All the talk about rising food prices, rising gas prices and an overall rise in the cost of living got me to thinking about growing a part of our food needs. We decided to put in a garden that was not labor intensive or dependent on roto tillers, tractors or any gas burning equipment.
We choose to do container gardening or as our grandson Ethan calls it: "a Pod garden."
We bought a 20 foot length of culvert pipe, cut it into 1 foot sections and filled them with horse manure. Some nice folks, just down the road, own a stable and let us get all material from the stalls. The plants love it. We choose to plant root crops that keep well and of course tomatoes. We choose heirloom, open pollinated verities. We added several 2x8 foot "grow boxes" and planted blackberries and Jerusalem Artichokes.
Then, I spilled coffee on my laptop (I knew better) and the keys would not respond - so - it was time to upgrade and I decided to go with the Mac. The Mac is great! Beats the PC by a country mile - But - there is a leaning curve, not huge, but takes a little getting used to. I would never go back to Windows again.
More later....Jim

I'm intrigued by the pod garden. Great choice for a computer, too! MacOS makes windows look (and feel... deep in the gut) like a gross hack.
