What percentage of your diet do you grow yourself?

Not nearly as much as we should be. No garden this year due to our hectic schedule. We love our own beef but we only eat it 2-4 times a month. The blackberry crop this year was bad (I'm assuming it has a lot to do with the harsh winter we had).

Zero. I don't have time to grow a garden and I'm not wasting a good calf. I can buy the cuts I want, don't really care to eat a lot of what's on one. I don't like hamburger.
Do hope to get a few acres back in vegetables to sell next year though and get the chickens back.

I'm a bit like that. For me, a garden would just be a waste; I guess I eat fairly light sometimes. Wehn I was growing up, wr would eat garden stuff just because it was there; every meal we would have tomatoes of some sort. I'm juts not in the mood for that stuff all the time, and I don't want to force it down just because I've got it.

Sometimes, someone will give me something from their garden. (they volunteer, I don't ask for anything). If they give me very much, it will spoil before I eat it all.
