So many of us feel the same! I live in Midwest in an hoa but I’ve been planting anything I can that won’t get me into trouble. I’ve planted raspberry, blackberry, grapes, blueberries strawberries, about to plant asparagus, 2 dwarf cherry trees, I’ve built garden beds and fabric planters, I’ve got over 100 packs of various seeds. I got my first carrots in the fall and they were amazing and all sorts of colors. We have about 1/3 acre in a planned neighborhood. If I could get chickens I would! I got a couple hydroponics growing what I can indoors too, but so many other moms or friends I talk to want to start. They can sense it, others mock us and it makes me sad but also know I need to be able to protect what I have. Listening to badlands media, one of the guys is like “gun is more important than food” because if it’s chaos you basically can’t play nice. Which kind of ticked me off, how about prepare yourself and not focus on trying to take from others. So many joke about it, “yeah I don’t need to store food, I have a gun I’ll just take what I want”.
