A garden is a great way to add to your preparedness regimen. You and your family can eat fresh from the garden for many weeks and preserving your own home grown wonderfulness is a tasty way to build up your food storage for the winter months.
Whether you have a plot of land in your yard, a few raised beds, or simply a small pot or two of herbs, what an awesome feeling it is to know that you can help sustain life through being prepared and self reliant!
Start preparing soil and gathering seeds now. Some of you may have plant starts in the works, and some may already have hearty seeds planted. The rain we are getting now will be a nice healthy beginning to watering in the upcoming drought year. If you are worried about watering with the current restrictions in place, consider a less wasteful approach such as hand watering, drip system or watering deep and less often. Spread mulch around your plants to retain moisture in the root beds.
