Don't really care for the fear mongering.
AWESOME Brian just AWESOME and so Appreciated ❤😊 Love you all. Hi Emilie and Noah ❤😊
You can eat the sweet potato leaves. I just found this out this year.
Have you ever considered growing some native plants that are even more nutritious like stinging nettle
Good information 😊!
growing your own food means you know really what you are eating.
Thanks Brian ❤!
Loved MOST of the list, Brian. My only reluctance is kale. To me, it tastes like I'm eating the scrapings from under my lawnmower. But that's just me. Another surprise was quinoa. Only had it a couple of times and never thought of it as a 'survival' food. Good info.
Also, off topic, I posted some ideas on your last homestead post on preparedness. One thing I forgot to mention, on the comfort part, is light. Having light when it's dark can relieve a lot of stress. Cheap idea, solar yard lights. You can get them at wally-world for under $1. If power goes out, pluck them from your yard and bring them indoors. Put them back in the morning and let the sun recharge them. Not great but better than pitch black.
Those that are not aware around them are the ones that gonna learn the hard way.
Just an aside re: Sweet Potatoes. The inhabitants of Uganda use sweet potatoes as THE staple of their diet. A physician from the UK went down and became what was, in essence, their surgeon gnereal. He stated that in his entire time there, he DID NOT ENCOUNTER ONE CASE OF COLON CANCER, and attributed it to the diet.
Excellent information. I'm brand new to your channel and grateful you mentioned the reality of what is happening in our nation. I've never grown sweet potatoes, but might try that this year. I started my indoor seeds with your cup hack this weekend. =)
I don't care, nor give two hoots what the government tries to tell us we "can't grow". If it'll feed my family healthy, I'm gonna grow it. they can go "john kerry and bill gates" themselves!
Hi growmies I’m in west Texas , I tilled ten rows 2ft wide ,drip tape on each one . Any advice nothing really piped up and the transplants where a huge fail .
This is so helpful for planning my small garden, on which I already depend to save money and be well. Thank you!
I'm gonna go with Vertical planting this year! My question is WHAT ZONE are you speaking from? I'm in zone 5.5
Excellent info! Saving to watch again later!
1:31 Victory gardens saved a lot of people.
