Prepper Garden Seeds 11/4-11/10/2024

Hey there, fellow Americans! Let's dive into a topic that's becoming more relevant by the day: prepper garden seeds. In times of crisis—or when SHTF (Stuff Hits The Fan, for those of you new to the preparedness community)—having a stockpile of these seeds could be your lifeline. It's all about ensuring you and your family have enough food, even when the supermarket shelves run empty.

Think about it for a moment. Imagine a scenario where the food supply chain hits a snag. No fresh produce, no canned goods, zip! That's when having your own garden loaded with prepper garden seeds becomes crucial. The peace of mind knowing you can feed your family during uncertain times is unbeatable. And trust me, getting started is easier than you might think.

Perhaps you're thinking, "But I don’t know the first thing about gardening!" No worries! Companies like David's Garden Seeds® are here to help. They offer quality garden seeds and useful resources you can use to learn how to grow your own food. With a little guidance, just about anyone can turn a seed into a salad or a seedling into a feast. In fact, David and Juanita have two very helpful websites with how-to articles on all sorts of gardening topics.

Having a garden is more than just food security. It’s a rewarding experience that connects you with nature. Plus, who doesn’t enjoy the taste of fresh, homegrown veggies? Whether you're a seasoned gardener or someone who's never held a spade, growing your own vegetables is a delicious venture into self-sufficiency.

So, what exactly are prepper garden seeds? Essentially, they are seeds chosen for their ability to grow well in diverse conditions. These seeds are typically heirloom varieties, known for their resilience and ability to regenerate season after season. And they’re a game-changer when you want to be prepared for any doomsday scenario.

Welcome to the week and happy Monday! Tomorrow is Election Day! I have been awake for hours and it is just 7am right now. How I hate time changes. It takes me weeks to get used to the new times. I have been watching new Trump ads this morning. He makes great ads.

It is sprinkling again. I hope we can get some measurable rainfall today.

I called the dental office at 8am. Amazingly, they said they could take me at 9am. I went and after three x-rays and eight numbing injections, the dentist popped that tooth out in three tries! This is the easiest wisdom tooth that came out of my mouth. I was so scared it would be awful but it wasn't bad. I was out of the chair by 9:40am and now I am back home. So glad it is over with. Now my mouth is getting more numb than when the tooth was pulled!

Matt is out back taking care of two of the meat birds today. Then he needs to take the truck to get a tire repaired. There is a screw in it so it has been fun driving around. After that, my prescriptions for my tooth need to be picked up.

So Matt got all of that done. He culled the rooster and one female. Of course, the female had more meat on it.

It is now 10:40am. My tooth was extracted over an hour ago and now my nose and my left eyelid are numb. The numbness is spreading when it should be wearing off! It promises to be a strange day...

Around 1pm, I went out to Fulfillment and started mailing orders. We never did have any customers and that is okay because I did not want to deal with them with my tooth. The numbness went away and I was okay. There was very little blood.

Well, it got up to 92° so it was hot and sunny in the afternoon. I never had very much pain with my tooth. David made a homemade duck soup and it was good.

Good morning and happy election day! I am so excited for President Trump to win. I just turned on CBS at 7am and they put up a map showing all the different ways that Kamala will win tonight. No. God spared President Trump twice for a reason. I believe He will bless our country. I am so hopeful.

By the way, I feel pretty good this morning. David will be going into San Antonio to help Nacho pick up our bamboo trees, my banana tree, and my honeysuckle bush that we picked out last week.

I have tons of orders to fill and mail out so I will be staying here. Michelle will be coming to clean so I will have a clean home for election night. I hope it is a landslide so we don't have to wait for days or weeks for the results.

It was windy yesterday, especially at night. Around midnight, the rain started. It poured and poured. This morning, the rain gauge shows that we got 3/4 of an inch! We really needed that and more. So far this morning, there is no rain. It is 64° and feels amazing outside.

The media is so full of crap. All they are doing this morning is talking about how prices will be low under Kamala and high under Trump. Do they really think the American people have forgotten how much higher prices are right now than they were in 2020???

The day went quickly. David met Nacho in San Antonio. They brought trees back here. Then David went back to San Antonio for some flowers. We had one customer who stayed for almost an hour and bought just two packs of seeds. I spent the day taking care of problems and pulling and mailing out seed orders.

Matt sent five chickens to freezer camp today.

I finally made a Walmart grocery order. I got a notification that my groceries were almost here. I went out by the gate to open it. While I was out there, I noticed the crescent moon by the cell tower. Then I noticed a man climbing down. It was almost totally dark! There is no way that I would be up there, especially in the dark! My groceries got delivered at 6:15pm, just as it got dark. I finished putting everything away.

I am now looking at election returns on TV and they keep talking about how Kamala will win...

Matt brought burgers and we sat in the den watching returns. Somewhere between 7pm and 8pm, I felt a prick and then another on my abdomen. I got up and started for my bedroom so I could take off my shirt and find the sticker. As I hit the living room, I saw something big fall out of my shirt. I screamed bloody murder. It went under a stool. I took the cushion off and flipped the stool. I saw it again. I screamed again. Then I screamed for Matt. He casually strolled into the living room to make fun of his overly dramatic mom.

I went to turn on the big light and tripped over the cushion. I went down hard on my left knee. I got up and flipped the chair. Matt saw it--a five inch centipede had been living under my shirt. I never felt it crawl on me. Matt sent him on to his just reward as David made it out to the living room. I have no idea how, when, or where this thing got on me.

After I completely changed clothes, we continued with the returns on Fox as well as on my phone with Benny Johnson. Of course, Benny Johnson called it way earlier than the TV channels...

Matt got up around 11pm and decided to go home. By then, my tooth pain was getting unbearable. I took some pain pills, got a shower, and watched Benny Johnson until 1:10am, knowing for sure that Trump will be our president again!

Prepper Garden Seeds - How To Choose The Best Seeds

Selecting the right seeds is the foundation of successful gardening. With so many varieties available, how do you choose? Start by considering climate, space, and food preferences.

Heirloom seeds are a favorite among preppers as they’re open-pollinated and breed true to type. This means you can save and replant seeds every year, which reduces the need to purchase new ones continually. For top-tier quality, look no further than David's Garden Seeds®. We have over 1,000 heirloom seed varieties to choose from.

Read the articles available on David's Garden Seeds® and Mrs. David's Garden Seeds® websites for tailored advice on seed selection. They'll help you get started on the right foot so that your garden meets your needs and survives long-term challenges.

Remember to opt for a mix of veggies that your family enjoys. If you don’t love Brussels sprouts, skip them! Choose varieties that are easy to grow and maintain for your area. Your garden should feel like an extension of your needs, not just a survival strategy.

Wednesday, November 6, 2024

Well, what a night it was! Trump won! I am so thrilled! It is 6am and I am now watching Trump's victory speech. David is getting ready to take our little Trump to be neutered. He has to be at the vet's office by 7:30am.

The first thing I did this morning was to ask Alexa who won the election. To my delight, Alexa said Trump won!

I got less than five hours of sleep so it will be a long day.

My banana tree ended up in the backyard yesterday but my honeysuckle bush is still out in front by the driveway.

I need to get dressed and start planting some of my rooted plants so I can sell them next spring.

Trump is at the vet now and Kitty is at the groomer. She is all knotted up from when David put her outside. We could not get the knots out. I think she will need to be shaved.

Turns out the groomer could do nothing with the cat.

Matt is planting my honeysuckle and I am at work watching some videos about President Trump's great win last night. All glory goes to God! I am enjoying seeing the liberals and Hollywood have meltdowns. When will Kamala come out? Lol! She is coming out later this afternoon.

Michelle came to clean and we had three sets of customers throughout the day. I just took a short nap in the house because I was falling asleep since I didn't get much sleep last night.

Matt planted my banana tree. One limb was bent so we cut it off and planted it to see if we can root it. No sense in wasting it. It would have died because of the bend. I looked it up on YouTube and it can be done. It might not work. I have never dealt with a banana tree before.

I still haven't planted all of the plants that I rooted. More of my Birds of Paradise are coming up now.

We picked Trump up from the vet at 4:30pm. He was happy to see us but he did wince in pain quite a bit all evening. He went in the kennel and slept away from the other dogs. Poor little guy...

Prepper Garden Seeds - Planning Your Garden

Planning is a crucial step. Design your garden layout, think about the space you have, and decide what to plant where. Maximize sun exposure and consider companion planting to boost productivity.

For instance, pair fast-growing crops with slower ones to save space and harvest earlier yields. Carrots with radishes are a classic example. While the radishes grow quickly and are ready to harvest, the carrots continue growing underneath.

Take into account the size of your prepper garden seeds stockpile. You want a well-rounded selection that can keep your meal plans diverse. A planning notebook or a garden planner app can be handy in keeping track of what you plant and harvest.

Rotating crops is another key element. It helps maintain soil health and reduces the likelihood of pest infestations. Simply switch the location of different plant families each growing season to keep your soil in top condition.

In Texas and in other warm climates, remember that there is an early spring growing season as well as a late fall growing season. Forget about trying to grow things in the miserably hot summer with the exception of okra. If you want pumpkins and winter squash, they will need to be started in July so consider shade cloth to help them from burning up in the direct sun.

Trump took a pain chewy this morning and ate breakfast. It is a bit foggy out. I am still waking up far too early in the morning due to the time change.

I have been sending out a newsletter and filling orders. David went to a funeral but he is back now. It is overcast but there has been no rain yet. There is a 66% chance at 1pm. I sure hope it does. We have some new trees that need to be decently watered. It is currently noon and 83°. Time for me to go get some lunch...

So far, no visitors today. It is now almost 3pm. We did not get the rain at 1pm. Now the forecast says a 51% chance at 11pm. In other words, we are not getting rain.

I went out to collect the eggs just as the sun was going down. The water pipe was broken so there was a muddy mess. Matt fixed it. Fortunately, he was still here. We watched Hell's Kitchen this evening and enjoyed it.

Prepper Garden Seeds - Planting And Tending

Once you’ve planned your garden, it’s time to get dirty. There's something incredibly satisfying about planting seeds and watching them grow. Don’t worry if you’re unsure how to start; resources from David's Garden Seeds® and Mrs. David's Garden Seeds® can guide you step-by-step.

Begin by preparing the soil. Good soil is the bedrock of a thriving garden. Aim for a balance of organic matter that’s loose and well-drained. Composting is an excellent way to enrich your soil with the nutrients needed for robust plant growth. You should be making your own compost.

As you plant your seeds, follow the guidelines regarding depth and spacing. It’s easy to get excited and plant too many seeds too close together, but this can lead to overcrowding and stunted growth.

Watering your garden is another essential step. Aim for a consistent schedule that ensures your plants receive adequate moisture without being waterlogged. Similarly, keeping on top of weeds will help prevent them from competing with your plants for nutrients.

Good morning. Trump is running around and having fun again so he is feeling much better after his surgery just two days ago. We did not get any more rain and it is sunny out there this morning. Our seed person is off today.

I spent an hour planting many of my rooted plants and then I opened the store and cleaned out the pond. Now I will get started on orders for the day. Matt is gardening, weeding, watering, and harvesting. David is in his office CEOing.

It is now 2:30pm. The sky is gray but we did not get any rain. I went out to look at the garden and found a Black Beauty Eggplant and six slicing tomatoes as well as two cherry tomatoes. The cherry tomatoes were tasty. I took the other things in the house.

Matt picked some of the garden corn.

I finally got all of the orders filled and mailed. It is now 4:30pm and the air is much cooler. The sky is darker. Matt planted two moringa trees in the backyard that we grew from seed. The one we planted a few months ago is doing great. That one is near the front gate. Alexa is calling for rain at 5pm so I think we will put the animals away now.

I made a delicious dinner of shrimp and grits and the corn picked from the garden today. I will definitely be making this dish again. It was so good. Who knew? The corn was sweet and wonderful. November corn...Yum!

Prepper Garden Seeds - Troubleshooting Problems

So, you’re tending your garden, and things look good. But, what if you face issues like pests or disease? Preparation in a prepper sense also means knowing how to tackle these hurdles.

Common pests like aphids and caterpillars can be managed with natural solutions. Companion planting, such as planting basil with tomatoes, can deter insects naturally. You can also make simple homemade sprays with soap to combat infestations. On the market, there are some organic sprays like Safer Soap and Hot Pepper Wax Spray that you can coat your plants in before the bugs hit. Just be sure to wash your produce well.

Diseases often arise from poor practices, so keep a watchful eye. Rotate crops, maintain cleanliness, and ensure good air circulation around your plants to minimize risks. If issues do arise, resources from David’s Garden Seeds® can offer solutions for most common problems.

Remember, part of successful gardening is trial and error. Learn from each season and adapt your strategy as needed. Gardening is not just about the end result but appreciating the process and what you learn along the way. Every year is a bit different depending on temperatures, rainfall, wind, bugs, etc.

Saturday, November 9, 2024

It is now almost 7pm. It was a long day. I got some orders done but there were not many. Not too many people think about buying seeds in November.

We had one customer at the store today.

After work, I baked some butterscotch bars for the church potluck tomorrow. I have never made them before but they came out good.

The animals are doing well. I had a fight with Norton this evening. He kept trying to get me with his horns. He has gotten too big for me to handle. I think we may have to put him in another pen or get rid of him. Matt can handle him just fine but I just don't have the strength anymore.

Well, it is time for Svengoolie. Have a great night.

Prepper Garden Seeds - Learning & Sustainability

Becoming an adept gardener takes time and continuous learning. As you gain confidence, you can explore more complex techniques, like saving seeds and composting.

Seed saving not only saves money, but it ensures you have stock for future planting seasons. Focus on doing this with open-pollinated varieties, like those from David's Garden Seeds®. With these, you are always ready, come what may.

Composting your kitchen scraps along with garden waste will enrich your soil naturally. It’s a sustainable practice that not only reduces waste but also gives back to the earth. Healthy soil leads to healthy plants, providing you with nutrient-dense produce.

Equip yourself with knowledge. From gardening books to online forums, there are countless places to learn more about developing your green thumb. Embrace this knowledge and think of it as a journey to self-reliance.

Sunday, November 10, 2024

Hello and happy Sunday. I got up early, at 3:25am, because my nose was clogged. I went to the living room and could not go to sleep. I then went to the den and the dogs started molesting me so I could not get back to sleep. At 5:30am, I went back to my bed and managed to fall asleep for less than an hour. I got up and fed all of the animals inside and then outside.

I got ready and we went to church. After church, we had a Thanksgiving tamale potluck outside in the shade. There was a lot of food and there were a lot of people. My lemon bars always do well but the butterscotch bars were only half gone. I guess I should keep making those. The food was good. I sat across from a lady who told me she was going to try to make apple cider vinegar. I sat there momentarily wondering why she would tell me that. Then it hit me that recently I wrote a page on vinegar. If you missed that article, you can read it here.

So I asked her if she reads my website. She said she does and that she orders seeds from us but has not made it out to the Farm Store yet. I invited her to bring her kids and come over for a tour. That was nice of her to mention so shout out to Lacey! I thought there was just one person at the church who reads my website...shout out to Annalee!

Real life...I came home to two piles of dog number two and a pile of vomit. They were from two different dogs and neither of them was baby Trump...So I had a wonderful time cleaning all of that up. Thank God for those mini carpet cleaners. I don't know what I would do without one!

David is now napping with three dogs and I have the cat and Ethel in my office while I work. I am catching up on videos that I did not get to watch yesterday. I also have some laundry going and I still need to empty the dishwasher and load today's dishes...So many fun tasks to perform at home, right? Also, there is a very annoying gnat bothering me. I just plugged in one of those sticky bug traps that lights up blue and I hope I can catch him because he has been harrassing me for several days.

Prepper Garden Seeds - Harvesting & Storage

Perhaps the most exciting part of gardening is when you finally get to harvest. All your hard work pays off, and you’re rewarded with fresh, homegrown produce that you can truly appreciate.

When the time's right, pick your veggies at their peak. They’ll be tastier and packed with nutrients. If you’ve grown excess, think about preserving your harvest. Canning, freezing, freeze drying, and dehydrating are excellent methods for ensuring your bounty lasts well into the winter months.

Proper storage is key for keeping produce fresh. Ensure you store them in cool, dry conditions, away from direct sunlight. Each type of vegetable might require different methods, so do some research on the best practices for your harvest.

Garden-grown food has unparalleled taste and satisfaction. It’s about more than just survival; it’s about thriving and enjoying the fruits of your labor. Having prepper garden seeds from a reliable source like David's Garden Seeds® gives you that assurance.

So there you have it! Growing your own food is a practical step in becoming self-sufficient. When the world gets unpredictable, your garden will be your safe haven. Plus, it’s an enriching experience that brings joy and fulfillment.

By taking the time to cultivate your knowledge and skills, you build a valuable resource: a thriving home garden. You're no longer at the mercy of unpredictable events because you’ve chosen empowerment and sustainability.

Besides, there’s a community of fellow gardeners out there ready to support and share their insights. If this is your first venture into gardening, don’t hesitate to ask questions or seek advice. Everyone was a beginner once, and the gardening community is often eager to lend a hand.

Building and sustaining a garden goes beyond just planting seeds. It’s a lifestyle choice that promotes resilience, health, and self-sufficiency. Plus, you're contributing positively to the environment by growing and eating locally.

Whether you have a sprawling backyard or a compact balcony, there are gardening solutions for everyone. Explore container gardening or vertical planting if space is limited. There’s always a way to grow your own food, no matter your living situation.

Lastly, consider sharing your harvest with neighbors or local food banks. Not only does this help others, but it strengthens community bonds. In times of crisis, such support networks can be invaluable.

In a world full of uncertainties, being prepared feels good. Prepper garden seeds are your toolkit for tackling tomorrow’s challenges today. Start small, dream big, and watch your garden—and confidence—grow.

Remember to always explore and be open to trying new things with your garden. Nature is full of surprises, and every growing season brings its own lessons and rewards.

If you find yourself struggling, remind yourself why you started. The journey to self-reliance is worth every moment. And hey, everyone makes a few mistakes along the way. That’s part of the process.

Consider keeping a gardening journal to record what works, what doesn’t, and your personal reflections. It serves as both a record of your garden’s growth and your evolution as a gardener.

Share your experiences with friends and family, encouraging them to start their own gardens. Before you know it, your enthusiasm might just start a growing revolution!
