Upon inspection yesterday, I found that caterpillars had invaded my heirloom tomatoes, so a little 'net research later, and this morning, I sprayed my plants with a concoction of water, dishwashing liquid, and cayenne pepper. I've a link on the left hand side of my weblog to a site dedicated to providing Heirloom seeds and seed stock; both of which are important considerations to any serious prepper and self-sustainment preparations, because unlike Hybrid seeds and their resulting seed stock, heirlooms are MEANT to produce valid germinable seeds every year. Hybrid, and/or genetically 'enhanced' seedstock and plants do not germinate/propogate very well, at least, not as well as Heirloom seeds/seedlings because of their genetic alternation. If you're serious about prepping, NOW is the time to consider growing your own "Sustainment Garden". Take a look at my sustainment blog for pictures of how well my own sustainment garden is growning. In addition, I've rebuffed the mainstream, and have started an
Asparagus Patch as well, which contrary to internet opinion, is doing very well...
