This is unironically me. I sadly did the math on how long we can survive on my vegetable garden. Spoiler: not long!

    Even potatoes don't have all that many calories.

    If you WERE to try to prep your way to sustainable. you're going to have to buy/store starches in bulk and use the garden +canning for nutrients.

    Yeah, I did think about how to make it in any way viable as just a mental exercise and came to a similar conclusion. If I didn't enjoy getting my own veggies and fruits I'd probably just stop. I mostly started because I love very spicy peppers and was unable to even buy them most of the time. I eventually started growing all sorts of things of course, you can't survive on superhot pepper pods for long, and if you could, you may not want to.

    It's not about just literally surviving off of them; it's about spicing up life during the apocalypse! Your peppers could become very valuable trading commodities! Keep up the good work.
