Try growing a garden even if it’s in pots. I hate being at their mercy in the winter. I’ll can more and dehydrate and freeze fresh food just to avoid them. I’ll spend my money on seeds, plants and fertilizers. I’ll buy some freezer meats from our farmers.
I don’t have a good sunny spot to do it. I can grow herbs but thats about it. Can also do micros indoors. I can’t wait to have a big garden in the future. I did do a lot of canning this year though. Next year I want to get into milling my own grain and figure out how to store it all for long term.
I understand before some trees died and we bought an adjacent property I was in the same situation. Thank goodness for farmers markets. You might check for a space in a community garden. Last year my son did community service in a couple for the court and the people were so nice. They share their crops and seeds. Very great community.
