Gardening to Supplement our Storage

If the snow will ever go away we can start our gardens. We can grow alot in a small garden. The biggest reason to have a garden is to get fresh produce which can save our lives.  All fruit & vegetables have Vitamin C in them.  We need this to not get scurvy which is a deadly disease.  The sailors of long ago would die of scurvy because they didn't understand that they needed Vitamin C.   It only took 3 months of no Vitamin C. If we have a garden we can eat out of it for at least 6 months of the year.  You don't have to dehydrate, freeze, bottle, steam, cook or anything.  Just eat! Of  course if you have more than you can eat the rest can be stored for future use.

To have a garden you need soil, sun, water and seeds.  That's all.   We can plant your cold weather crops now.  These are peas, carrots, brocolli, onions, lettuce, chard, kale, and radish.
After May 10th you can plant your warm crops like tomatoes, peppers, melons, squash, beans, cucumbers, etc.
