Why Survival Garden?

Growing your own survival garden is a way of life and one way to combat the recession, add to your food storage, be prepared, live frugal, and survive hard times. It is also a calming and rewarding experience.

I call it the Survival Garden in the spirit of the World War 2 Victory Garden which was encouraged by the US government during the hard times of the war. Although today's US government has not campaigned for its citizens to become more self sufficient, common sense should tell us to learn how to be as self sufficient as possible and to implement a plan to suit your skills. --- continued at link, above ---

Most commercially available seeds have been selected and bred for easy use. In late winter or early spring, you put them in soil, give them water and some light, and you get new plants. By starting from seed, you can grow many plants that are not readily available in garden centers.

With just a little more planning and a few extra steps, there are even more plants you can start from seed. This glossary will introduce some terms and treatments — or clarify those you might have read on Houzz — to get you started with seeds from temperate plants. ---CONTINUED---

Why Your Seeds Aren’t Germinating
