money goes into every month and we buy a cow, pig, and lamb from a local farmer as needed. It has been such a blessing to our family to have all that meat socked away. Our last cow averaged just under $5 a pound! It’s a lot of money to have on hand but so much cheaper in the long run. Oh, and amazing quality meat.

"The secret to success is just being cringe" - that may be some of the best advice ever. You have good friends!

Did you ever get something to let you know if there's a power failure/temperature drop of some sort?
