An alarming number of people have a false sense of security from a "seed bank" sitting in their closet, even though they've never grown so much as a
tomato plant. This, however, is their plan to ride out the apocalypse. Not only do you need the experience to raise your own food, but there are some years that your garden just won't grow.
As with any preparedness scenario, thinking through it ahead of time can help us maneuver through the situation more easily if it happens in the midst of a crisis. Have you ever had a similar bad gardening year? What are some of the causes I may not have covered? Pests? Weather? An act of nature? Were you able to overcome it, and if so, how did you do it?
