Ready for Self-Sufficient Gardening?

That's such a tiny amount of rice. How much do you get at one time?

Small packages. Don't make rice that often, just want to securely store it. Here is my usual rice jar, on the counter, next to the family sized tea bags in the 2 jars I inherited from MIL. The other is a half gallon jar, now downstairs in my pantry.
These 1/2 gallon canning jars are underused, imho.

@Ridgerunner , THAT is why I keep telling my family I can't go on ANY vacations, unless I have a housesitter that my dogs know.

Ah, I see. I have a 5 gallon bucket to hold my rice in, but we eat rice 3-4 times a week.

I have pounds and pounds of rice squirreled away. My DD went to her Winco, and the 10# bag of white rice that used to cost $5, yesterday cost $7.13. Thats a 42% increase. I softly suggested she buy two bags and store one away for a bit.

Got a 25lb bag of rice in the pantry....rice is something I can't very well grow for myself, so I stock up.

i really love being home, home is vacation, i don't need to really go anyplace else, i've done my share of travelling. not that i might not go off again some day, but for now this is home and it is a good place for me to be.

Home IS vacation...with chores.

I agree. After working away from home for most of my life, the chance to STAY home and do work I love is like a perpetual vacation for me. I love the chores!

me, too!

meaningful exercise is the only kind i really enjoy, swimming is good, hiking is good, kayaking and canoeing also were fun and enjoyable but gardeing is where my heart is most content.
