I’d say corn but the local raccoons always beat me to the harvest!
1. Beans or peas
2. Potatoes
3. Tomatoes- huge yields, nutritious and sweet
Okra, cucumber , runner beans
None of yours require refrigeration. So wood u put all that in the underground seller that had the canned preserves? Did u clean that out? If u did that seems like the best place, if u could give me a response? That would be Awsome❤️💕💕💕💕💕💕👍❤️💕❤️💕💕💕
Anyone else notice what looked like a big roach climb down over his face & chest @ 3:02 !! 😳😱
Sweet potatoes are the best calorie crop. They are easy and can make 2/3s of your diet no problem. Folks who live over 100 usual have sweet potatoes in their die. Look into blue zones. You do have to cure them though.
Why limit it to three? Corn and beans are compatible with squash( the Three Sisters), onions(leaks, shallots), purple cabbage/Brussel Sprouts and carrots are simply a must for proper nutrition if you want to re-mineralize and get rid of the heavy metals and toxic chemicals that build up in nearly everyone’s body. They can all be grown in a space just a little larger. I love tomatoes and potatoes too, but they are not absolutely necessary.
Make liquor with potatos
1. Tomatoes
2. Potatoes
3. Onions
I can make so many things for my family with those 3 ingredients. They are easy to store , can or freeze for future use. Those are our favorites and what I know I can grow . If I could choose one more it would be Peppers, specifically bell peppers. We love them.
1. Swiss Chard
2. Potato
3. Cannabis
Kale, beans, potatoes( any variety) and Asparagus.
only three i think I would pick beans, squash, sweet potatoes
Love where you live, looks so peaceful!
1) Pumpkins and squash 2) Beans; Pinto Black and Lentils 3) potatoes because they keep a long time 4) and cuz I’m Mexican Corn 5) sunflowers for oil 6) sugar cane for sugar. Just add chickens and goats and there you go you can just hunker down without worrying about food.
Beans/green beans — For nitrogen fixing in the soil and protein and vitamins. Growing beans can give you both green beans and regular beans.
Potatoes — For a staple starch with a long history of being a long term food. It also acts as a subsurface crop that is not obvious to marauders.
Sunflowers — Haven’t you seen the series "Alone"? You want FAT. Veggies are usually nutrient dense but calorie poor. Sunflowers offer a source of fat and nutrition (especially vitamin E).
Beans a nd q
This is a how to survive video, I too was torn about the potato choice given the carbs, but I would make the same choice.
Potatoes (for fries), Chicken and my third crop would be Beer.
I’m growing tubers, e.g. cassava, wild winged yams, and sweet potatoes. Even if sweet potatoes don’t produce a tuber, they’re in the morning glory family and produce a beautiful flower. You can also eat the leaves in a salad; very hearty. Nopales cactus are also very filling and easy to grow. Moringa is easy to grow and it’s a super food to help supplement whatever is missing from one’s diet.
okra potatoes kale
I’d grow oats (it’s a low Glycaemic Index food, suitable for diabetics), silverbeet (chard), easily grown in New Zealand, and butternut. I have chickens too which provide cackle berries.
Potatoes became more popular in Europe after a man publicized that he survived on nothing but potatoes for about 3 years.
Sounds like a good one.
You need a fat source like peanuts a d sunflower. Without fat you’re gonna be suckin hind tit. If.you don’t heat the seed oil then it won’t poison you like shelf stable sunflower oil
I remember reading once that if there ever was an apocalyptic event, the two food sources that will give you all the necessary calories and nutrients to survive are potatoes and milk
Beans,potatoes, cabbage.
Grow hemp, make toilet paper, become the richest man
in the world.
Potatoes, carrots, and onions. Top three, then beans and squash.
Now that this is a real scenario I’d say lentils sweet potatoes and squash
Your choice of butternuts and potatoes will store for months to carry through the winter. Bean are just good!
For me its Sweet Potatoes, Okra, Carrots
Anyone else see that roach run across the screen?
I think an underground vegetable with minimal leaves in case of a problems with the air or water supply. Don’t want huge leaves that trap pollutants
I would swap out squash for tomatoes! Yummy, preservable, goes with everything and chockas with vitamins.
🙏😊🌻🦋
They entire sunflower is edible. Seeds and leaves for eating. Pith can be dried pulverized and used as a flour substitute. Flower petals for tea. Outer stalk for kindling. So many uses!
You can make oil out of the sunflower seeds too. Love that
Potatoes, tomatoes, bush red beans. Potatoes will store for a year when done properly. Tomatoes can be dried in the sun with minimal effort. I can get two crops of red beans each year, and I cook the leaves like spinach. The beans can be eaten like green beans or dried for protein.
Okra here in the south grows fast, hard to keep it picked, can be dehydrated and canned. Beans, i fully agree and my third would be turnips, like potatoes they store well and you can harvest and eat the greens and keep the tuber in the ground. I’m thinking we need think and eat like our great grandparents did.
Potatoes…tomatoes…beans. Tomatoes (sauce…paste..salsa…soup…juice…ketcup…dried tomatoes…fried green…tomato sandwiches! )
Tomato,okra,squash
Opium poppies
I would also pick beans, butternut squash and potatoes.
Thanks because I did a backyard deal and the small amounts of green beans I grew got me to never grow again. Now I know I just did it wrong
I’m with you on Potatoes. I can eat them all day everyday!
My pick would be beans, potatoes and tomatoes
Onions, garlic, and potatoes. Onions and garlic because of the health benefits. Potatoes because of the ease.
I have natural small onions that grow in my yard without me ever planting them
I would probably go along with it the butternut squash. I’ve grown acorn squash and you pretty much plant seeds and wait for the vines to die and pick them. But what about tomatoes?
Sweet potatoes will give you delicious greens early on and tubers at maturity. 2 for 1 special
I learned to sprout and grow hydroponically so everything EASY. I thought it best I learn solar electronics to power artificial sunlight. Thank you for your contribution Sir, some people are thinking for themselves. Everything I buy has to serve TWO purposes, one being survival. I grow what I eat but most produce several harvest. Broccoli and sweet potato leaves are edible so I’d choose them. Things you can eat as a young plants and continually harvest.
Trader Joes has a new chili that is spiked with sunflower protein, so you can add to your beans. Also, butternut squash seeds are edible when roasted. I read an article in a magazine from 1949 about a guy who had some pasture land that was no good for cows, but could support goats. He tells a story about how within a few years, he had more goat milk than he new what to do with, as the goats kept breeding. In Proverbs 27:27 it says, "And thou shalt have goats’ milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens." For tree crops, a productive pecan tree can provide a huge amount of nuts, and they last a long time in the shells.
