  You bought land, right? Right!?

  whatever land you can take.

  some cities have programs that allocate park or unused land for community gardens. some even give you a small budget to build infrastructure like beds or buying dirt.

  grow staple foods that have long storage life: squash, pumpkins, carrots, rutabaga, potatoes. these can stay on your shelf for 3-8 months if stored properly. personally I have about 12 (3-5lbs each) spaghetti squash sitting since harvest in November that will be fine until about August.

  secondary are things you can freeze or dry: squash, peppers, peas, green beans, Lima beans, kidney beans, cabbage, beets. I dry most of these and toss them into soups and ramen.

  tertiary are foods you can process and preserved through canning, drying, or freezing: tomatoes (sauce or breaded), okra (breaded), etc…

  your diet will change, but you’ll feel good about what you’re cooking because you grew it.

  good luck!

    Plant the 3 sisters (beans, corn, squash/pumpkin) together in a small area to maximize shelf stable production. You will need to do a small amount of research on planting times but the times are fast approaching.

      And climate zone. There are many places where it is too cold.

  Not everyone lives like sardines in concrete jungles.

    Yeah I get that, what I’m saying is most of us can’t afford land, let alone a house. Cool if you can but I’m not lucky.

      Yes, it’s a shame how the system is designed to trap people into paying rent so they never save enough to own property.

    More than half the world lives in urban areas and farm land is by and far industrial.
