Gardening and subsistence living

With prices going up and me on a fixed income, I challenged myself.  So I started hydroponic gardening to see if I can produce vegetables through the winter.  Also I decided not to waste the vegetables I grow or buy. Before the store vegetables just didn't last and I was throwing them away before I could eat them. I decided to dehydrate my wilting vegetables or freeze them or can them.  Now I get exercise and produce 100% of my vegetables. I also produce cattle, hunt geese, hunt deer and fish in our pond and collect oysters from our stream.  I save so much money I can take more vacations during the year. We also produce our own hay. Now that's the way to exercise and produce food!
