Hopefully they will start using something else instead of corn syrop, maybe something more healthy.

The milk is so expencive now. My dh would drink only whole, but paying 5.19 for 2 gallons would increase our budget or we would have to cut down on other food. So now I buy 2%. Kids don't see the difference, and dh drinks more tea instead now because the milk is not as tasty to him anymore. I drink milk only in my coffe, I use powdered for coffe instead of creamer, or sometimes finish the cup after the kids.

As of growing the garden, after trying growing cucumbers, radishes, tomatoes and other stuff, I figured that the tomatoes grow the best in my front yard, but don't want to grow in my back yard, so I have 5 tomato plants hiding in between my roses row. In my backyard I grow beets and onion, thats the only plants that won't be eaten by snails and other nasty creachures and still grow good even if I forget to water them once in a while. Carrots grow good to, but they don't grow long because the soil is too hard, and I don't want to dig it after I planted something there already. So I stick to the plants that don't require lots of work and still grow. I use green onlion year round in my soups, salads and almost any main dish. I use the beets for soup and some salads too, they grow year round too, plus I can use the top part, leaves, when the plant is still young.
