Or to more simply put it, kikes forgot Whites will just start farming when the food gets cut off.

That's why they want to genetically alter seeds so they grow plants that can't reproduce so you have to buy more seeds. And if your real plants cross pollinate with their fake plants they sue you.

They also forget white seed autists like myself have massive collections of heirloom seeds for exactly this purpose.

Yep, but there's a problem with that plan. They forgot we're White, we'll just domesticate new plants.
Wild strawberries, wild onions and leeks, cattails, and thistles to name just a few plants that will be easy to domesticate.

42%? Bullshit.

80% of those 42% think that growing thyme on a windowsill counts.

Victory gardens, bro. Beans, squash, and corn for the win.

They are already thinking about laws to stop this.

Growing your own food for your own consumption is interstate commerce. The fed has every right to regulate it.

You probably think I'm kidding. I'm not. Look up Wickard v. Filburn. The SCOTUS says that since growing your own food for your own consumption AFFECTS interstate commerce, it IS interstate commerce. Thus the federal government has every right to tell you what you can grow and consume on your own land. Of course they do.

In my area many younger people have started to garden. The problem is that the gardens are too small to produce much, and most do not can what is not immediately eaten. They simply want some fresh vegetables for a short period of time. Most of what they produce is given away to others. A lot gets thrown away. At least the trend is in the right direction.

Gotta start somewhere.

Maybe a little hardship will be a good thing for people to realize they're far more resourceful than they have been led to believe.

And a "little hardship" is what is coming. Oh, who am I kidding? Major hardship is coming; and yes, those who can find it within themselves will survive and the rest...not so much.

I'm fully planting my 1600 sq ft garden this year and giving it away to neighbors. I don't need it and am doing just fine. It will also be the first time I'm planting to its full capacity. Even at 1/3 capacity, it was more than I could eat before the next summer.

On top of it all, my grapevine (I have three, only one is old enough to produce this year) has so many little baby grape bunches that I stopped counting at 60. There are 5 peach trees, 4 apple trees.

While I'd like to see ALL of it go to my neighbors, I fully expect no one to take anything. And that's fine. I can freeze dry all of it.

Really? If I were closer I'd volunteer to help you with said garden instead of just accepting your charity.

Mid-summer is still a ways away. You might end up this way and weed control on a plot that size even with mulch is still a bitch. Be careful what you wish for.

Holy shit, do I ever. First I freeze dry or juice, then I jam. Or jelly, whichever is a better image in your head. Excess veggies that I can't freeze dry get juiced and depending on what the veggies were, I either make soup stock or imitation V8 and freeze it. The pulp then gets put in sauces, meat loaf, etc. and popped in the freezer. Cucumbers get turned into pickles (plain and bread and butter varieties). I'm not much into canning, I'd rather do something that takes less work overall.

I literally just finished planting 175 (give or take) corn and green beans. Tomorrow it's going to be around 150 snow peas. Sometime later this week, I'll finish transplanting the cucumbers, watermelon, and squash. If the seeds I have potted sprout, I'll have cantaloupe, eggplant, more peppers, and catnip.

I'd imagine a lot more have started in light of recent world events?

If the only food you are growing is fucking sugar. You're not growing food.
Just FYI. Plants are synonymous with sugar
