I thought the potential water problems in the west had to due with the draining of large underground water aquifers that are being slowly depleted?

We actually use above ground reservoirs for the most part in California. This article: http://www.ens-newswire.com/ens/feb2...-02-27-093.asp also points out that water from the delta has been cut to two thirds of the State to protect the Delta Smelt.

Be very careful not to name your garden a bailout garden. If you do, the govt will be on your doorstep wanting over half of it to distribute to a percentage of the population that is too sorry to work and the rest will go to the garden executives already making exorborant salaries!

We had to name our garden when we first began selling produce at a Farmer's Market.

We live in Argyle Maine, so our garden is 'Argyle Acres'.

I have several gardens and call them different names. There's the kitchen garden, the herb garden, the volunteer garden, the hidden garden, and the field garden. All combined they are the survival gardens.

Love it! Someone mentioned "I cashed in my 401K and all I got was these seeds...". Made me think of Jack & the Beanstalk straight off. I really need to get out more.

Homestead garden or Freedom garden---Personally, I avoid the use of the word "survival."
