Now that the weather is warming up, I’d like to personally challenge you all to start a small vegetable garden. There’s no harm in preparing for the local market to completely shut down, and it’s a great opportunity to ever so slightly liberate yourself from the chain of supply.

For those that already have one, please share some tips on what you think is best for beginners to grow and why.

Cannabis Sweet Potatoes.

Weed you can sell, Sweet potatoes grow like weeds and are tasty.

I do have a garden. I grow mostly peppers, and a type of Onion called Egyptian Walking Onion. I live in the SW. So I had to learn to grow food in triple digits. So Im not sure any of my tips would help anyone else.

They would help me. Do sweet potatoes survive the heat? I have failed at regular potatoes.

This guy is in Australia so more Tropical but he grows sweet potatoes like crazy.

I have found plants that do well in sub tropical locations also can do well in the SW US. However a desert is different than a jungle. Heat is no longer the issue but water and humidity is.

I've read about how you can splice tomato plants on potato root systems. Might be to much work, but you could get tomatoes AND potatoes. Two crops three products....
