A couple years ago I wrote a post on the current benefits and small history of MREs in the US.
Just recently found an interesting video of a couple brave souls sampling a variety of aged MRE packs - something that I'd be nervous to do myself. Although after watching this I feel a little better about the 2 MREs that have been in my fridge for a couple of years...
Yet another go at vegetable gardening and this time it's actually working. Last year we started gardening with seedlings inside and transplanting them into our raised garden when we thought they were ready. We were dead wrong. Not only were the seedlings not ready, it was too early in the season as a few cold New Hampshire nights pretty much killed everything in about a week's time. The only yield we had was literally ONE summer squash. On top of everything else the soil wasn't exactly in perfect condition for planting either. This year I decided to do it right - gutted the garden bed early on and added fresh soil with a mixture of compost and waited till there was no more cold nights in the forecast. Also made sure that the nearby family of groundhogs would have a hell of a time breaking in with two layers of fencing. It ain't pretty, but it gets the job done.
