What to GROW in your GARDEN so you can EAT YEAR-ROUND
Video Overview & Insights
High food prices. High fuel prices. Food shortages. There's only one way to overcome it. Grow it yourself! What you grow has to last all winter though...
Hi Michele and Cody. Did you know that carrot tops are great tasting for in stews and you can freeze in freezer bags for months. I have a finicky family and they love seeing the carrot tops in my stews. P.S. Don't use thick stems as they don't taste too good. ♥

In a couple of your videos you and your wife said you don’t like snakes. Try lightly sprinkling sulfur powder around your raised beds, in ground beds, home and anything you don’t want smokes in. Once a year usually does the trick. Sulfur burns the snakes skin so when they smell it the turn tail and slither on. I get mine at the local co-op. Maybe your local feed and seed will have it. Ask an old timer and they will tell you. It doesn’t smell after first rain

What about you but in the South we eat greens year round and you can even make a stew with them as well.. with the butternut squash or squash you just have to watch for squash boars they're very quick to kill and it can be stored in the freezer.. and the survivor food you guys are listeing are very good ideas , with the butternut squash or yellow squash you just have to watch for squash boars they're very quick to kill squash plants I had to fight through these many a times last year.. That's the only frustrated thing about squash but very healthy dish And also a good idea to grow for long storage purposes

I grew carrots once 25 years ago. Great success.
Question: can you take the carrots that youve thinned out and replant them.

@2:57 Many people forget this bit of info. Be realistic.
@ElizabethMakua-h4vHow offen do you replace your strawberries
@angelapeterson5200Maybe winter leech too?
@reneburger4317When ever this genetically modified your food is poisonous. We need to have community gardens
@INFJ2I find greens are an absolute in the survival garden list. Many greens from the Orient grow well through the winter when nothing else will and I have come to rely on them. I do not eat my greens from the summer garden in the winter time.... Greens are actually the only thing we can eat fresh all year long even in zone 6-7
@BotanicalBuzzardHow do you keep the deer out of your garden?
@StoicJasonI stared to grow my garden at home glad for the extra tips
@BigbigsjGomezCorn and beans.
You can grow them together if you dont have room. They can dry and be kept for a very long time.. And together they make a complete protein. So fully a survival crop.
Just take it from the native Americans. They grew the 3 sisters crops for a long time.
They would grow squash at the base of the corn plants. Corn as a stalk. And then grow beans that would grow up the corn stalks as support. All 3 last a long time and through the winter. All 3 real survival foods
Good video, but what about kale? As I'm sure you know its a hardy dark leafy green that will grow in winter and full of nutrients
@Jake-l8l5fCan you do a new updated one and what you’re growing fall?
@OurLadyFarmsWhat about cabbage?
@KeenanRobinson-q7iOne our best easy to grow, long term store crop was acorn squash.
@carllelendt5452out of curiosity, who does your video recording and editing?
@cj-bi7hzThx for the video. Thumbs up. I tried zucchini https://youtube.com/shorts/IdtHNv_t5-E?si=iCrvewL1-Egzf3aW
@vftmlt1I use carrots tops as well. They are very nutritious. They make the best pesto or in smoothies
@alfredawoods9949You may have this, if not search in You Tube: These seeds still exist. "25 Forgotten Vegetables That Grandparents Grew to Survive the Great Depression!" Radishes that are the size of a pumpkin and has more protein than a steak. Acherry that's so sweet kids ate them as candy and can be used as a sugar substitute in the kitchen.
@gardenerpete5232I live in an environment with bears, how can I keep them away from food grown especially berries
@aishataviatorWait how do you store vegetables if you dont can them
@seanfox934Last year I had missed a few zucchini that had gotten to the monster stage and they stored almost all winter. Eventually turned orange but I gave them to the chickens after that because I'd never heard anyone talk about storing zucchini or that they were fine after turning orange. I presume they'd be okay but didn't want to chance 'em.
@lesliekendall5668GARLIC MAKES EVERYTHING TASTE GREAT!!
@jodiegoodban95How much does an acer cost, amount need to spend for raising the crop for things like seeds, labor, pesticides...etc if any other maintenance things are there that also please and how much we can make by selling the crop from that one acer. Just want to know how the financials work per acer.
@flash.legend3781Bom dia pra vcs todos aí fica com Deus tô gostando de assistir seus vídeos esse segundo vídeo.
@sorayaolegario4554I don't think that I saw you had any concord grapevines, jelly and grape juice. Also if you have any problems with deer, plant daffodils around your apple trees. Also may I suggest planting shrubs that will draw polinators such as spirea, butterfly bushes, and hydrangea. This will be good attractors for bees to make honey. You may be able to get a start of these from friends or neighbors, if they know you're looking for them. Your family is going to have healthy meals this winter.
@judyanderson8782i have a very small space. looking for one bed to grow survival food
@JessicaSalasSthank you
@JessicaSalasSI want this life so bad
@DehydratedNurseSoak your corn in a tub of water with the husk on. Then put it on the grill for about 15 to 20 minutes. The corn will steam and be so tender and the husk and silks come off so easy. You can soak your corn anywhere from a hour to 4 or 5 hours. It will not hurt it to be in water for a long time. 😊
@icecreamfever123How do you keep the bugs off the strawberries?
@Cris_tal777Do you also sell some of your crops?
@dawnhopeableI just found your channel and have been binge watching for days. So much great information and lots of encouragement! One day our family hopes to have our own little homestead.
@Carolinasweetheart-MichelleThank you all for sharing this! Just an FYI, an antibiotic won't help with colds. Antibiotics only kill bacteria, not viruses. 😊
@krazygardenerI love my volcano carrots, they got huge and kept well into December. They were pelleted so i got to space them out 2”.
@YotacivWhere are you located? Not being creepy, just need to know if your information is suitable where I live
@notbarbie582About a survival food, try the Jerusalem artichoke, it has been one of the best foods to live on for years, and they are very healthy as stated: Jerusalem artichokes are rich in many vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, iron, and potassium. Boost gut health. They are also rich in an important fiber called inulin. Inulin is a prebiotic fiber that feeds your good gut bacteria and improves the balance of your gut microbiome.
@Culpepper-c5xI love greens, and I don't have room for frozen ones, so I did an experiment, I steam blanched them, and dehydrated them, piling the greens thickly on the trays. They dried fast and I peeled them off the trays and put them in mason jars. Completely crispy fry. They re delicious and can be eaten as is or added to anything.They are rather like nori, in appearance and texture. So healthy and delicious, even my Chihuahuas love them❤
@SimplylisetteYou guys are on to something. You make it look so easy and are so knowledgeable about farming. You take your time explaining the things that can go wrong. I know everything is delicious. Great job!
@carmelbronze9946Love what you do. I had a very bad bug year 3 summers ago so what I did the next year was transplanted some of my strong smelling herbs within the rows of veggies (lots of spring onions oregano and even some garlic oil spray. Worked like a charm. They were so confused.
@victorenecahill9013❤❤❤
@katariinakuusk3501You can sell raspberries I would buy lots from you if I was closer to you I'm in Texas
@tymanalexander8875😊😊😊😊😊😊😊Thank you very much for the information. Im glad I found your videos! 😊😊😊😊😊😊 I put smiley face when I can’t write something. 😊😊😊😊😊
@christinashurina1008I watch a lot of gardening shows, even though I have been gardening for 60 years, I can still learn something. But,, do you know that you can grow greens all year round? I’m in Portugal now, but in England I grew a large variety of greens outside all winter.
@tamardevane6635Where do you get your seeds and what would you do if they stop selling seeds?
@mitchdaoust2826Do you have a link to your squash soup recipe?
@dorcasbockelman2392Be careful eating sprouted potatoes. I have heard you can get really sick eating them. If anyone else knows anything about this I would like to hear what you've heard.
@dorcasbockelman2392Have you tried growing the lettuce and spinach on the north side of any building,or corn field?
@LloydFreeman-n9lSounds sound.
