Half-read a post the other day (and then got distracted) about what vegetables the poster would plant in a garden tailored to surviving food scarcity--which, to be clear, I think is an important and not at all crazy subject. Food scarcity is a possible outcome of several converging trends in the US and elsewhere--authoritarianism has led to some of the worst famines in recent history, for example, as has a rich and powerful "aristocracy" deciding that profit matters more than feeding people (ask the Irish). And then there's climate disasters, obviously. I'm not trying to be scary. I'm trying to nudge past the kneejerk reaction a lot of leftists understandably have to anything that smacks of "survivalism" and its associated hyper-individualism. The point isn't "oh god we're fucked", the point is that concerns about food scarcity are not unreasonable, and choosing to work on your (and your community's) food independence is a really good goal for those who have the resources.
That post is long gone from my dash, but I do remember it mentioning lettuce and tomatoes and corn, and me thinking that honestly those would NOT be my picks for a survival garden. Like, I want to be clear, I grow those things, and those are good things to grow! But lettuce produces almost no calories and relatively few nutrients. Corn...corn has caveats. First, it has to be planted in large blocks in order to be pollinated, because it's wind pollinated. You can't just plant a row or two. Also, if it's sweet corn, it's very highly perishable, and if it's a dry corn, like a dent corn meant for flour, it requires processing. More on that later. And tomatoes kinda combine the above problems--large, not a ton of calories, and highly perishable, PLUS they take a bit of skill to get good yields (source: me. My tomato plants always suck ass.)
I think everyone's veggie picks are going to vary wildly based on their eating habits and growing conditions. But when I think about survival gardening, I think about calories per area. That is, in a given area, with a realistic yield, how many calories you can expect to get out of a crop. Because in a survival situation, what you need more than anything is calories. Nutrients matter, but I'll be honest, if you're really suddenly eating mostly unprocessed plant foods, along with what weeds you can forage (which is quite a lot where I am), you might be doing better nutritionally than pizza and tacos. And when it comes to calories per acre, potatoes and sweet potatoes (which are not actually related botanically) are basically the undisputed kings in temperate climates.
There are a bunch of other things along those lines that I would choose to grow--beets, turnips, carrots, onions, and things less known now like skirret and salsify are the calorie-dense vegetables that my European ancestors ate before the Columbian Exchange. Everyone once again say thank you to Precolombian agronomists and farmers for potatoes, sweet potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, squash... Or there's sunchokes, which take a little getting used to in the kitchen, but in most places they absolutely cannot be beaten for plant it and forget about it perennial food.
If you do have more space, the dry corn really is a good idea, but you need some means to grind it or nixtamalize it, and that and getting it off the cob, etc., are going to take time and energy. Another crop that takes a lot of space but has a great yield of calories and easy processing is winter squash, like pumpkins. The big advantage of those is that if you pick the right varieties, these will store for months, in their original form, if you just put them someplace cool but not freezing. You can have a hubbard squash in the garage until March and then cut it up and have food in half an hour. Also, as we all know from all the adorable zoo videos, a whole lot of animals will eat squash, including chickens.
Anyhow. There's a million things you could grow, including more nutrient dense greens like mustard or collards, herbs to make staple foods more palatable, etc. But when I think gardening for food security, I think calories.
Ok- I've read about salsify, but never skirret!? WHAT is?!
this year - I am attempting sweet potato for the first time. send me goodvibes.
Skirret is a delightful multi-rooted perennial member of the carrot family! Harvested fall through winter, and propagated by seed or crown division. I've become a huge fan and proponent.
Good luck with the sweet potatoes!
I'd like to add to this something that always bothers me with "off the grid" or survivalist gardens. You HAVE to garden like you will not have access to 500 gallons of pest/herb/fungicide, because you likely would not in a true SHTF situation. Insect issues are WAY easier in your veggie garden than you may believe, it's just planting things that repel bugs next to them, such as marigolds, rosemary, and basil. Or plants that are even MORE enticing such as nasturtiums. It's encouraging predators like mantis & spiders to watch over your garden.
And this brings me to my next point is fertilizers. Modern garden is heavily dependent on them and I can't tell you how many gardening things will say "hey just get this fertilizer" instead of showing you how to make your own. It's poop, poop is the best fertilizer ever. In a SHTF situation I would hope you have some small livestock that are easy to care for, if you don't have a lot of space quail. If you have more space, chickens are great especially heritage breeds or my personal fave bantams who are actually better for feed (30% less than standard breeds). When you are not harvesting them for meat don't forget you will be getting eggs the entire time. That dent corn you grew? It makes good livestock feed. But the real kicker is these things are just shitting out nitrogen all the time! Clean your pen, and work it into your garden. Plant things like alfalfa which are nitrogen fixing, bonus you or your livestock can eat this as well! Your ancestors domesticated a wide variety of livestock and plants, in a system like this there's very little waste material as everything has a job.
And then if you had time to prep, invest in a solar powered electric fence. This will keep out rabbits and deer from your crops! Which is important since they can strip your garden bare overnight. You can even double duty this space to shield your livestock from predators such as coyotes and bears, or roaming feral dogs. Throw in a hawk kite, and birds will be much more likely to also leave the garden alone.
As for plant recs, summer squash hands down. It's gonna be a MEGA producer all summer. Their shelf life is low, however this means you can feast on these (or use them for livestock feed!) while your longer storage crops like dent corn, potatoes and winter squash are growing. Have you ever heard about the curse of the zucchini? Yeah it's all true they are over productive as fuck, plant 4 and embrace it.
Here's some photos of my raised beds around my chicken pens, they are overly productive, in fact they produce more than we can use and we end up giving away a good amount to friends and neighbors. They also serve to help prevent my runs from being flooded + provide a lot of shade during our 100F+ temps in summer. I call this my "lazy organic style" gardening, there's no pesticides or commercial fertilizers happening here. It's literally just chicken manure, companion planting and picking off the few bugs like squash bugs or army worms who aren't as perturbed by these things early in the season before they can establish themselves.

Gonna make one hundred soups this year. Starting off with kapustnyak, carrot soup, chickpea soup, and parsnip soup.
4% complete.
8% complete baybeee. This may end up being a long post. Hope you like the colour of the soup.
Can't stop won't stop. 15 soups so far.
Slowed down for a minute because vet bills ate up my grocery budget but made it to 20%, baybEEEE.
Whoops I slowed down but BAM, 25%. I'm gonna make a comeback baybeeEEEE.
I AM BECOMING SO POWERFUL
Four new BEAN BASED SOUPS, the first one trailblazing because it was a taco soup recipe courtesy of @alex-of-1000-dumbasseries. 61 IN THE BAG, 39 TO GO.
I am also linking my soup planning doc because I can, and it's easier than tagging all of them individually.
Have I lost all my followers yet? NOT YET. Time for more soups. I'm up to 70 now.
OP this is a gorgeous post and Iām so proud of you

The three primary uses of masks in film are entertainment, disguise and protection. From ancient Greek plays through Japanese Noh theater, masks are deeply intertwined in the universal language of entertainment and ritual, and its power as a transformative tool is so ritualized and timeworn that it is the unofficial logo for an entire artform. Since theater was an influence on early motion pictures (consider the framing and gestural acting of silent film), it figures that masks would be smuggled into movies, and some of the most enduring images from film history are now associated with masks. āAlex Vlahov

Glad itās not just me
I was thinking through what else Iām looking forward to this holiday season and I realized I havenāt mentioned it on here, just on discord, butā MY MOMS BEEN MAKING ME A REALLY COOL ART THING??
I think Iāve talked about it before, but my mom has been a quilter for most of my life and in the last few years started doing these really cool fabric collages, and it was my turn to request one so I asked for a phoenix cause Iām obsessed with this one art piece I did in art therapy ages ago
Anyway, my mom has been working on it and THIS was the last update I got???
Iām so excited for it?? Canāt wait to see where itās at by the time I get there this weekend
dude holy fucking shit???? this is. beyond insane. i also quilt, though i've never tried paper piecing - though this doesnt even look like that. this has surpassed any and every sort of traditional quilt work. i can't even imagine how this is put together. im just staring at it in absolute wonder. youve short circuited my brain with how beautiful that is, and 'beautiful' isnt a strong enough word for what this is
So, as far as I can tell, this is a technique involving cutting tiny pieces of fabric with the colors/patterns you want and pinning and using fabric glue, and then sometimes sewing over top depending on the size of the pieces (this is what Iāve gathered from listening to my mom talk about it, but I know she learned the technique from a specific artist I canāt remember the name of who sells books and classes). My mom also frequently uses tulle over areas with lots of small piecing, usually as a way to adjust color but also I think cause itās easier to sew the tulle piece than try and quilt aaaaalll of the little bits and pieces.
Hereās some pics from the workroom when I visited in November, and some pics from in-progress pieces before they were finished, if that gives you a better idea of how it works ^^
And hereās some finished pieces!
Update! I asked my mom for the name of the artist who she learned the technique from! If youāre curious about this style, you can find more info on her website! https://susancarlson.com/
Susan Carlson Quilts
Apparently sheās very generous with free tutorials as well as having books and workshops
Update! Re:technique, itās mostly glued at first, with extra glue as well as some free motion quilting on top over areas that donāt have tulle over them, and tulle stitched over some areas.
Also updates on the phoenix!
You can kinda see the metallic details on some of the fabrics chosen! I love them. Also a glimpse at some of the bits cut out to use in the tail!
Iāll sneak into the quilting room for more closeups of this and other pieces before I leave ^^
Updates! (First, oops I forgot to get more pics of the work room when I was home; family visits are always busier than expected)
I was given two options for background as my mom was finishing up the bird partā
I ended up picking the greener one cause I love all the gold stuff, and my mom added even more gold details for that mythical feel
So this is the current most recent form!
I'm going out of my fucking mind.
Actual roman epitaph for a dog
humans are the same
Iāve seen this one doing the rounds a few times (and it makes me cry every time I see it), but was curious about the original Latin text, so I did some digging: itās a shortened version of CIL 10, 00659, a tombstone from Salernum (modern Salerno, Italy). (source; CIL is the Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum).
Portaui lacrimis madidus te, nostra catella,
Ā Ā Ā Quod feci lustris laetior ante tribus.
Ergo mihi, Patrice, iam non dabis oscula mille
Ā Ā Ā Nec poteris collo grata cubare meo.
Tristis marmorea posui te sede merentem
Ā Ā Ā Et iunxi semper manib(us) ipse meis
Morib(us) argutis hominem simulare paratam,
Ā Ā Ā Perdidimus quales hei mihi delicias.
Tu, dulcis Patrice, nostras attingere mensas
Ā Ā Consueras, gremio poscere blanda cibos,
Lambere tu calicem lingua rapiente solebas,
Ā Ā Ā Quem tibi saepe meae sustinuere manus,
Accipere et lassum cauda gaudente frequenter
And hereās my translation:
Wet with tears I have carried you, our little (female) dog, just as I did in happier times fifteen years earlier (lit.Ā āthree periods of five years).Ā For myself, Patrice, now you will not give me a thousand kisses nor will you be able to lie lovingly around/against my neck.Ā I have sorrowfully placed you, merit-worthy, in a marble tomb and I have joined you always to myself in death, as by your cleverness you matched a human.Ā Alas, we lost such pleasures for myself!Ā You, sweet Patrice, were accustomed to join us at our table, to beg charmingly for food (while sitting in our) laps.Ā You were in the habit of greedily licking our cups with your tongue, which my hands often held for you.Ā Frequently and joyfully (you) receive a weary one with your (wagging) tail...
tl;dr: this dog was named Patrice and was very, very loved.Ā (another translation with some glossing of the text.)
