 4 Best crops to grow in a survival garden

Pick foods that are easy to grow.

 

Growing survival food is not the time you want to try growing delicate or untested food.

 

Also, you’ll want to grow nutritionally dense food.

 

The goal is to provide food and calories during times of difficulty. Growing something with no nutritional value is pointless.

 

Considering these factors, here are a few foods to add to your garden.

 

Potatoes:

 

Potatoes are a good source of vitamins and minerals. They are easy to grow in most climates.

 

It takes about 140 days to grow potatoes and they need 4-6 hours of sunlight per day.

 

You can store them in a cool, dry place after harvesting. Or even pressure can them to make them last longer.

 

Carrots:

 

One of the best things about growing carrots is that they can survive underground during the winter.

 

Simply cover the plants with dirt when it gets cold so they have plenty of protection.

 

From a nutritional standpoint, carrots have a good amount of antioxidants. Once grown, you can freeze or dehydrate carrots to store them long-term.

 

Corn:

 

Corn contains vitamin C, magnesium, and fiber. It’s a good staple food that grows in the summertime. Corn is high in calories and low maintenance.

 

Also, corn is easy to put with other foods. You can mix it with other vegetables to provide a good nutritional balance.

 

You can also add other things to corn such as bell peppers, onions, and jalapeƱos.

 

Sage:

 

Sage is an herb with antibacterial benefits…

 

Sage grows well within a wide range of temperatures. You can harvest sage into the fall and it will survive longer compared to other herbs.

 

It can be used to treat sore throats and even stop bleeding.

 

From a nutritional view, sage is a good source of vitamin K and vitamin A.

 

Also, the flavor of sage is very strong, so you can add a tiny amount to your food and get much-needed flavor.

 

The larger the leaves grow the more intense the flavor will be.

 

The fact is, a garden is one of the best ways to prepare for a food shortage.

 

There are many things you can grow and store for the long term…

 

But these four crops are a good start, and can provide nutrients and flavor to keep you fed when food is hard to find.

 


When someone talks about prepping or being a prepper, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? While there are several answers, the image that stands out the most is probably one of a person who has a lot of stuff. 

Totes and shelves filled with gear, supplies, food, and water are the hallmark image of what being prepared looks like. Preppers are not really known for being minimalists because to some degree, that kind of defeats the purpose. But in the last several years, the idea of minimalist prepping has popped up and has been circulating within some circles. 

Can a prepper, someone who desires to be ready for emergencies and is partly defined by the number of supplies they have, also be a minimalist? To answer that, let’s go ahead and break down some areas of prepping where the amount of stuff could be reduced. But first…

Given inflation & the continued incompetence of Biden [& Canada commies] I think everyone should consider a garden.
