Just in case things get bad, I am planting my entire food forest with corn, peas and pumpkins:
I have no idea what’s going to happen, but it doesn’t look good for China right now. Fortunately, I know Who holds tomorrow.
Any of you guys preparing?

Maybe you do not use that much corn but it doesn’t seem like enough for a large family. Of course you can only plant what you have room for. I think everyone should be growing something. Even if it is just a few things or some herbs in the window to get started. I just don’t think we can depend on the “system” to provide what we need. Even if we didn’t have a pandemic, they was we get the majority of our food is not sustainable. We need to take at least some responsibility for our own food. I know many can’t have a large garden, I live in an apartment with very little outside space 2×5 foot area. I do grow micro greens, herbs, potatoes,squash and a few others in containers. Certainly not all the food I need but it does help. Still looking for land so maybe one day I will have room for corn. Take care and thanks for all the info you give to others.
If we do or don’t do it, someone will laugh
