Anons the famines are coming A backyard garden like mine may not be enough for complete independence but coupled with long term food and canning it can still save your life
These pics are a month old and the patch is doing amazing I have >peppers (sauces and dried chili flakes to barter) >Tomatoes (canning life) >various sqaushes >asparagus >celery >kale >spinach >dark leafy greens >onions and green onions >garlic bulbs and ginger
2 weeks ago I planted over 100 Daikon for fun (groundbreakers the big boys) so now my root veggies are >massive amounts of daikon >radishes >Turnips >onions >potatoes >scarlet nance carrots
Lads if you can your little gardens produce and couple that with your 25 year storage food (you did buy right?) your gonna fucking make it
I'm getting backyard chickens soon My yard is rather small so I'm going vertical next Im going to trellis all of my wood fence posts and have hanging gardens line my fences I also have a few Birdie tall raised beds coming
Probably about 30 sq ft, total Virgin ground though

Just looking to get some staples in If you were to have 5 or so different plants available to you based on ease of growing and utility, what might you pick?

Gardening in Arizona ain't easy but I'm doin' it.
Only things that seem to really want to grow right now are eggplant, peppers, and squash, and nothing is really thriving. A lot of other stuff I planted this season either didn't grow or died out.

I'd get some raised garden beds lad Do a heugelkultur aka >dig up your virgin ground >place big ass logs on the very bottom >then 1/3 to 1/2 of your raised bed with sticks leaves and organic matter >then add some good raised bed soil >add some blood and bone >mix it into the top soil >the worms will eat the logs over YEARS and eat the small branches in a matter of months and this will create dense rich soil
Tall raised beds may be a bit more expensive but trust me having tall raised beds will save your fucking back later on.
Again i live in a climate similiar to arizona where the soil is dogshit
I had to do a ton of remedial work to my soil if you wanna skip that bullshit get a tall raised bed and add in your own soil do a hugelkultur buy some red wriggler worms and add them into the bottom youll create a separate ecosystem in your own beds and directly underneath and wont get assraped by arizona
if your in southern arizona get some shade nets
granulated bonemeal and blood adds calcium and iron to the soil
Charles Smith
Can't you grow shitloads of prickley pear?
Carter Russell
Depends on where hes at in arizona flagstaff and parts of prescott are forests southern arizona is assraping hot desert
Brandon Sanders
>adds calcium and iron Ah, I see. I knew there had to be a good reason. I assume you can just order this bonemeal/blood mix? I don't do enough hunting to have enough bones on hand for this

Learn on those red radishes, I don't care what variety as long as it's the small red sphere ones.
You'll have to see what time to plant them based on your location(it's a suggestion, there is wiggle room.. but radishes in summer in the desert wouldn't do much)
Radishes are good because they grow fast, less than a month turnaround for those little guys. Getting those to work helps you learn and apply to the larger, longer taking plants
Also growing in earth is way easier than containers
implying i care about the majority of my fellow amerifats I care about my anons No excuse to not have nice healthy heirloom food

Ass raping hot desert here. Goings are well when the plants had time to establish before summer. These tomatoes have been alive since winter (I had a singular frost day which only killed some back on 3 of them)
Tomatoes, various peppers, aloe, grapes, Datura, dragonfruit, fig, pomegranate, new banana plant, orange, a tiny watermelon
I mean you can always bury it under your garden if you did
people cut up fish and put it a few inches under there tomato plants and it helps the tomatoes go apeshit
Joshua Anderson
Yeah I’ve got 20 weed plants growing in my front yard, only garden I need
Hunter Ramirez
WTF that looks exactly like my garden. I even have those exact tartar units. WTF. Mine are a Hügelkultur with rotting logs, sticks, twigs, then topsoil. Did you do the same? I'm currently growing a shit ton of garlic in them.
Luke Gonzalez
>asparagus i didnt read anything after that, because asparagus is a dumb choice to evade famine, 3 years of growing with intense care...
