Hello! I am from the caribbean, and i can elaborate on sweet potatoes. I planted one in a corner of the garden, in clay soil, and did not care for it. Now i have two 2*2m patches, without any care, less than a year later. I planted them in hard dense clay soil, because i wanted to loosen the soil, and did not want to put any effort into it. Now rather than bare soil or anoying grass, i have those. They seem to produce forever if you have the climate for it; i have had some in pots for years, and don't provide them any care. About the other tropical roots you mentioned, i agree, yam and others are really good and can be stored for quite some time. Also, with all those, the good point is that if a hurricane hits, well they won't get killed by the wind or water, unlike your more stemmy plants!
Kudos to you....so many 18 min.+ vids are full of hot air and superfluous info, they're a chore and pain to listen to. You got right into it, and stayed on topic throughout. The time investment in listening actually went pretty quickly.
What about potato flour? I’m Irish and my grandma and great grandma used to mash plan potatoes dehydrate them til a powdered flour When it was hard to get flour this is what they made, and she made tons of stuff with the flour and tasted really good bread cakes muffins ext...
I dont mean to be offtopic but does any of you know a trick to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my password. I would love any help you can give me
@Ricky Anthony Thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Crops that surprised me this winter were: lentils, flax, broccoli, arugula and giant chinese cabbage. All those survived and grew where we had temps of -12°C here in South Africa. (yes, I live in the cold part that doesn't get snow) I might add: we haven't covered them at all, this was mostly for fun and experimentation.
@@lI1I1ll yes peeled and cut into about 1-2 inch pieces boiled like potatoes then strained but keep the liquid you will want some to make it more gravy like than paste...we added garlic to make a alfredo sauce on zucchini noodles
7:15 to 8:21 Sweet potatoes can be used also to produce sweet potato greens that are also edbile and nutrtious just like any leafy vegetable besides it's roots. The weird thing about sweet potatoes is that it is being used by certain hotels and parks as a cover crop!
For vitamins, there are tons of sources that can be foraged. Check out channels like Learn Your And and the Outsider. Many "weeds" are high in nutrients. You can get vitamin C from Gatlic Mustard, White Pine needle tea, grape leaves etc. There are antioxidant rich berries that can be preserved in honey or made into jam or dried to preserve them and their benefits. Mushrooms too.
Beans dont have to be threshed out right away. They store very well in their shell. Then shell out in the evening during the winters for soup or stews the next day.
the Jerusalem artichokes are meant to feed you at the very end of winter, or extremely early spring. The longer you leave them in the ground the inulin changes to a more digestible starch, producing much less gas. Mixed with the winter crops of turnip greens, they are very good.
If you've let the beans dry to the point that the pods are brittle, shelling them can be easy. Put the pods (or even the whole plant) into a pillowcase, hold the opening shut, and beat the pillowcase against the ground. This will thresh out the beans. You can massage the pillowcase on the ground to break up the bits of pod and stem even smaller. This lets you winnow away the trash bits or screen them out. Much faster than shelling the pods one by one in your hands.
That's not a bad idea. You would need a high protein grain as quail need higher protein with their daily laying. Could also raise various insects and worms with waste to supplement their diet.
When you are talking about nutrition and balance you might want to mention that using any 2 of corn/rice/beans creates a total protein equal to animal proteins. Not corn at breakfast and rice at lunch. Must be eaten at the same meal for your body to get the full benefit of the partial proteins and convert to complete protein.
As a kid, my dad would bring home sacks and baskets of beans/peas potatoes, etc. from the New Orleans French Market or roadside vendors. We had to shell or clean them. The only time I enjoyed him bringing home food in a sack was raw oysters. I "shucked" them and we fried them to make oysters "po-boy sandwiches ". What we didn't eat , we put them in the freezer. i miss those days.
Sunchokes can easily be ate if you start off slowly and work your way up. Start by frying potatoes and onions and add a couple. Slowly add more each time you cook some. The great thing is Sunchokes are awesome for diabetics
White oak acorns can be used as a grain for flour. Native Americans did and I have grown a grove of them for my grand children Sun chokes or Jerusalem Artichokes grow great here on our farm and we eat them regularly as a nice addition in the spring and fall. Never had the problems you seem to have had. But we used it as a slightly exotic side dish. They don't keep well so we just eat them when they are ready for harvest.
13:02 growing tons of food to feed a hungry pig every day for months or years is not a good survival strategy. The amount of calories it will provide is about 15 times less than what you have to feed it throughout it's life. Not to mention the amount of water the pig will consume each day. Far more than any human. And plants need water too (and land). So you're growing all these extra plants for the pig's food and using even more water for those plants on top of what it drinks.
According to Professor George Washignton Carver in the 1920s and 1930s. He said that by combining the peanut and the sweet potato together, one can get all of the sustenance to maintain sustain good health and sustain life indefinitely for both man and beast (men, women, children, pets, and other animals and mamalians for life with very few exceptions like cats, dogs, other natural carnivores).
I love the Cherokee tan pumpkins. That is the type I have in my yard. They are awesome and more personal sized. They also keep for a year easy even in the deep south.
As a kid, turnip bottoms were terrible, even when mixed with the tops. I would pick out the pieces of bottoms from my plate and just eat the tops with corn bread smothered with ketchup. My brother and I also would smother cabbage/cornbread with pieces of white potatoes with ketchup.
People who live on a few staple crops & not much else tend to be stunted & malnourished. Local hunter gatherers were much healthier than early farmers & that was why. Modern sugar & processed food are making people even sicker. Animals make sense on a farm, especially because they can be rotated with crops & their dung keeps the soil fertile.
a couple of decent perennial plants is the rhubarb and the regular artichoke. they come back every year.... the artichoke will peter out after about 5 yrs or so then you replant, but ..... its a yummy easy to grow bush. just mulch good in the winter.
rhubarb is great. My family has a rhubarb plant that has been around for over 50 years. I took a small amount of one and planted my own and year after year it gets HUGE with zero work. And we live up in Maine where the growing season kinda sucks :) Unless you like potatoes.
1. Bloody Butcher (dent corn) grows great in the American Northeast, at least as far North as New York State. 2. Rampicante grows great both as a zucchini & later as a winter squash. You get a crazy amount of squashes. It would make a great staple crop.
Thank you for this video. Some good info. Very glad that you mentioned beans even though they're not in the description. Apparently the Indians grew squash, beans and corn and that is supposed to give you a fairly complete protein. So keep that in mind as you plan your crops for the EOTWAWKI.
Love what you said about potatoes! Some people will not eat potatoes. Since I have a bit of Irish heritage..potatoes are my favorite vegetables. Like turnips and greens. Live in the south US so can grow lots of potatoes etc. Good video.☮️💜☀️😇
Good info. A few pointers would be to show photos of the items when you are discussing them, because differnt people call things by different names, and also perhaps links to where a person can purchase the items or variations you are discussing.
I never get temperature under -2 and that's very rare to get below 10 degrees. it's 5:15am and it's 20 degrees outside so what sort of fruit and veg can I grow? I hope I can grow grapes...
I'm experimenting with blue corn or hopi corn..having silos for storage or caning.. .making hard cheese was used as winter food . Dehydrated food vacuum pack and freeze, yes it is work but you will have food! The Ant and the grasshopper parable..thank you for sharing other varieties, you were making me hungry lol I'm experimenting also with Moringa and Sorrel ! I do have poultry too! I also sometimes forage wild food though my family and friends usually don't participate we have different mints and burdock roots i really enjoy ! Have a good Thanksgiving and enjoy the harvest!
hey ,if anyone else is searching for survival foods at grocery store try Franaar Spies Control Formula (just google it ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my mate got excellent results with it.
Mushrooms are a better choice ...just need low temp and humidity..not even sunlight..can be grown in a room ...also with start producing in a month time..

cooking Jerusalem Artichoke in lemon juice get rid of the gas also here is a pickle recipe for them 1½ pounds Jerusalem artichokes, broken into nodes, thoroughly scrubbed, and cut into ½-inch dice 1 teaspoon ground dried turmeric 1 ounces garlic (about 8 cloves), chopped ½ ounce fresh ginger, minced (about 1 ½ tablespoons) 1 teaspoon cumin seeds 2 teaspoons pickling salt 2 teaspoons sugar 1½ cups water Toss together the diced Jerusalem artichokes, the turmeric, the garlic, the ginger, and the cumin. Pack the mixture into a jar with a capacity of at least 6 cups. Dissolve the salt and sugar in the water. Pour the brine over the Jerusalem artichokes; it will not cover them at first. Add a brine bag (a gallon freezer-weight plastic bag containing 1 tablespoon salt dissolved in 3 cups water) or another suitable weight. The next day the brine should cover the Jerusalem artichokes. If it doesn’t, add more brine mixed in the same proportions. Wait several days before tasting the pickle. I found it perfect after a week: The brine was sour, and the Jerusalem artichokes pleasantly, mildly spicy and still crunchy. When the pickle has fermented enough to suit your taste, store the jar in the refrigerator. Keep the Jerusalem artichokes weighted so they won’t take on a grayish cast.
Maybe hazelnuts... they are a big bush rather then a tree, it would need to be a pretty big pot though, like 100 gallons (US). Most nut trees are way (way) too big to grow in a pot.
I live in an apartment and grow some of my own vegetables on my flat rooftop. I have sowed some nuts recently, hopefully something grows out of them! We never know what our circumstances will be in a few years so we might as well just try and sow something that has the potential to grow into a tree. You can always give it away if you don't have the space as it grows. It's with that idea in mind that I have sowed a few apple seeds, most of them came out and a few of the plants are now about a feet tall!
Really good information here as far as being legit and fits with my past experiences. Especially your comments about all the gas from Jerusalem artichokes! :-)
Many pumpkin varieties are resistant to vine borers but that doesn't mean immune. You'll still want to keep a watchful eye on your crops and possibly add some B.T. for extra protection. -T-

An overlooked multi purpose crop is bamboo. The sprouts are edible and grow with little work. Mature plants are an excellent building material
Crops that surprised me this winter were: lentils, flax, broccoli, arugula and giant chinese cabbage.
All those survived and grew where we had temps of -12°C here in South Africa. (yes, I live in the cold part that doesn't get snow)
I might add: we haven't covered them at all, this was mostly for fun and experimentation.
use turnips in your vitamix to make a thickener for gravy, alfredo sauce, soups...we have done this as a wheat or cornstarch substitute
Cool tip Thanks.
roots, not greens, right?
@@lI1I1ll yes peeled and cut into about 1-2 inch pieces boiled like potatoes then strained but keep the liquid you will want some to make it more gravy like than paste...we added garlic to make a alfredo sauce on zucchini noodles
I've also heard they are very good roasted with herbs.
Cooked first? Or straight outta the ground, washed?
Fair warning about the cassava and african yams, they are poisonous if you don't prepare them right.
7:15 to 8:21 Sweet potatoes can be used also to produce sweet potato greens that are also edbile and nutrtious just like any leafy vegetable besides it's roots. The weird thing about sweet potatoes is that it is being used by certain hotels and parks as a cover crop!

Have you found a way to prepare them with no gas resulting?

Beans are great for bean sprouts in the winter when veggies are scarce.
One thing you COULD do, is grow grains and use them as feed for something like quail, which you use as meat. Eliminate the need to mill & grind, etc.
That's not a bad idea. You would need a high protein grain as quail need higher protein with their daily laying. Could also raise various insects and worms with waste to supplement their diet.
@@synocrat601 I'm going to move my quail to the greenhouse I'm building, and turn them loose whenever I have undesirable insects in the greenhouse.
Your BEST, most informative I have seen you do!
When you are talking about nutrition and balance you might want to mention that using any 2 of corn/rice/beans creates a total protein equal to animal proteins. Not corn at breakfast and rice at lunch. Must be eaten at the same meal for your body to get the full benefit of the partial proteins and convert to complete protein.
are you talking about amino acid profiles?

A book I have about settlers in Canada mention that turnips were grown for the purpose as a feeder for animals, not for consumption.
My wife made a turn up pie because we had so many turnips...... It was terrible LOL for that sir you got a new subscriber
You are very wise and thanks for all the great info.
If you separated the best foods by state and sold books for each state I would buy one for my area.
beetroot, Egyptian walking onions - brilliant!
also try shallots...they will keep you in onion like flaors and produce 5 for every one you plant
Sunchokes can easily be ate if you start off slowly and work your way up. Start by frying potatoes and onions and add a couple. Slowly add more each time you cook some. The great thing is Sunchokes are awesome for diabetics
The gas, though...
Great info. Turnips were used to feed horses back in the day. I'm always a bit surprised people serve them at Thanksgiving lol.

Hahaha you do not half to water them that’s what rain is for
I know someone who never waters his garden and remarkably it turns out great every year. I think he must be a magician of some sort.
I named my zucchini plant David, the good zucchini~
Good video. Next time I recommend adding pictures of the type of plant your talking about
A polite recommendation in YT comments?! I feel a little faint.

Broccoli is the best green thing you can grow, so much yield for so little work, the whole plant is edible
I love the Cherokee tan pumpkins. That is the type I have in my yard. They are awesome and more personal sized. They also keep for a year easy even in the deep south.

We can keep carrots for a year in our root cellar.
I found ground down nuts from two trees makes flour for bread, oil, and nut spread on the bread
Nice lists. How come nobody ever mentions avocados though? I'm in zone 9 and growing one and they are a great source of healthy fats.
1. Bloody Butcher (dent corn) grows great in the American Northeast, at least as far North as New York State. 2. Rampicante grows great both as a zucchini & later as a winter squash. You get a crazy amount of squashes. It would make a great staple crop.
I already bought all of my seed packets. :-)
Were they Heirloom seeds or the ones that the elites had modified?
Sweet potatoes 🍠

I was waiting for him to mention Kale and close to 17:00 he said it.
The good thing about turnips is you can plant the root turnips or the leaf only turnips.
Just grow wheat to make bread. It has good saturation and fills 3 hunger bars
what an excellent video about sustainable gardening with such wisdom thanks
tried growing 2 different corn worms in every Cob
Protien is protien!
Mineral oil on the top of the fibers that protrude for the tops...but put it on as soon as they start to develop.

survival foods at grocery store
try Franaar Spies Control Formula (just google it ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my mate got excellent results with it.
What about planting other plants that return the nutrients to the soil so it doesn't get depleted?
Grow pigeon peas
What I grow is already growing in the yard. Guess I'm going to be eating a lot of Polk salad.
You killed me with the turn up pie! Good information I am going to save your video and subscribe.
What about 'nixtamalization'???
Mushrooms are a better choice ...just need low temp and humidity..not even sunlight..can be grown in a room ...also with start producing in a month time..
“ nice, big, hard ,long...........keeping pumpkins
Great info !
Thanks, glad you liked it! -T-
Thanks ! Very informative 🙂
Breadfruit huh? Thats funny, my donut bush never sprouted...
David the Good you have an etsy store to sell those big as bean pods?
My mother made a pumpkin pie from one of those big pumpkins. Yes, it tasted terrible.
Jerusalme fartichokes my friend calls them...
wow well done.
Thank you! -T-
Excellent! Thanks.
You can also eat the leaves of sweet potatoes if you don’t have enough greens around

cooking Jerusalem Artichoke in lemon juice get rid of the gas also here is a pickle recipe for them
1½ pounds Jerusalem artichokes, broken into nodes, thoroughly scrubbed, and cut into ½-inch dice
1 teaspoon ground dried turmeric
1 ounces garlic (about 8 cloves), chopped
½ ounce fresh ginger, minced (about 1 ½ tablespoons)
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
2 teaspoons pickling salt
2 teaspoons sugar
1½ cups water
Toss together the diced Jerusalem artichokes, the turmeric, the garlic, the ginger, and the cumin. Pack the mixture into a jar with a capacity of at least 6 cups. Dissolve the salt and sugar in the water. Pour the brine over the Jerusalem artichokes; it will not cover them at first. Add a brine bag (a gallon freezer-weight plastic bag containing 1 tablespoon salt dissolved in 3 cups water) or another suitable weight.
The next day the brine should cover the Jerusalem artichokes. If it doesn’t, add more brine mixed in the same proportions.
Wait several days before tasting the pickle. I found it perfect after a week: The brine was sour, and the Jerusalem artichokes pleasantly, mildly spicy and still crunchy.
When the pickle has fermented enough to suit your taste, store the jar in the refrigerator. Keep the Jerusalem artichokes weighted so they won’t take on a grayish cast.
Can you grow nut trees in pots?
Maybe hazelnuts... they are a big bush rather then a tree, it would need to be a pretty big pot though, like 100 gallons (US). Most nut trees are way (way) too big to grow in a pot.

You can always give it away if you don't have the space as it grows. It's with that idea in mind that I have sowed a few apple seeds, most of them came out and a few of the plants are now about a feet tall!
excellent, thank you

I eat once every 3 days.
Hmmmm “I HAD A FRIEND” lol 😂
ty
Is there any non gmo corn left??
Yes, some countries are gmo free, you can also buy gmo corn flour in some South American and or Italian stores
Only for "personal consumption", if you sell it retail the gov requires GMO seed be planted
How much luck have people had with seminole pumpkins and vine borers?
Many pumpkin varieties are resistant to vine borers but that doesn't mean immune. You'll still want to keep a watchful eye on your crops and possibly add some B.T. for extra protection. -T-
Yeah, "I had a friend too!"
Live and learn, right?
Grow amaranth, sorghum and toss the plants on dry ground to let the chickens and goats eat this, then eat them!
Grain feed live stock chicken
"GRITS... GREAT FOR THE APOCALYPSE" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds good to me. To each his own.
Well we are here now
Why mention Jerusalem artichokes if they're difficult to digest and turnips if they suck?
You neglected beets.
Beets are calorific, full of vitamins, good for circulation (nitric oxide) and also grow well in the northern part of U.S.
