"The greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If only 10% of us do this, there is enough for everyone."
-Bill Mollison (A Permaculture: A Designers Manual)
“The tragic reality is that very few sustainable systems are designed or applied by those who hold power, and the reason for this is obvious and simple: to let people arrange their own food, energy and shelter is to lose economic and political control over them. We should cease to look to power structures, hierarchical systems, or governments to help us, and devise ways to help ourselves.”
-Bill Mollison (Permaculture: A Designers' Manual)
These quotes aren't JUST about food. Do you knit, sew, repair engines, electronics or bicycles; bake or build? Do you code or design operating systems? …..The list goes on.
All of these skills can be shared cheaplyfreely, to supply ALL our needs.
Time for Victory Gardens Again?
"According to archived USDA fact sheets, there were more than 20 million victory gardens in 1943, which produced 10 billion pounds of food. In 1944, gardens provided around 40 percent of the U.S. vegetable supply. Tomatoes led the list in popularity, followed by string or wax beans, onions, lettuce, radishes, beets, and carrots. Two-thirds of the gardens were in towns, cities, and suburban areas."
I wish I had that flower in the orchard my garden😊🪻🐝It's always good to listen to and learn from someone who's an expert in gardening. You and another YouTuber encouraged me to continue growing vegetables and fruit trees. I needed a little push. Thank you, and I appreciate for how you explain things in your videos and the patience you have. I admire you because you've stayed on the channel until now. You've grown as a person. With all due respect, I love seeing you. Your haircut has changed; I liked how you had it three years ago. Beautiful! Greetings to everyone per there; you're a great family. Congratulations! Keep up the great followship Richards.I loved all your books, but they're not in Latin American Spanish.🙃
it's also invasive outside eastern asia…I would never add a non-indigenous plant in my garden because it's just not worth it, not for me and the situation will create in my garden (invasive plants are no joke) and out of respect for nature in general. We have such easy access at our fingertips, there's really no excuse disrespecting mother nature by choosing to sowing plants that don't belong there
Hi Huw, Check out 'Gary's Garden' vlog, How the Armish grow peas, It has footage from one of your videos about growing peas! I thought you should know. I love all your videos. Thanks

Lovely. How hardy is it?
