Video: Apropos 1929 - Plant a Victory Garden Now!

Dear brothers and sisters,

The headlines blare - Silicon Valley Bank, First Republic Bank and Credit Swisse. Apparently a chain reaction is occurring. Many see this as a prelude to a crisis that will exceed in severity that of 2007-2008. All this was preceded for weeks by a drum roll of  job layoffs in the thousands in the high tech sector.

Surely you’ll agree that our feature this week on the Great Depression seems rather cogent.  It began ostensibly with a stock market crash on October 29, 1929. By 1933, 13 million Americans were without  jobs, the unemployment rate was 25% and more than 1/3 of the banks went out of business .The financial crisis was global in extent and full recovery did not occur until the end of the decade.

We say, time to plant your Victory Garden!

First Ben, our favorite gardener, guides us exuberantly as he  sows seeds with love, care and devotion. Starting a Spring garden is indeed a high point for every gardener- so let’s get sowing!

Then Doug and Stacy, who grow 90% of the food they eat, tell us about the challenges facing backyard gardeners in today's world.

We conclude with  Melissa showing  us how to plant a fruit tree. She guides us step by step into abundance. Why only one? Dare to plant an orchard.

Then there is a video featuring a healthy bread using  almond flour and coconut flour as the main ingredients.

Alive, organic cashew butter from raw, sun-dried cashews is on sale this week. Regularly $15.99 now  $12.99.

Our March Victory Garden sale includes sunflower butter and California short grain brown rice.

May we wish you and family a vibrant Spring of good health, prosperity and success,
