I did but they did very poor, 2 rows about 75ft yellow and red taders and produced about 30 reds, and 10 yellows very small. Beans wouldnt bloom and produce about to plow them under. Water bill through the roof, only about 3.5 inches rain since Jan in Central Tx, although did get 2inches last night so may let them go longer. Tomatoes loaded but are rotting before ripening in this heat so pulling green and let ripen on counter. Ton of yellow squash, cucumber squash and Guatemalan banana squash. About 300 onions put up in March. Got 1/4th of beef in freezer from BIL for leasing my 25acres pasture. 2 whitetail deer my 16yo daughter killed on our property, self processed in freezer. Hopefully the grid stays on, will be quickly making lots of jerky.
White rice will keep in a cool, dry place, for many years. Brown rice doesn't last as long in storage because of the protein. When it comes to subsistence mode, calories is the most important thing, although you do need protein for long-term healthy survival, that's where beans come in to combine with the rice for protein; has worked for thousands of years for many people in the world :)
I pulled my last tomatoes last weekend. Only thing growing now are sweet taters, watermelon and yard beans. I could grow gross okra in the summer for the pretty flower at least. Fruit trees are doing great and I have a litle nursery going with cuttings and seeds from the fruit. It took me a while to wrap my head around growing seasons in South FL. It's like not natural.
Too hot for mine where I have them place. They gave me maters from seed until the 1st of June. I'm happy with the experiment and saved a bunch of seeds. If you can string trellis them, I recommend it.
A few hundred square feet can go a lot farther than most people think.
You growing taders?

Lol yes. Good amount of meat there buddy!
sweet taders the most nutritious
And easiest to grow, They are a bit of an encroacher.
lol
:) Legit question, are you going to grow some potatoes? I don't know how long people can survive off just low calorie veggies

Can you grow apples and pears at least?
If you plant indeterminate types of tomatoes, they will bear continuously as long as the weather is warm enough. I've had tomatoes in December.
