” Lets see if the gardeners are interested. “

This (admittedly amateur) gardener is doing ‘prepper gardening’ this year - expanded my garden plot to double last year, and putting in mostly root crops, ie. potatoes, turnips, beets, onions, etc.... Lots of high nutritive value, and easily storable, food for the winter.... ;)

I added 15 more fruit trees so far this year, 10 from wallyworld that were only $9 each. We had to replace 3 of our pear trees, one died of old age and DH ran over the other 2 with the bush hog. I’m devoting one raised bed to asparagus and sweet potatoes that are easy to store through the winter and lots of butternut squash. I’m building a greenhouse (Lord help me) that is half underground. I’m looking to rework our pond that is currently a large mud hole and drill a new well closer to our home even though we have a lined 36” well, it is farther than we would want to tote water. I also plan to add several blueberry bushes. And if we can manage it we want to get one of those large shipping crates and install it underground for a combination root/wine cellar.
