Time to get seeds and start planting for sure

A dry package of black eyed peas from the store are cheap seeds. Their leaves are edible and contain 40% protein.

Mulberry. Zones 5 to 10. Heavy producer and some types can be reproduced easily from cuttings. Rapid growth too and great wine or brandy can be made from them. They also attract emergency sources of protein.

@reliableprepper 2 месяца назад

Mulberries are indeed versatile! They thrive in zones 5 to 10 and can be propagated from cuttings, making them an excellent choice for gardeners looking to expand their orchards. Their rapid growth and the ability to produce a good yield of berries, which can be used in wine or brandy, add to their appeal. Plus, they attract birds, providing an additional natural resource for those interested in attracting wildlife or in need of emergency food sources.

@@reliableprepper I planted 5 of the dwarf everbearing in my yard along with half a dozen of two fig varieties plus pineapple guava. Maybe that`ll be enough for me and the wild birds. I`m making blackberry wine right now and some extra ethanol to "fortify" it if needed. I can`t wait until they make fruit but I`ll probably have to wait until next year. I have a huge blackberry patch though that produces way more than the birds and I can use.

@@baneverything5580 that sounds amazing. It is exciting waiting for everything to fruit. Nice little reward for all the work you put in

Microgreens, radishes, and lettuce grow the fastest. Sunchokes, sweet potatoes, and root vegetables are also good options. Rhubarb, asparagus, walking onions, etc come back every year so theyre useful as well. Berry bushes and vines that bear fruit like grapes and cherry tomatoes can also help keep you fed. Foraging and planting wild plants can be a stealthy way to garden without having a visible crop. Wild onions, ramps, purslane, plantains, dandelions, cat tail, etc blend in with nature.

@reliableprepper 2 месяца назад

Great list of plants! Microgreens, radishes, and lettuce really do shoot up quickly, making them perfect for continuous harvesting. Perennials like rhubarb, asparagus, and walking onions add so much value since they come back each year. And you’re right about the stealth benefits of foraging and planting wild plants-they blend in so well with their surroundings, reducing the risk of losing crops. It’s clever to use both traditional and wild plants to maximize food sources. Have you had success with any specific wild plants in your area?

@BrianM-44041 2 месяца назад

@@reliableprepper yes , wild onions, mustard garlic, stinging nettles, and ramps grow everywhere here. Clover, plantain, purslane, dandelion, wild blackberries, and sumac are all also within a few hundred feet of the house. I have some of the wild garlic and onions in my flower beds and containers as well. Oh, and also a ton of shiso. It's an anise/mint herb from Asia. Wild spearmint in my ditch too. Morels are fruiting right now in the wood line. Ne Ohio has abundant wild food. .I even see a chicken of the woods growing on the tree across from the driveway in the shade. Between that, the fish and the rabbits it's a backyard smorgasbord. Don't get me started on the deer 🦌 lol

Not only a small square foot garden but hydroponics & aeroponics are great to learn.

@reliableprepper 2 месяца назад

I've done the hydroponic lettuce tower before in the past. It is absolutely amazing the yield that you get. I've yet to try the aeroponics. 🙂

I never plant tomatoes yet often a bird will poop out a tomato seed that gets in my garden. Everyone grows tomatoes and are giving them away when they grow abundantly. I grow garlic and onions mostly as well as my personal supply of popcorn.

@reliableprepper 2 месяца назад

I love garlic, potatoes, khale, all super easy and tasty 😃

@baneverything5580 2 месяца назад

Try Goldenberry/Cape Gooseberry or the low growing type called the Ground Cherry. And try Danvers Half-Long Carrots. Plant a lot of the carrot seeds, water well, and cover with cardboard or plastic for several days to help them sprout better. Keep them watered well and start checking for sprouting after a few days. If you want gigantic radishes try Daikon and see what happens.

@reliableprepper 2 месяца назад

Great suggestions! Adding to those, consider planting companion flowers like marigolds near your vegetables to naturally deter pests. For those with limited space, vertical gardening with trellises for cucumbers or beans can maximize your growing area. Also, experimenting with different mulches, such as straw or leaf mold, can improve soil moisture and reduce weed growth, giving your plants a healthier environment to thrive in.

@@reliableprepper All my grass clippings are immediately added around my garden plants and fruit trees. I`ve made gardens in yards in just a couple of hours by digging holes 10 inches apart in a 15 ft row, adding rich soil to the holes, putting 8 ft tall saplings in the end holes, and weaving a trellis with twine between them for cucumbers and pole beans. I have cucumbers and various pole bean types already climbing the trellis here in Louisiana and carrots growing beneath the trellis.

@@reliableprepper I planted some dry sweet peas from a store package this year. They`re growing great. If you order seeds it often costs more for 30 seeds than a 1 or 2 lb bag of dry peas. I also like to allow some of my regular red radishes to bolt and make flowers and seed pods. The radish seed pods are very thick and delicious to eat raw. It`s a much larger and tastier harvest than their tiny radish bulbs. I planted green onions from the store this year too because you can harvest the green parts until they bloom and then collect a lot of seeds to plant in late summer for fall/winter green onions. Carrots from the store and other tubers will flower and produce abundant seeds.

I would love to know how many of each crop you need to plant to survive.

@reliableprepper Месяц назад

For a family of two aiming for self-sustainability, here are the top 5 essential crops to plant, along with the recommended quantities: Potatoes: Plant 20-25 plants. Potatoes are nutrient-dense and versatile in the kitchen. Beans: Plant 20-30 feet of row beans. They are rich in protein and improve soil fertility. Corn: Plant 50-75 plants. Corn is nutritious and can be used in various ways. Squash: Plant 6-8 plants. Squash is diverse in varieties and stores well. Tomatoes: Plant 6-8 plants. Tomatoes are packed with vitamins and can be used fresh or preserved.

I helped a bunny last year during the bad drought and let her eat some of my garden and gave her bowls of water. She normally doesn`t bother my garden much but there was nothing else to eat last year.
