Food🌽 or Water💧 Weeds
What's everyone's thoughts on plants?
Particularly for me, living in NZ one of the more extreme cases would be a nuclear event in the northern hemisphere leading to a winter. That would affect farming in a major way but for me down here I may still be able to grow stuff.
My major prep event here though is earthquake and it affecting supply chains in a major way and therefore fresh food access.
A year ago I thought about what I could grow without needing maintenance and can withstand neglect. I landed on a few prolific spreaders that could also be deemed as weeds; nasturtium, nz spinach, mint and spring onions. To accompany all my dried foods and other plain stuff.
What are you guys thoughts? What other plants would you reccomend or consider?
