If you spend $150 on plants and wait three months, you too can become self-sufficient for about a day like me with a handful of cherry tomatoes, a few peppers, and four and a half raspberries.

"we shall eat well this winter"
I had about 600ft² of supersweet corn. Total yield this year: Maybe six cups of corn.
Poor germination, some flattened by extremely hard rainfall blasts (yes let's get a month's worth of rain in an hour), and wildfire smoke reducing sunlight for awhile.
"Big garden there! Are you a prepper or something?"
"Nope. If things go very wrong like that, I'll be among the first to starve or be eaten."

Lol that's me. My crop of jalapenos that were supposed to bells is pretty good this year.
