So it's March 1st, time to get off your ass and put some effort in to being a little more self-reliant. You don't need 500 acres, and you don't need to try and plant enough food to feed half of America. Start small, ok? Even in an apartment, you can learn to do a small container garden. And if you were lucky enough in the pre-biden times to afford a house, even better. Try growing a few veggies that you like; simple stuff like tomatoes or peppers, whatever. Use this year as your "learning year" if you must. Get a few plants in the ground (or in the 5 gal bucket) around the first of May (depending on the weather in your area) and when it's time to start harvesting in July, your sense of self-satisfaction will be off the chart. There's too much free info on the web now to keep even a novice from learning how to grow some food for themselves. And take what you learn in 2024 and try and do better in '25.
