Ok, I'm getting off this subject today.
For pocket change one can go to a farm supply store next month and buy seeds for almost every garden vegetable. Make sure the seed is "open pollinated" that is "NOT HYBRID!)
For those who don't know, seeds from hybrid crops and vegetables if planted will not produce anything. You can see how easily a large corporation could grab control of food supplies.
Keep your seed in the freezer or in a dry cool place. Replace every three to five years. Corn will keep frozen and still germinate up to ten yrs.
I learned this the hard way - don't plant a bunch of corn from just one dozen ears. By the second season it will be so inbred that it won't produce. This is redundant but important. Buy open pollinated seed corn - mix yellow and white if you want, a pound here, a pound there to make sure of a diverse genetic gene pool. When replanting, shell a little corn off 100 different ears if possible (you must save seed and dry it) For those who know Christianity, you've heard of first fruits. When saving garden seed you must take the first fruits from your garden an extract the seeds for next year even though you would really like to eat it.
As far as who is going to sit up every night with a gun to keep out hungry people, well, you're on your own.

It's hard enough to plant the garden, tend the garden, harvest the garden, then put up the food you gathered for the winter. Now you are telling me I have to go buy a gun and stay up all night. This sounds like a bad movie.
