Why Survival Seeds Are Crucial

Posted by at 11:49 AM Read our previous post

There is a growing trend of folks who are stocking up canned food and supplies in their homes, because as we continue along, a lot more people are stressed about the economic uncertainty of the U.S.. Along with this we also have a lot of tension culturally, which is frustrating considering that it felt like we've come so far. But when you couple political anger with generalizing of people that's what you get.

Many people, regardless of party are very upset with the politicians who currently hold office, most notably congress and the senate. Everyone worries about the reliability of their social security as one example. People are also concerned about paying more taxes, but most people are willing to do so to get the country back on track so long as there are appropriate cuts in the budget. However considering that we are always faced with the fiscal cliff and no cooperation from both sides of the isle, this only leads to more angst for the American people.

This has led many folks to formulate a plan of survival, just in case they should need it. This is good, and I hope that we won't need it of course. However, what you store in your basement or closets or even under the bed can only last for so long. Imagine that the country could not get itself back on track as quickly as expected. What would you do? could you survive when your supplies vanished? probably not. This is why
survival seeds or heirloom seeds are very important to think about. If you've never gardened before, I would suggest getting a couple of books on the subject matter and immersing yourself in the knowledge. At the very least - pick someone's brain.

It's not difficult to start a vegetable garden using survival seeds, it just requires that you understand when to plant certain vegetables, learn a little about fertilization and keeping deer and rabbits away from your crops.

Heirloom seeds are not expensive in the least, and coupled with a well built root cellar, you could feed your family throughout the year and probably never have to shop in the produce section of your favorite grocery store again. Just imagine that you had a little bit of land to work with and got a pig and/or a calf. Keeping them well fed would mean having plenty of meat to feed several families. Mix this with your own, freshly grown produce and you could live almost completely off budget with food. I'm not saying that this is convenient for everyone given that some people live in urban areas, but the fact that we have such wonderful
options to use is a positive thought.
