Considering that Monsanto article I posted above, things are really looking scary.
If things got very bad people would have to hide their gardens as though they were pot.

That is why so many people are planting the wild gardens in the forests and any place they can tuck them in.
When I think of all the pot gardens they hide and grow for years, it makes me think that we should be smart enough to hide vegetable gardens too.
I have long thought that we would need to hide the goats and chickens as well.
People get all upset over the fighting cocks, but few know that if they are allowed to go wild, they will do just that go wild and roost in the trees.
In Wellton, a man told us he was leaving Wellton and to go and get his chickens.....
We later learned they were fighting cocks and maybe crossed with banties, but we got them out of the trees in the Gila River bottom, they did quite well on the bugs, etc that they found there.
Ducks on a pond? Goats in a woods at a spring?
Except here, the Gov. will shoot your goat, if it gets near where the Big Horn Sheep areas.
I talked to the Gov about it and was told that they did not have proof that goats give disease to the Big Horn Sheep, but just in case, death to the goats.
LOL, and of course the goats that I had would take off every day and head for the sheep area/spring.
An attached but out of site greenhouse would be a good idea.
Food is going to be important, even more important than many can imagine.
Your dishpan of spinach or chard, will mean a lot, if you are living on beans and rice.
Think of how much better beans and rice is with a few herbs.
