I’ve had to up the opsec at my location. Many animals are getting stolen. A lot more drone activity across the fields. I can only assume they are related. My neighbor shot down two last week.
My cauliflower, spinach, garlic, and onion survived the February winter in Texas. I was surprised, but they like the cold. They tasted great when I harvested them.
good content sir!
Saving seeds or cuttings best bet to go learn sooner then later.
Step number one to surviving what’s coming, get OUT of the big cities now! You need to be on your own land, out in the country with your own chickens, goats, water supply, power supply and gardens. If you think you can store food under the bed and somehow eat while millions around you starve, it ain’t gonna happen.
Will be a good use for my LED lights now that MMJ can now be grown legally in my state.
Can you do a video on prepping with allergies? Specifically allergies to legumes (beans, soybeans, peanuts, peas etc) because it seems many preppers rely on beans heavily for protein in disaster scenarios.
How do we avoid bugs thue
When you’re experimenting with sprouts and you don’t like the flavor, simply sow/plant them. I wasn crazy about the taste of sunflower sprouts. Now I have sunflowers 😀. I had a hard time sprouting water cress, as the small seeds stuck to the perforated jar lid and I couldn’t rinse them. So I threw the seeds in a bucket with some soil, now I have watercress 😀.
Yo CP, great info as usual
I need more food growing indoors. Ty
I try this and every time the DEA says No.
Great video! I’m a new farmer growing indoors legal southern cannabis in Virginia, it is so satisfying and teaches many useful skills i’ve outdoor gardened before and am enjoying the synthetic sun more than I was expecting.
Great video. Wife started a little indoor shelf with LED full spectrum light from Home Depot- trying lettuce first.
I have seeds from 2012 that I still use. I keep them in an air tight metal can in individual bags stored in the refrigerator. They always pop within one to two days of getting them wet.
i grow indoors every winter 🙂 but its not food… i can adapt for food but currently smoke is more worth my hydro.
I started a garden in my 2 closets. I’m growing potatoes, squash, Brussels, spinach, lentils, tomatoes, pinto, navy and green beans. Never gardened before but I’m learning.
We like to grow greens, scallions, and herbs indoors year round, along with daily sprouting of mung beans, buckwheat, alfalfa, and more. This serves to add fresh vegetables to a diet using dried beans, chickpeas, lentils, quinoa, rices, millet, oatmeal, fish, and eggs to make basic meals and desserts. Millet makes a tasty faux cheesecake. I’m working on a batch of fermented chickpea milk to create chickpea yogurt. I’ve mastered several vegan cheeses to get ready for a dairy free life during an emergency. Aquafaba from a can of cooked chickpeas is an egg substitute for making mayo, in baking, and to bind lentil-sausage or veggie-bean burgers.
I’m thinking the cash crop, then having the capability to afford the rest of the supplies…who’s down with that?
I have seen some micro green set ups on shelving units with grow lights for each shelf. The metal ones with adjustable shelves work best to keep the lights close enough to the plants. You could buy 2 units for extra shelves to maximize your vertical grow space because you only need about a foot clearance for each shelf so your 6′ 5 shelf unit could be a 9 or 10 shelf unit.
I do a quick slice and put in the dirt with little soil on top method for my tomatoes and had a healthy 12 plants to harvest this year. Just put in a small soup dish and leave with watering with a hand water sprayer everyday. Once they start to grow wait around a month or so and transplant into a container and they will grow.

This is a great video! Thank you.
Sprouts and winter veggies are coming indoors this fall along with Meyers lemons. I have mylar sheets on the walls of the growing area and grow lights. I tried hydroponics last year without success but try, try again.
LOVE THE ENCOURAGING BIBLE SCRIPTURS,, SOOO CONDUSIVE,, FULL OF WISDOM REGARDING OUR TIMES
If you’re not growing ash crop,what you do ,is a well paid for understanding of what you are growing. No small crop is going to pay for indoor heating,lighting,and air movement. I grow weed,because I profit from what I spent,and can afford to grow indoor veggies at no cost. What you can’t eat,is a waste of time,if you can’t sell it. I love to grow,but I’m not a salesman except for that.
Last winter I got into sprouting broccoli seeds. For this winter I’ve already begun my first foray into carrot sprouts, green onions, and trying my hand at garlic, sweet potato and onion.
Good overview of possible options for winter. Def doable! Leafy greens can generally be picked as early as 30-45days ever faster if hydroponics. Micro veggies and dwarf varieties are good for limited space. In the winter depending on how much light ya get idk if a sill would be enough for some veg but worth a try😁🌻
YHANKYOU , I M EXCITED THAT I CAN GROEW SOME FOOD INSIDE,, AN APARTMENT WITHOUT GREAT EXPENSE
Any video that starts with a Bible quote gets a thumbs up from me
Seeds can be used hundreds of years even thousands later if stored well. Look at the ancient grains found in Egypt.
This was interesting. Have you tried the tilapia farming?
there are lots of online sites where you can buy meal-ready-to eat w/ a shelf-life of 5 years or more..
any recommendation which one?
I live in a small house so room is an issue . I used to have tropical fish & enjoyed them but over time they have died for 1 reason or another . I still have the 2 aquariums & got a bit disgusted with my self because it took me several yrs to realize I have 2 " mini green houses" sitting in my living room . I start seeds for spring planting & use them for growing lettuce , radishes , spinach, micro greens , etc. in the winter time . My grown kids thought I was nuts for using them this way but they finally came around & now 1 of them does it also . It doesn’t produce much but it is a good way to supplement what I have to eat. I have been saving seeds for many yrs & when I have to buy seeds I always buy heirloom seeds never hybrids or any that are gmos because they never come back true & produce very little . I also use med to lg wire dog crates because I try to bring in a couple pepper plants to over winter , start maybe 3 green bean plants & a couple other small veggies plants like that for some fresh veggies in the cold mos. The crates keep my 3 cats out of the pots & I can hand a small grow light on the top .
Very helpful. Thanks.
Hydroponic Lettuce. Going after it big time this year. Maybe toss in a fresh basil as well.
I grew lettuces, collards, kales, carrots, mustards, garlic and onions all winter long at 5280 ft under cover all winter last year. It was my first year gardening and I thought what have I got to lose by trying? This year I got a better jump on things by starting my fall/winter garden in 8" pots in july and transplanting out as soon as the beans, corn, squash and peppers were spent in late August/early September. If all goes well again this year it will be wonderful to have fresh vegetables from the garden anytime of year. I made a .5" pvc hoop house with painters plastic clipped on with heavy duty clips. That was it! Same thing this year!
Your going to have to grow a hell of a lot to really make a big difference. Every little bit helps though.
This seemed like more of a "what you can do" vid than the "how t" the title suggests. I gave it a like because I do enjoy your vids, but it wasn’t what I expected.
I’m currently in an apartment but was looking at doing hydroponics on a small scale when i get a home of my own
I’ve done Sprouts before so I’m planning to do some microgreens soon. We already have a grow light system with for big shelves we usually start veggies in the spring since it can be pretty cold here then
Apparently my plan was to starve to death this summer because my garden sucked.i think I will build a greenhouse and keep trying tho. I grew food that would not ripen, it went bad right on the vine. Softball size tomatos that cracked and never turned red…Bock bock
Where do you get the paper towel to dry your seeds?
One bedroom apartment in NJ here. Started my indoor garden last week. I have SW facing windows. Purchased 2 large rolling metro shelving units. Microgreens and sprouts have the most nutrients so i will master growing them. Herbs for changes in flavor and making teas. I am also researching medicinal plants. In addition to providing physical wellness my home will have a good vibe from the lush greenery. Sprouts dont require grow lights..yay!
Great video loved it and plan to go on window seal and see what happens
👍🏾
Very interesting video, however the recommendations are not always in favour of the low income viewers, is their anyway you can widen your recommendations that caters for each category of earners and financial threshold? It will help others, who may wish to take on board your knowledgeable information in the future.
I have a surplus of 275 gallon totes and plan to modify one to see if it can be used like a green house. I have rabbits so by adding their "under the cage" deposits, think some heat will be produced naturally. The top I plan to cut off so it can be replaced. Unless I put too much soil in, I should be able to move it around to take advantage of the sunlight.
Great video and very informative! It’s great seeing videos like yours prepping growers for the upcoming season.🌱
Appreciate the scripture!
