    DD found two chicken breasts in her freezer with freezer burn. I took them, cooked them up in my 8 qt crock pot for Eva, left a few bits and today added powdered thyme, powdered onion, scraped up a carrot and added chopped celery. I should make some nice broth by Thursday.

    Seed-saving Article in The Guardian

    Agreed! They should be grown, and then saved, and, if they cross pollinate, you can have you own by product.
