Well Yas Forums, have you taken the seed-pill yet?

Do you know how to garden or farm? Have you tried it before? Do you have gardening tools? Might be a good idea to download a bunch of gardening and farming videos or books abiut the specific plants you bought in case the internet collapses in the upcoming apocalypse (which it won't)

I have a survival seed vault. If food shortages start becoming a thing my backyard will become my garden...

Got my peas and taters in, wife and I just started about 40 plants inside in those little peat discs. I also bought two Pinot vines yesterday for only $6 each, I don't know where to put them yet though.

Fennels are up in profusion already, and my parsley never dies so I have to constantly use it. Even a hard freeze doesn't kill that thing.

Yeah it's getting close to spring, you have to let the plants grow before you can eat them.

If you aren't starting and planting yet you're just like a normie without seeds, ie fucked.

You don't get much choice when to start your garden. You cannot wait until the food is gone. You need to start planting between March and May depending on your latitude. Some seeds require certain soil temps to germinate.

Root veggies tend to be planted the earliest. They require cooler soil temps to germinate. Plant them between March 15th and April 15th.

Lettuce tastes better when grown during cooler weather. Broccoli will go to flower if the temperatures rise too high. Onions get woody if the soil is dry. They will also bolt (go to seed) if there is a cold snap or heat wave.

Tomatoes, squash, and peppers should be planted in Mid-to-late May.

Green beans should be planted late April / early may. Pick them when they are young and tender before the beans can form. Once the beans form, the pod becomes fibrous.

Plant corn in blocks, not long rows.

Stop cutting asparagus mid-summer and allow them to grow. This will develop more roots and more shoots next year. Pull the berries and sow them next year.

Veggie plots should include flowers such as marigolds. Companion planting helps keep insects away. Planting the wrong plants next to each other can cause an infestation of insects. Look up companion planting charts.

Finally someone who knows what they are talking about.

Tomatoes, peppers, and squash should be started indoors around this time of year. Transplanted outdoors in may. They do not like cold weather.

Kept the kids off school because virus today. Made the orrible lil things dig the vegetable patch over. :D

The problem is that it takes too long to grow.

My seed stockpile looks more like this:

You dont need acres to grow grains, a family household can be fully supplied with all the flour they need for a year with a 20 foot by 50 foot plot of wheat. Thats small enough to be sown and harvested by hand with a sythe or sickle.

Just so everyone knows. Seeds do have a shelf life. They need to be used up and renewed. Take the time harvesting seeds from your garden. Remove them from the tomatoes, squash, and peppers. Allow some of the green beans to grow to maturity and dry out on the plant itself. Harvest the dried pod.

You can eat a bolted onion but you have to take the woody core out. It sucks and they don't store.

I just finished the last of the onions I harvested last fall (over 100) and tomorrow I am planting 100 starts. Onions can be grown compactly, you can grow 100 easy in just a 6x6 garden patch.

My soil is actually unable to grow anything. Feels bad.

>growing wheat
>not growing peas and taters
wheat is a luxury item and barley produces more if you want to go that route

Build raised beds and start creating garden soil by mixing top soil with straw and manure.

People have germinated seeds that are over 2000 years old. I have some rare seeds I keep in the freezer that I got over 10 years ago and they all germinate perfectly.

Man can’t live off red alone

I agree with this. Potatoes, carrots, beets, and green beans will produce the most for you.

I got your seed right here

I forgot to order my my Himalayan rock salt ghee from new Zealand

just did my potato and onion seed planting last week. feels good senpai.

Lmao I don't even own land wtf am I supposed to do with this shit? Grow a tomato in an apple sauce cup?

My beans don't do nearly as well as peas for some reason. It's not that warm here though, I live right on the Pacific in the PNW (can hear the waves through my open window now).

Taters and peas are my mainstays. And tomatillos do amazing here. They also keep on the shelf for months, I harvested mine in mid-October and ate them until January.

I'm putting in some extra taters this year just for fun. I like the purple ones, they don't seem to rot or attract pests at all.

We don't even have topsoil. It's like a brick of calcium. I'd have to buy that too. I've done it before it's just a miserable amount of work.

Break up the soil with a pick if you have to. Add gypsum, organic matter (compost, straw), nitrogen (manure). You can also do lasagna mulching, layering cardboard, compost, and straw many times.

Every seed is different retard.

And it's expensive. Setting up good vegetable gardens is not cheap.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caliche

Seeds last a long ass time, user. Doesn't really matter which type you choose. If you put them in the freezer in plastic bags so they don't freeze dry too bad they will last as long as you will.

Arid climate soils accumulate calcium. An electric jack hammer helps, you need to be consistent with adding compost and cover cropping each winter.

What kind of beans?

Dang went to eat dinner and the thread is getting some steam. If any knowledgeable anons want we could start an /ag/ agriculture general or something. We would need beginner pdf's and info graphics. Material on small scale farming in urban settings and limited space would be nice too

Close to the answer brah. You can grow potatoes in small trash cans. Tomatoes in hanging baskets. Corn in large flower pots. Carrots can be grown in plastic storage tubs. Urban, in door gardening is a thing - it can be done.

Most dollar stores, hardware stores, etc sell seeds extremely cheap and basic tools won't run you much either

Some of those need to be started now or soon or there wont be any use for them this year.

Burn all your paper trash. Keep your food scraps and kitchen waste. Compost everything organic. Piss in that pile of ashes regularly. It can be done.

I've tried about 10 types, green, dragon tongue, purple, yard, shelling, you name it.

Fava beans do well, I have a bunch (maybe 3 dozen) I planted in the late summer which have 4-6' long stalks now and are flowering in profusion, but they are kind of slow to develop. You can pick a half dozen to maybe 2 dozen at a time all summer into the next fall, though, every few days, so it's good for variety.

But typical beans are no good here. I tried making my own hybrids, too, but that failed as well with poorly developed beans which don't germinate except maybe 1/10. I have my own hybrid peas that I developed myself over the last 5 years and that's all I planted a few weeks ago, they are coming up like crazy now too. They are a stringless edible pod that does make dense packed pods too, so you can use them as baby peas, stringless "snow pea" analogues, or even just let 'em go to shelling peas too.

I started a tray of seeds yesterday, gotta do another one today . Just been so demoralized and keeping a kid that’s used to adventure inside is hard.

Pole or bush?

Soon

Consider Contender snap bean and Roma II.

For fertilizer use just a light dose of 13-13-13.

If you are using a high nitrogen fertilizer the plant will grow large but may not produce pods.

I live on a rural farm in the south and grow beans almost every year.

Too windy here for pole beans. Bush type only.

Hmmm, I'll plant a couple tests. My issue is there's nothing to block the wind between me and Hawaii. I'm literally line of clear sight to the Pacific up on a big ass hill.

I chose this property because I'm also a ham ;^).

HAM - outstanding.

Contender and Roma II are both bush beans. Contender makes a round pod while the Roma II makes a flatter wide pod. Both are excellent eating though.

I typically buy in bilk at the local farm supply store where I can buy seeds by the pound.

2 large survival seed packets and 2 cleared acres to plant in.
Small tractor with tiller attachment doesn't hurt.
(smug expression)

The wind is constant all summer, it never ever rains (rains 8 months, no rain at all 4), and that just kills the thinner plant structures. Rounder ones would do better for sure.

Last summer it rained three times here for a total of like 1/4 all together. I use drip hose irrigation, that black leaky stuff, and a timer and I barely have to even think about the garden.

I'm building a small wood frame greenhouse now with that clear corrugated plastic stuff, the heavy duty plastic like you'd see over a deck or whatever. It's only going to be like 4' deep and 8' wide but I am going to grow ginger, turmeric, and wasabi in there.

Good info dude. Can't wait for retards to stick random seeds in the dirt and wonder why the food isn't growing like they saw on tv.

What kinds of fruit, user?

I have jujubes that should bear for the first time this year.

Outstanding user, keep up the great work

The next stage for preppers since they closed down liquor sales at least in one state, is home brewing.

You can ferment anything sugary into alcohol. I make something called saft, it's a Nord drink you can make out of pretty much any type of sugary berry. Just get a bunch of berries, boil them with water to cover, let the whole pot cool with the lid on until it's about body temperature, then open the lid on your stock pot and real quick pitch in some yeast, champagne yeast works best for me, bread yeast will work fine too though. put saran wrap around the lid area and set it in the corner away from light and heat for a couple days, maybe 3-7 depending on how warm it is, and then just strain it out and let it settle for a little while, a big thumb handle glass jug works great for this.

Taste it, it'll be mild like a cider, 3% alcohol maybe. If you want more alcohol put a pinch more yeast in and a tablespoon or two of sugar and cap it for another week or three or as long as you like, it won't go bad and the alcohol level will slowly climb too.

I have made this concoction with like 30 kinds of berries and fruits I gathered wild on my hikes, even with rose hips + extra sugar.

I live in a fishing town and the only wasabi you can get out here is the dried fake shit. I need some of the real deal, I've been to Japan for a month before and I got hooked on it.

I grow herbs like rosemary, basil, mint, chillis etc and I have a lemon tree because they make a noticeable difference to a meal. But i CBF with the time, work and planning growing fruit and veg all year round entails.
When i used to drink i would occasionally make apple cider and agree, its dead easy.
