Back in '98 I was care taking a farm, while a divorce proceeded. Dug up a patch of grass [ Agropyrens repens]and planted it with turnips and long, white radish. That was four days of hard slog, real swink. The photo is of the first fruits, if you like, which I scrubbed and cut off the greens and the root tips, and took to town, where I sold them to the green grocer and bought *a 10 kilo bag of rice, lots of lentils and three different kinds of sauce: chili, kecap manis, and soy, with the fresh greens growing wild and the odd sweet potato and pumpkin, that kept me fed for four months or more, and I came back there twice after the settlement, and took home about two bushels more of food. It does not have to be fancy; it only needs be sufficient.
So there; do not doubt your ability to plan and act, and God will give you far more than what you put into it.[
