Preppers Garden

For millions of years, humans were nomadic, surviving as hunters and gatherers. Once we learned to domesticate animals and plant gardens, we could settle down, stay longer in one area and sustain larger populations. Our ability to raise livestock and garden are essential to our survival today no matter how good you are at Wilderness Survival.

So how do you plant the ideal Prepper Garden?  Here are some thoughts on what it would include.
  1. First and foremost is ample land with good rich soil.  Long growing seasons with lots of sunshine and rainfall are all important, but also a creek for potential irrigation (and a good back up water supply).  In the Prepper Handbook on Amazon, it calculates that seven (7) acres per person is required for sustainable food supply which includes growing grains and pasture for livestock. 
  2. Nutrition, including protein as meat may be scarce.  To me this also means diet diversity. Greens are easy during the warmer weather, but winter time means things like cabbage, kale, turnips, broccoli.... what else? But you can eat only so much greens.
  3. Year-round food supply - must have crops available at all times of year, or that can be easily preserved like dried beans & corn.  Wheat, rice & oats also preserve well but are much more difficult to harvest.  Sorghum is good to eat and can be used to feed chickens. A huge help to have a small greenhouse or cold frame planter. See our blog on building a greenhouse
  4. Continuous long term producing foods where available. Most modern vegetables are a climax variety, meaning the entire crop ripens at the same time, and then it is gone. These are designed to be harvested all at once and preserved, which takes time, resources and energy.  An ever-bearing type, that theoretically produces a food serving for a family of four every other day of the year would be ideal.  Imagine going out to your garden each day and harvesting what you will be eating for the day.  Fruit trees, blue and black berries near the fence line reproduce each year without replanting. Citrus trees or vegetables producing in a greenhouse year-round is good.  Strawberries given some room and manure will do well year after year.
  5. Preservable foods that can be dried are good, like beans, peas and corn or those that store for long periods like nuts, potatoes and onions. Others that can be canned are good, but imagine how many canning jars would be required to store a winters worth of food for your family.  For two vegetables per day for 270 days or 9 months out of the year, you need at least 540 quart jars.
  6. Select heirloom varieties that are hardy and can produce usable seeds which are a top 10 barter item which also helps others. I would envision providing seeds and tools to neighbors for a share of their crop.
  7. A supply of organic fertilizer is essential for long term gardening. The American Indians would include a fish head with each corn seed when they planted it. A more modern source would be composting, manure from horses, cows, goats and chickens.  The Prepper Handbook also talks about the importance of rotating your crops. 
  8. Gardening tools and books are important too.  Essential tools include good quality shovels, garden rakes, hoes, an old fashion push mower (that doesn't require gasoline), a High Wheel CultivatorLehmans has some good tools to consider.  Wood handles are recommended as they can be replaced.
  9. When it comes to books, they need to be bound books, not electronic books. Some good ones to consider might include the followin:  MiniFarming, The Encyclopedia of Country Living, and The Backyard Homestead Guide to Raising Farm Animals. Remember you must have manure for fertilizer.  Again, Lehmans has some good books and many other things too.
  10. Last but not least, start a garden NOW. Successful gardening takes years to learn so don't wait until it is too late.  Start small and grow it larger each year. Even if it is small, a few potted plants on the patio or in the condo flower beds, get started.  Try to grow a few winter crops each year too.  They are easier in that you don't have to contend with the summer heat, drought, weeds & pests as much. Broccoli, cabbage & cauliflower do well but require a lot of space which is okay if you are not growing a lot of other things.
These are my thoughts, what are yours?

Seeds for Survival

Seeds could be one of the best Prepper barter investments because they are low cost, but extremely high value in a total collapse. A $1.99 package of seeds could help feed a family for weeks. So this is something you should never be short on for your own Prepper Garden.

Heirloom varieties, that produce quickly, and grow nutritious foods that can be easily preserved (dried) are the best Prepper seeds.  Having hybrid seeds to use in the early stages is okay as long as they don't cross pollinate with the heirloom varieties and mess up your seed stock.

Foods that store for long periods like beans, peas, sorghum and corn dry and preserve well so I consider these as essential. Rice, wheat and oats are good, but harder to grow and harvest.  Potatoes also preserve fairly well when kept in burlap type bag in a cool dark place.  Citrus fruits will last much longer than most other fruits if left on the tree (not picked).  Nuts like pecans will store for long periods if kept in a cool dry place.

Fast producing seeds like turnips are edible in about 20 days even in cool weather.  Plus turnip seeds are low cost. As a part of my charity plan, covered in the Prepper Handbook, I have a lot of them and at the first sign of anarchy, I will plant them all around the church by the highway to help others have food. 

Foods that grow back year after year with out re-planting are good. Asparagus returns each year, is very hardy, nutritious, delicious and insect resistant.  If I could only have one vegetable, this would be the one; just remember to cut it down to 2" above the ground in the fall when the foliage turns brown and only harvest about half of what grows up, leaving some to reproduce.  Do not harvest the first year.  Fruit and nut trees are some other good examples and nuts store very well. Nut trees take many years to produce so plant them soon and locate some wild ones in the woods and remove any vines or other plants that may be choking them or competing for the nutrients and sunlight. 

Seasonal plants are important too.  You want some foods that plant in the later winter or early spring and ripen quickly (like turnips), but also some that ripen late in the fall or winter like pumpkins and persimmons.  Having a green house for year-round food could be a huge advantage.

While any food is better than starving, it is also good to select seeds that produce foods that you like to eat and would eat on a normal basis. This is good criteria to consider, but secondary to the others.  For example, most of the tender sweet hybrid corn that we enjoy cannot be used for seed as they will not grow or produce much corn if any. During the summer growing season, you can be eating fresh vegetables while you store most of the others for the winter.  Canning is a good way to store vegetables, but requires hundreds of jars and lids.  Drying is a more sustainable way but only works well for some foods. 

Part of a good Seed for Survival plan needs to include rotation.  Seeds get old and won't grow after a few years.  Keeping them refrigerated helps, but what I do is to write the date on them when they arrive.  Then everything more than two years old, I try to plant even if it is in a hidden garden in the country side, along the road or creek or in a meadow, by a lake. I even throw a few in the creek to wash down stream, to hopefully take root and grow.

Here is a list of seeds/foods that I prefer:
  1. Yellow Dent Corn (feed and meal)
  2. Yellow Bantam Corn
  3. Sorghum (chicken feed & good meal)
  4. Pinto Beans
  5. Black Eyed Peas
  6. Purple Hull Peas
  7. Cream Peas
  8. Blue Lake Green Beans
  9. Kentucky Wonder Green Beans
  10. Yellow Crook Neck Squash
  11. Beef Steak Tomatoes
  12. Mary Washington Asparagus
  13. Jersey Giant Asparagus
  14. Kale
  15. Broccoli
  16. Clemson Spineless Okra
  17. Red Potatoes
  18. Irish Potatoes
  19. Onions - Yellow Sweet Spanish
  20. Bell Peppers - California Wonders
  21. Cayenne Peppers
  22. Small Sugar Pumpkins
  23. Danvers Carrots
  24. Turnip - Purple Top White Globe
  25. Wheat (winter & summer varieties)
  26. Oats
  27. Rice
It is important that you know the Planting Dates for your area and Days to Harvest for the varieties of vegetables that you are planing as this is a key part of a sustainable food plan. The Prepper Handbook (at $4.99) has a sustainable food model that will help guide you. In the end, it is better to over produce and have extra for barter than to under produce and starve.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION SOLUTION

Obviously the solution is not to ignore US Immigration Laws and let anyone come and go at will.  We must control our boarders to prevent Terrorist from entering freely. 

At the same time, it is equally obvious that deporting all illegal immigrants is not a solution.  In fact, if all illegal immigrants immediately left the US, we would see a significant recession as a worker shortage brought our country to its knees.  Lets face it, lazy Americans are not going to do the hard jobs that are often performed by immigrants like picking crops; at least not until it pays more or living on welfare is not an option.

So can we all agree the solution is somewhere in the middle?

When it comes down to it, only the Indians as they are often called, are Native Americans. In fact, we are all immigrant descendants.  So where do we start solving this problem?

We must first start by stopping the flow of more illegal immigrants.

Once this is solved, then, and only then, we address the illegal immigrants already here.


A wall is expensive and may not work, but requiring the use of E Verify for all new hires (not existing ones) and implementing employer fines of $50,000 for each illegal immigrant hired & enforcing it will significantly reduce the flow of illegal immigrants coming in to the US. 

Illegal immigrants already working in the US, paying income taxes for the past 2-5 years, not on any form of welfare and no criminal background, will receive a multi-year green card (not citizenship) and are temporarily exempt from deportation along with their immediate law abiding families.  They will be allowed to apply for citizenship like any other immigrant but receive no special consideration just because they broke our laws.

Will there be some sob stories on the news and protests? Yes, the solutions to difficult problems are not easy or they would have been fixed already.  Every illegal immigrant who violently protests or commits a felony, should be immediately deported and never eligible to legally return under any circumstances.  Peaceful protests are 100% acceptable!

Over time, those that are a burden to our country will go home because they won't be able to get jobs or welfare....others will stop coming.... problem solved.  Those that remain will be hard working, tax paying, law abiding American citizens; something our country needs more of.

Edible Wild Plants - Dandelion

Dandelion is one of the most recognizable edible wild plants and can be found in sunny yards all over the United States during the spring and warm months.

The leaves, roots, and white stems are edible.  It is rich in vitamins A, B, Thiamine, riboflavin as well as minerals and protein.

Young leaves are good in salad or double boiled while the roots are roasted for making good tasting coffee (without caffeine) or boiled for about thirty minutes before eating.  Experts say the white stem just above the root is the best part when sauteed in bacon drippings or olive oil.

The taste is a bit bitter unless boiled, drained and then boiled again but this also reduces the nutritional value. This is one of those plants that is "edible", but not necessarily delicious.

Edible Wild Plants - Cattails

Known as the supermarket of the wild, Cattails, also known as bullrush, are a good source of food for the savvy outdoors-person.  The tubers, fresh shoots, the male portion of the flower and the pollen are all edible.

Winter tuber starch granules are removed by hand from fibers while the fresh spring shoots are cut from the tubers.  Older stems can be peeled back to get soft, white edible pith.  The male hotdog shaped part can be steamed before it becomes fluffy and the pollen from a male section can be shaken into a bag and used as a high protein flour. The nutritious tubers are high in calcium, carbohydrates, iron and potassium.

The fluff is good for fire tinder, bedding and insulation, leaves and stems can be woven into baskets and thatch huts.  Burning the fluff or solid seed head makes smoke that helps repel insects.

Edible Wild Plants - Greenbriar Roots


Greenbriar, are a common plant found in shady forest year-round and are identified by having both thorns and tendrils. They are also know as Catbriar or Bullbriar.

The edible parts are the young tender vines, tendrils, roots (tubers), leaves, and even berries in January.   The vines and tendrils are eaten raw, baked, boiled, roasted or steamed.  The roots are sliced, then pounded roasted or boiled to free starch.  The berries are eaten raw (not the seeds) and can also be made into jams or jelly.  Black berry jam is better, but they are not available in January.

The tubers are high in starch and minerals while the greens are high in vitamins and minerals.  The youngest, lightest colored tubers are the best.

Greenbriar are usually plentiful through out most of the United States except around the Rocky Mountain range.

Salvaging Supplies

Salvaging Supplies in a serious "event" may be essential to survival, yet this is not something we hear much about.  Even if you have supplies, replenishing them will extend the time window that you can survive. You need at least enough supplies to get a big or bigger garden planted and the harvest started.

There are several factors to consider:
  1. The law - is the situation bad enough to justify breaking the law? The answer to this determines our strategy.  If the local law is functioning or outside assistance is expected to arrive, then it is important to obey they law if at all possible.
  2. Risk - how desperate is our situation; this determines how much risk we are willing to take.  Don't underestimate the potential risk in salvaging supplies that are coveted by many people, possibly even desperate, violent ones.  House to house salvaging may be extremely hazardous in free countries where guns are permitted. Protecting your supplies will also require a gun, ammo and a good security plan to prevent loosing them.
Your best approach is to have a Salvage Plan that includes a map of all nearby locations that may have food.  If law and order exists, then that limits you to grocery and convenience stores provided you have cash. If you don't, go back and read our Beginner Prepper List section in the Blog Table of Contents.

IF law and order is gone, and finding food is a mater of life and death, then you should find sources of supplies other than the obvious grocery stores which may be crowded, looted or guarded by gangs.

First print or obtain a local map and regional paper phone books.  Remember Google Maps may not be working so phone books will be valuable. Then start to look for and mark the following on your map:
  1. Wal Mart & Grocery Stores or even better - Delivery Trucks
  2. Truck Stops
  3. Fuel Trucks
  4. Food distribution centers
  5. Gas Stations
  6. Schools
  7. Restaurants
  8. Restaurant supply businesses
  9. Drug Stores
  10. Bottled Water or soft drink distributors
  11. Businesses with large staffs, break rooms or cafeterias
  12. Gun Shops
  13. National Guard Armory
  14. Police Departments
  15. Sporting Goods Stores
  16. Hardware or Farm supply stores 
  17. Day cares for baby formula
Map these and develop supply run routes around your retreat.  There are two basic salvage route approaches:
  • Loop Routes that are shaped like flower petals that go out along certain routes and return via other random parallel routes.  The goal is to salvage triangular shape segments that extend out from your area as opposed to cleaning out everything immediately around your facility.  At the same time, you are exploring far out from your territory.  This route may be best with low populations, limited information, and when risk or threats are considered low.
  • Concentric Ring Routes consisting of circles of increasing diameter.  With these, you first deplete all the supplies that are close to your retreat.  After which you must start going out further and further as supplies are exhausted.  This allows you to learn your immediate area very well and progressively explore out further and further as the rings grow.  This approach might be best for high risk scenarios where you don't want to get too far from home.
The best approach is potentially a couple of small concentric rings to explore your immediate area and then transition to the petal or triangle shaped routes. 
Your Scout / Salvage Teams (never solo) should practice Group Drills that allow them to work together.  The best shape is an expanded diamond (a four person team),  with the person in back staying behind as if secretly tracking the other team members so that if they get captured, the back up person can retreat and get reinforcements, or follow them to their destination to be able to lead a rescue effort.  A bounding over watch formation is best when it is known that the risk is high such as moving in to perform a rescue operation. If you are in the city you should have an Urban Security Plan and in the country, a Passive Layered Security Plan.

If it becomes necessary to Salvage to survive, the situation is serious, and you need to be looking for garden seeds and tools.

Vegetable Days to Harvest

Too often, we might think we are well prepared, but we are not.  A key part of being prepared is having a sustainable food plan like covered in the Prepper Handbook on Amazon Kindle.  In addition to knowing the Planting Dates, we need to know how long we will have to wait before our garden starts providing us with food.

Building your food stores the right way starts with enough canned and dried foods to last 12 months which allows time to plant our garden, harvest, prepare and preserve food for the winter.

Planting some foods that harvest early could be the difference between surviving and starving after a hard winter.  Here are the Days to Harvest for a long list of foods you should consider. The ones listed in red are Heirloom varieties that you can save seeds from and grow them again next year.  Seeds from hybrid varieties often will not reproduce.   Having both may be a good idea, but they must be planted far apart to prevent cross pollination as Bees will carry pollen great distances.  Of course, having a Green House for year-round food and/or Aquaponics represents an advanced level of preparation that most do not have and a much more reliable plan.
