Problem with getting a vegetable garden and I'm by no means saying it isn't a good idea---is how are you going to protect it? When the s**t hits the fan folks are not going to be very civil.

Hunger and starvation usually doesn't make people show

their best sides. However, being forewarned is forearmed. The more

people are going to accept that things are bad, the more will be

ready to prepare for the times to come.

Waking people up from the 'it can't hit us, stop being an alarmist'

attitude is incredibly difficult. There will always be folks around who,

having been hit by reality, still believe it is not true.

There are some simple ways to garden that don't require big plots of dirt. One is container gardening: tomatoes grow just fine in large pots, along with most herbs. Also, if you stock up on a variety of dried beans and wheat grass seed, you will always have an ultra-efficient sprout garden. Sprouts are highly nutritious--you can survive on them for a very long time. And, they can be grown indoors in a sunny window in plastic trays or glass jars. There are some good videos on growing sprouts:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-1V4vtV8Yohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyBqHZeLJbk & feature=relatedI invested in a book on edible and medicinal plants found in my part of the country. Right now, you can research on the net and print out the same, but ordering a book would probably be less expensive and time consuming. I also purchased a small wilderness survival guide that shows you how to get water when none is apparently available, and how to filter bad water with everyday materials so that it is potable. Unless you are in the Sahara, there is much you can do to survive a challenge to your supply.The (food) items that will be essential (for tastier eating) are: cooking oils, salt, maple syrup/honey, powdered/canned milk, sea salt. Toilet paper, bandages and basic first aid supplies, batteries and battery operated essential tools will be important to have, also. A hand-cranked generator and an emergency radio-- battery-operated or hand cranked, would be great things to have.
