My brother and I were saying the same thing this evening as we sat down to a delicious bowl of vegetable soup made entirely with our homegrown produce, plus salt and pepper, food is almost free when you grow your own. In addition to all the stuff we have in storage, I'm still getting mustard frills, coriander, mizuna , lettuce, February Orchid and parsley from my magic dome. No snow here thank goodness. I was snowed in for a week last year for the first time in my life and let me tell you, I did not like it.
