The way inflation is going...That scenario could very well happen

winter meals now!

I have a wide variety of seeds ... some in long-term storage in
the freezer , but a lot right here at my elbow - the ones for
planting in the next few days are on my desk . Mostly field peas
and squashes . Got the last of the 'maters in the ground today ,
peppers are doing nicely and the zukes and okra are coming up .
Salad greens didn't do well this year , weather was too weird .

I have a bunch of stuff in, but the ground is still a bit cold and
germination is slow. I put in some Round-up-ready sweetcorn. That
ends the seeding problem for that produce. I am scouting out some
English Ivy or Boston ivy to provide a good climber for shady
privacy screen. I think that can be raised from cuttings but not
sure. Maybe there is even more aggressive vines available for shady
area's?

Have you considered kudzu ?

We had Kudzu down by Sherman Texas for grazing. I wasn't aware that it
was a climbing vine. I don't think it can survive our Northern
winters. But I will look into it. Thank you.

Actually I was joking ... down in Mississippi and other rural areas in The
South it was planted to control erosion . Big mistake , that stuff grows so
fast you can watch it grow . Overtakes and kills most anything in it's way
and has actually taken down power and telephone lines from it's weight .
