Best Vegetables to Grow for Your Survival Garden

HOMESTEAD HOW-TO

Potatoes

A strong stream of water can help dislodge spider mites from your plants. Rinse the leaves thoroughly in the sink or shower, making sure to get the undersides where mites tend to hide.

Jerusalem Artichoke (Sunchoke)

They thrive in poor soil, require minimal maintenance, and spread easily, making them a reliable and sustainable food source for your survival garden.

Carrots

Carrots are a cool-season crop that can be planted in spring and late summer. They are crunchy, sweet, and highly nutritious.

Garlic

Grown for its culinary and medicinal uses, garlic is an essential perennial vegetable for your homestead garden. It’s relatively easy to grow and can be used at various stages of its growth.

Onions

Onions, a staple in global cuisines, can be grown from seeds, transplants, or sets (small bulbs). While easy to grow, the initial planting requires effort.

Beets

The entire plant is edible. It makes a great addition to a salad or roasted to perfection. Plant them in well-draining soil with regular watering.
