When you have a love for a certain type of item it is best to vow that you will give one to someone else who will love it (or sell at a reasonable price) if you get another rather than say you will not get another. That way you can move up without losing more storage space.
A garden is, and was the best way to have fresh vegetables.
The metal for tins (cans) being the critical material is illustrated very well by a small tag/pamplet that I picked up at an antique store explaining how to replace canned coconut with boxed dried coconut with a promise that canned...
