For long-term survival, knowing how to grow your own vegetables and herbs is prepping in a way that will give you food, for a long as you need it.
Gardening takes you from being a consumer to someone who produces what they need. You don't have to have a multi-acre farm - you can easily grow food in raised beds, on your balcony or porch, in containers and even on your windowsills.
If you are new to gardening, start with easy to grow, high-yield plants like;
- lettuce
- tomatoes
- radishes
- beans
- potatoes
Learn what grows best in your climate and soil type.
Study how to compost your food scraps, which plants to grow near each other and natural pest control. Growing your own food helps you learn about the rhythms of nature. It teaches you what it takes to sow, hoe to know when food is ripe, harvest time and and how to preserve the excess bounty.
Gardening builds patience and self-reliance.
You should also learn how to;
- save seeds
- rotate crops
- deal with setbacks like drought, disease, or pests.
Start right now with a couple of plants, don't wait until you are down to the last can in your pantry and are desperate for a solution.
How to Grow Pounds of Food, Every Week
Gardening to produce a good harvest takes a few seasons of trial and error. In a crisis, a small food-producing garden gives you nutrition and independence. Even a few fresh tomatoes and greens can supplement your stored rations and prevent dangerous vitamin deficiencies.
We are living in a time that means we never know when the store shelves may become empty and there is no food available to purchase. This is where your backyard becomes your personal food bank.
The ability to grow, even a small variety of vegetables, is survival insurance.
Start today. Because food security isn't just about what you have, it's also about knowing you have a way to feed the family, everyday.
