Oh Chit! A gardening technique for taters

[Tsiyu]

9. They do send me a catolog

This year, I am using up EBT benefits (since I am soon to get a real paycheck, won't need them anymore) to purchase seed.

Note to lurkers: I have qualified for EBT for YEARS (and have also paid taxes for years,) but have not chosen to sign up out of pride and such. This year, after seeing a news report of some people living in a mansion and using SNAP, and after talking to a teabagger family who were on food stamps, I decided I would get a bailout, too. I had absolutely NO income at all.

If the oil companies and GE and Wall Street can get subsidies, so can the Tsiyu. Turns out without it I might have starved while looking for a job for months. I appreciate the fact that I got some minimal help unlike the bankers, who got a maximum infusion of help. Now I have a job, and probably still qualify, but I won't use them if I am making my own living - again, out of pride.

So I have some $$$ left and seeds and food plants are covered. I don't think Johnny's would accept the payment method....
