Long reads, but fascinating just the same. Reminds me of my Grandmother's garden books I read when I was a kid. Lots of folks back then had background and insight from upbringing and necessity, the mother of making-do.

What I am reading here is some of what I already do and figured out over the years. It would be interesting to know if back then, did people follow all this or just use bits and pieces? Even so, using some of it would have been useful.
A great piece of history!

I think it's interesting, but kind of sad, that today there are so many people who rely on processing for the food that ends up on their tables. Does anyone think and/or worry about the skills that are being lost and how people will cope in the future if they're reliant on external production methods for so much of what they need and use regularly?
This extends beyond food growth and production though; it includes basic skills. I remember some years ago when someone wrote on one of the forums I visited that she didn't know how to sew on buttons. I think she used glue, or some method that was so unconventional it was shocking.
