I'm going to start a few seeds today. This year I'm going to slim down a little. I'll probably grow potatoes, corn, peanuts, watermelon, squash, okra, carrots, sweet potatoes, peas, beans, tomatoes, and peppers. I have a pretty good compost pile now. It should be a good year.
I guess I'm just virtue signaling, but you never know. Some extra food might come in handy this year.
Increasing your self sufficiency is never virtue signaling.
As a reminder, our benevolent rulers don't want us to buy seeds and gardening supplies
