For most of the US this cold blast will be the last and it will be time to start getting our hands dirty. I have a 12 acre farm that fully supports my family and leaves plenty left over for storage and the future. While I'm biased a bit, I think it's time to bring back victory gardens.
Get out there, dig in the dirt, and plant some seeds.
Feel free to ask advice here!
I own land, but I do not live on it. My profesion demands that I travel a LOT, so tilling soil and tending animals is not an option.
I have a hydroponics set up in my living room . Shelving/ lighting/ circulation system to grow all the vegetables I would in a garden. It requires electricity, so I have a secret generator and lots of gas hidden on the balcony for future use, and it takes the whole living room (The Brainwashing Box and Brainwashing instructional seating have been removed).
Instead of a pantry full of canned garden, I have a second bedroom full of self-grown dehydrated and vacuum sealed veggies and self-harvested wild game jerkies.
As close as I can get to a victory garden, and what my circumstances demand.
Roger to all that. planned for and in place....
And if it gets to the point that gas becomes unavailable, I wont be living in the city anymore, anyway. I'll be on my own land and I'll have other options that I wont discuss here.
