Food Prices Are Rising, Supply Chains Suffer – Growing As Much Of Our Own As I Can!

Walmart has blueberry plants for just $6.88 right now! đŸ‡đŸŒ± If you’ve been thinking about growing your own food, now’s the time to start. Blueberries are easy to grow, come back every year, and provide delicious, healthy fruit for your family. We planted 6 mature plants two years ago and looking to increase that by 8-12 this Spring. Additionally looking to add additional raspberries and blackberries.

Oh – seed potatoes are available now. Check your local farmer’s exchange for best pricing.

Being prepared isn’t just about storing food—it’s about growing it too! Grab a few plants and seeds while they’re cheap and start building your food security.

Do you garden?

Take care all –

    Hmmm. I wonder if I could sneak up to Maine sometime around July…? lol. Actually, I have free access to blueberries just a few miles away, but I have to climb a steep hill to reach them.
    My garden has been an abject failure, and while I haven’t completely given up on it I do want to try more container gardening this year. I have 2 lovely porches that get a good bit of sunshine, and I want to see if I can get anything to grow in spite of my black thumb.
    Does anyone have experience with Chinese cabbage or kohlrabi? I tried both of them, and while I got fantastic leaves they never developed any heads.

    At 73 years old I have been gardening for a long time. I can offer a few suggestions. Mostly, instead of planting ornamental trees and shrubs, plant fruit, berry, and nut producing plants. Why not have your property looking good AND producing healty food?
    And for you ‘black thumbs’, try making up raised bed gardens at least 8 inches deep and fill them with 100% mushroom compost. No dirt or top soil! And forget bagged garden soil from Lowes. You will be amazed at your results. Personally, I have had little success with vegetable container gardening unless planting in huge containers and even then I’m not convinced. I like raised beds.

    I’ve been saying that gardening is far more effective in being self reliant than storing up the commercially available long shelf life foods. I bought those buckets too long ago and came to realize that I never need them since here in SW Florida my gardens produce more than I can eat all year long year after year. I must say that my soil did get poisoned from the storm surge from Hurricane Ian on Sept 28th 2022 and some crops still won’t grow or grow well. This is the first year since that I’ve been able to grow broccoli which has always been a super performer for me but this time the heads are really small.
    It will take many years to get all the salt leached away but there are other crops that seem to love it. Mustard greens, Ethiopian kale, New Zealand spinach, Moringa, and Everglades tomatoes are thriving.
    Keep on growing folks!
