Survival Garden

If you haven’t yet heard, you will eventually need a Survival Garden. What is a survival garden you ask? Imagine you wake up tomorrow morning and start going through your routine. You grab your coffee and click on the morning news, to which you find out that food stores have bare shelf’s and not because you bought all the food. What would you do if your normal supply lines for food are cut off? Your survival garden is what you will be immediately starting, if you don’t already have a full time garden. The good news for you is that you have a decent amount of food stocked up for long term storage that you can survive on for a few months or so. Because as a prepper you know we need at least 2-3 months worth of food and water saved up in case of an emergency. But as part of being a prepper you have already added one of the 50 Variety Survival Seed Kits like we have. I keep one in my house, and one in my bugout bag. It’s also one of my favorite things to give as a gift!

Survival Garden

A survival garden can be done in a variety of ways, but the recommended way is inside of a green house. When you are growing your own food to survive on, it’s important to keep the growing process going year round. A green house allows your to keep a warm growing environment even when conditions outside aren’t ideal. During the summer time, you will grow as much food as you can manage. When starting a survival garden during the start of winter, utilize every resource you have to grow the most food you can. Use home made devices to help your plants flourish like the following trellis for your peas:   Survival gardens can be started indoors. If you have windows that allow for long exposure times to the sun, you can start your seeds inside your house. As the seeds develop you can move them out too your green house. This will give you a little more room to grow the precious food you will need for your family. Growing sprouts is a good way to get some food started quickly. Sprouts take only a few days to grow to an editable size, and if done right can be self replenishing. During the summer grow as many large vegetables as you can. Squash, cabage, corn, potatoes, onions, and turnips all make bulk food for canning. These vegetables take up more room in your meals and makes them more filling. Practice starting a survival garden before you need one. Growing your own food is one of the most important skills you can learn. Teach your friends, family, and children how to start a survival garden. It’s can not only be very fun for kids, but will also teach them skills they can use later on in life.   What kind of vegetables would you grow in your survival garden?
