"Self-sufficiency does not mean 'going back' to the acceptance of a lower standard of living. On the contrary, it is the striving for a higher standard of living, for food that is organically grown and good, for the good life in pleasant surroundings... and for the satisfaction that comes from doing difficult and intricate jobs well and successfully." John Seymour ~ Self Sufficiency 2003

    It was the figs and calcium that impressed me. Of course, we have fig trees!

      Leigh - I didn't know that either. We don't have a fig tree, and seldom see figs for sale in our local supermarkets. Perhaps we should plant a tree... :)

    I didn't know some of those things, but I still like to eat them, whatever they are!

    Fascinating stuff!
    Don't know if I'm the Sandra you are referring to? (Though my blog is 'Sandies' Patch'). I sometimes leave comments and sign 'Sandra'.

Thank you for taking the time to comment - it makes my day and removes the "loneliness' of sitting at my screen blogging supposedly to myself ;) I try and reply as quickly as possible so please forgive me if sometimes my response is delayed.
