My garden is not huge, BTW, but the resources around us are good.<<<
That is a plus.
You may want to think about starting a fall and winter garden this year, as this food shortage is not going away.
In fact, as we stock up and grow more careful with our storage food, there will be more food bought, then if they had not talked of a shortage.
Nothing is grown in my area. Or for a hundred miles or more.
Planting a garden does not work as the wind keep all the mulch and compost blown away.
That is the reason that I had the greenhouses, a smallish solar onw attached to the house is a blessing for year around growth.
It is playing the hot and cold game here too.
Can't. Haven't found anything that will grow in the snow or frozen rock solid ground, yet.
We're stuck with our beautiful summers for a growing season and have to rely on the canner and pressure canner to get us through the winter.
However, even if electricity is ever an issue, stuff will stay frozen outdoors.
