I'm so sick of dummies thinking they are going to survive the collapse of society or prevent it buy planting a vegetable garden.

And yet I see someone posting their anxiety cope on here once a week, at least. Asking for advice how to become a homesteader on their 1/4 acre lot in a city/suburb. They write a 1000 word essay on the topic, asking of r 'advice' how to learn a lifetime of veggie growing experience into a few sentences so that they can be coming 'self sufficient'.

Grow plants if you want, for fun. But stop with the prepper bullshit. Stop being an paranoid egotistical idiot. If society collapses, you are fucked and there is shit you can do about it. You are not the protagonist of a apocalyptic movie, sorry to inform you. You are an extra whose only purpose in the story is to die or already be dead in the background of the shot.

Yep not to mention that if you manage to have a good garden when SHTF you're just the first target for the raiders.

There is an excellent, practical book about surviving economic collapse by someone who went through it in Argentina.

We all know someone like this!

i heard potatoes or tuberous plants are better bang for the buck, but they are notoriously hard to control, since they can be invasive because they reproduce asexually and quick.

Yeah good luck outsmarting the squirrels on the tomatoes...

You'll do well for about 2 weeks, so you got that going for you...

I feel personally attacked.

I looked into what it would take for me to grow tomatoes here in NM, and decided against it.
