Ooh! Ooh! Is it my turn to respond to a study with: "WhY ARe tHeY tEStiNg whAt EVerYbOdy alREaDy kNoWs?!"

If only people didn't need to commute to an office 3-5 days a week! Gee, if only that was proven to work at scale for multiple years!

I feel like you just avoided the subject. If everyone fully relies on someone elses agriculture for all their calories then that's putting all your eggs in one basket for an emergency. A farmer suddenly getting a thousand volunteers doesn't increase the number of potatoes ready for harvest.

Sunchokes are a suggestion because they are perennial, store in the ground, and require no care so long as they are contained.

Something like potatoes would be great for more people if they were perennial and hands off.

If you have land it wouldn't hurt to have some survival crops. Something like sunchokes (a.k.a. jerusalem artichokes, bad name because they're not an artichoke and more like a sunflower) can grow well in a sectioned off space where they can't spread. In an emergency the tubers can be dug up and cooked, though they'll probably give you a lot of gas from the high inulin content.

Personally I love raspberries and black raspberries, which are easy to grow just don't plant them where they can spread and run wild. It's nice to have fresh berries!

That would result in tons of exploitable security vulnerabilities

I used to take the stairs instead of the elevator on my way out on Fridays because I sure as he'll didn't want to get stuck in the elevator on a Friday evening! It definitely grew on me and I started doing it everyday. People did in fact get stuck in the elevator. More than a couple times lol

It's not targeted for 2030, it's a case of "it's ready when it's ready"

Also because it shows her walking to the right then flips perspective and she's on the left, confusing the viewer

I just wanted to let you know that I found your comments very interesting! Also, what would happen if adding human got a fecal transplant from a gorilla? Asking for a friend

 

For my fellow US Mid-Atlantic gardeners, what and when do you start prepping for the growing season?

For annuals I'm curious what you feel is worth growing from seed and when do you start it?

For perennials I'd like to know what if anything you do mid to late winter.

As for myself I plan to take some cuttings of elderberry and root them indoors. Hoping I can plant them by spring. In later February I plan to prune a peach tree and then attempt my first ever graft using the pruning.
