QuestionGood day
In the event of a natural disaster and food becomes scare, what would would be the top 5 -10 foods and vegetables that one can grow that you would recommend that matches all of the following characteristics:
1. Grows fast
2. Plant or fruit produces seeds that can be used to produce other plants
3. Could sustain someone for several months
4. Can be grown indoors if one does not have outdoor space
5. Requires little or minimal sunlight / care
AnswerHi,
Interesting question. Are you doing research or is this just a question for yourself?
The veggies I would choose are:
kale, collards, spinach, Swiss chard, beans, cabbage, squash (you would have to choose one variety of squash) and salad greens (like lettuce, arugula, mustard greens)
I believe all these veggies cover all the 5 criteria. If you have any other questions regarding my choices please let me know.
Happy gardening,
Catherine Abbott
