Good idea . Everyone should grow something that is a high producer, in case things get real bad .
And native plants are usually the most hardy unless you use hybrids and so far we never have.
I got some Poke Salad out of the woods and planted it in my yard, it is growing fast . It's also a pretty plant . I hear you have to boil it once pour off water then boil it again , boil twice to get out toxins . We started out with ' eidble ornamentals' about 3 years ago . We had already planted some ornamentals 'tree' 10 years ealier, they are huge now ,lets us know time flying , so we don't plant anything that says ' slow growing' .
We have been through a few bad storms and lost power for days . So I want to can the food this year , that way if power goes out, we don't lose all the food and hard work from processing it.

Has anyone read anything about it soon becoming against the law to save seeds ? I read it on one of the links on some garden forum .
Also rumored that heirloom seeds are starting to be harder to get because of this rumor .
Now that big corporations are going into 'organics' they are pushing for tighter restrictions of independant farmers . Most seeds in stores now are hydreds .
With the huge joke of biofuel ,[ it takes 2 gallons of gas to make one gallon of biofuel ] going on now the a lot of farmers are switching to bio crops to get in on the profit .
Already shortage on rice, flour and grain is going up up up .
Also we just bought chickens and 2 ducks .

After reading that, you may want to visit heirloomacresseeds dot com
They are a family run farm and they sell seeds that are not genetially modified.
