Buy high-quality metal raised beds: https://shop.epicgardening.com – Preparedness, prepping, SHTF – it all can seem a bit like a maniacal obsession with the end of the world. At the same time, there’s real value in becoming even a LITTLE more self-reliant in our modern society – that’s what growing your own food is all about!
Here are my Top 9 crops for survival:
1. Beans
2. Corn
3. Squash
4. Cabbage
5. Potatoes
6. Kale
7. Sweet Potatoes

What do you want to see me talk about more in light of recent news?
This was great! Can you show us how you planted them?
Instead of using light can I micro grow on my lanai in Florida. It’s a pool cage Will it be enough light? Or do I need a light and do in house
I love your videos I’m trying to do what u do
Papayas are easy to grow in the right climate. Just throw are from the papayas you eat and several will grow and produce for years. Several other Asian vegetables produce for years in large bushes. Drum stick trees, exec the leaves are edible. You can plant sweet potatoes under the walking areas of your raised beds. Other gardeners do it! Many can be grown in balconies for people who live in flats. Methi grows v fast and is nutrient dense and adds nutrition to soil and good for diabetes. Malabar spinach is easy to grow indoors even in UK or outdoors in tropical countries. Cassava. Etc
I dislike some of your vegetable choices, especially in an urban environment. When considering apocalypse veggies, one must consider the ability to produce and save seed from the crops. Cabbages and corn especially require rather large numbers of plants, and a therefore a large amount of space, to produce seed without creating a genetic bottleneck. Also some seeds do not maintain germination viability well over time. Cabbage seeds will lose germination viability rapidly, can drop from 80-90% to under 50% in 1 year.
I would add onion and garlic for immumity and medicinal purposes
Bell peppers and onions.
Plant Valerian root or lemon balm for anxiety.
Idk about you, but I intend to be calm for the apocalypse. Through the power of herbs that is.
Should have grown peppers.
HOW THE HELL CAN YOU SKIP THE PEPPERS???!?!??!
you should try to grow potatoes in hay like I do. put down some old nasty hat first . then add a layer of potatoes then hay you can and I have put 5 layers in one pile . but if you just do 1 layer then as the taters grow add a little hay like you do when you hill them. then when you want some taters for dinner go move the hay pick a few taters cover them back up and the plant will keep producing more potatoes . my Grandpa use to store his food in a pile of hay , cabbage, carrots , potatoes since he didnt have a cellar . the hay will rot and give you the best soil to grow other veggies next year .
