It took a few days to get the gardens straightened out. We are digging potatoes. It looks like we will have corn and green beans by the 4th of july. The kids are keeping the peas picked clean. ]]> snake35 http://www.SurvivalMagazine.org/survival-forum/entry.php/189-Survival-garden http://www.SurvivalMagazine.org/survival-forum/entry.php/188-Survival-Garden Wed, 06 Jun 2012 17:45:57 GMT After watching "mountainmen" and hearing how many calories per day he needed to maintain his weight. I wonder how many calories per day a person burns gardening. Not as much in our normal garden, but more so in our no gasoline post scenario garden.

I am sure that we are getting a net gain of calories. Our gardens are likely three times bigger then the normal families. This is due to our experimental gardens. ]]> snake35 http://www.SurvivalMagazine.org/survival-forum/entry.php/188-Survival-Garden http://www.SurvivalMagazine.org/survival-forum/entry.php/187-survival-garden Sat, 02 Jun 2012 21:25:49 GMT Planted more sweet corn.

Complemplating doing a bunch of container gardening next year. If so I better increase my composting now. ]]> snake35 http://www.SurvivalMagazine.org/survival-forum/entry.php/187-survival-garden http://www.SurvivalMagazine.org/survival-forum/entry.php/186-Survival-garden Tue, 29 May 2012 21:10:18 GMT We finally got some rain.

Turning the ground up with a shovel was not fun. Everything is going well. We may have to use some bug spray.

I feel that by adding organics the soil will loosen making it easier next year. ]]> snake35 http://www.SurvivalMagazine.org/survival-forum/entry.php/181-Survival-gardening
