Well...... probably not but is the SHTF in the next year we may not be as well fed as I had hoped.
This spring we had a major late ice storm that made the national news big time as it was so wide spread.
Trees were down everywhere and power was out for weeks in some areas.
My garden mostly froze. Even the potatoes and peas that are usually tough.
I had to replant both. I did get some peas this year but not many. I might have 8 or 10 pints in the cellar.
Some of the potato plants survived and I planted a big new patch. The vines just died on the newer patch.
I went out to dig them this morning.
I got a 5 gal bucket of golf ball size and smaller potatoes from the whole patch. Should have been a couple hundred pounds.
Can't figure out what happened. I have never had that happen before. The plants were very healthy and strong.
Good thing we can go to the store and buy potatoes but what if we couldn't?
Many of the plants had nothing. Very strange.
