I think growing a garden is the smart thing to do this year.

I went and got some more plants today.

About high prices: I have noticed that bread is a lot higher too. At
least a dollar more per loaf here in Kentucky, which to me is a lot. I
heard on TV that there was also a grain shortage. And in other
countries people spend up to 80% of their takehome pay on food, and
now food prices are rising a LOT.

It's a perfect time to plant -- and you can get seeds for crops such
as zucchini and peas that are great foods and economical.

Do you have enough space? Do you get a lot of sun?

About raising meat: are you sure you can't raise rabbits or chickens?
You may want to check around your area to find farmers that can sell
you meat at a good price that is from their farm. Around here, there
are a few that do that.
