Trying to stick to a self grown plate, has proven to be a little challenging.Coffee seems to be a big set back although we grow many herbs and herbal tea type plants. Sweetner could be on our set back list as well.Our bees hives are not ready for a harvest and we've used others products. We are seeing how spoiled we are. Knowing that ,not many years back, the majority of food came from one's own food plot is interesting.More so, is the fact that many people had larger families and had to provide for them and their own live stock as well.We are impressed with their skills, determination and fortitude!
