A member on a social site I belong to mentioned that Canadian sporting goods stores as far as eight hours north of the border are getting calls from US stores inquiring about purchasing their entire inventory. Not a good sign at all.

My ideal type of garden would be all food forest, but here in Indiana, can't get superhuman amounts of food out of my limited space. I don't till, cover with leaves/compost/cardboard. This is my third year, so almost a cycle of the main growing areas done, heavy feeder, potatoes, legumes...

Thanks for sharing that. I've been aiming for more cold resistant, shorter season crops. Didn't look at all of those, but purple dove seems to be speedy in that regard. Tasted my first batch of tepary beans this evening. Took a long time to cook. Had with 'ham' and very earthy in flavor.
