Peace and Blessings Family,

We are in class now (http://destee.com/chat), with Brother OldSoul, talking about food, things wrong with it, survival tactics, etc.

I just asked in class, this question, and so i'm asking the Family too ...

What plants / foods would you have in your SURVIVAL GARDEN?

In this garden, you'd grow all the food you needed to sustain yourself, and get nothing from elsewhere.

Thanks in advance.

:heart:

Tomato

Zucchini Squash

Lettuce

Pepper

Radish

Spinach

Cucumber

I would have some of the same things as Maîtresse

How many have space and land for Gardens?

I have some space.. but not like a garden should be. A garden should be at last 10 feet by 10 feet.


Couldn't we buy a empty lot next door and use it as a neighborhood garden?

I would plant some Mustard and Spinach Greens.

tomatoes, collard greens, turnup greens, cabbage, carrots, onions and some kind of pepper.

Two summers ago when I started my survival garden, I planted two pear trees and 4 cherry trees, 3 raspberry bushes, a currant bush, black berry bushes and grapes. That year my husband grew green beans, cucumbers, tomatoes corn, peppers. I also planted some strawberries but I will need to refine my technique because they died.

This coming summer I plan to try Blueberries and/or strawberries, carrots, black eye pea, red kidney beans, black beans. I am also starting a medicinal garden with things such as echinacea, st johns wort, cohosh, etc... Also I will continue my effort on identifying what "weeds" I already have and their uses so that I'm not removing a something nature already provided only to buy it and replant it (have done that too) such as dandelion and red clover...

I dedicate space and time to growing things that once established come back (perennials) such as the berry bushes, small trees and alot of medicinal plants.

I also learned how to identify and save the seed from the carrots so I don't have to buy those and I'm going to try to save the seed from the tomato plants cause i'm tired of buying them when I can grow them myself.

Also for survival purposes, I started investigating what plants that can be used for food and medicine are growing in empty lots, parks etc in my neighborhood...
