Thanks, though such videos that are used to teach what is easily read are a poor substitute for the latter. But to know how to change the water pump on an old Toyota...

I get it now.

Okra
Summer squash or any squash
Green beans
Purple hull or black eye peas
Potatoes
Tomatoes
Peppers
Melon for variety and cover

Fall gardens dont do well hete because it is so dry and hot when it is time to plant them

Sweet potatoes take a long time to grow

When I had a vegetable garden, I always raised regular tomatoes. But one year there was a bush of cherry tomatoes there. And the biggest, best ones I’ve ever had. AND I DIDN”T plant it. An animal took a seed from the compost pile???

My list:

Potatoes
Tomatoes
Carrots
Peas
Parsley
Sunflowers
Sesame
Winter squash
Corn
Sweet Potatoes
Beans
Cow-peas
Chickpeas
Basil
Oregano
Garlic
Melons
Beets
Berries
Grains

You could survive on the first 7 on this list, plus milk, eggs, and meat. But the rest make it more enjoyable. Feel free to substitute anything you like.

Anybody doesn’t put Jerusalem artichokes on a list of top survival crops is an idiot. It’s a hi-cal food source that’s almost impossible to kill.

No corn on the list but he’s got carrots and peas. Carrots, corn and peas have been “companion crops” for thousands of years.
