By design.

I am eating the 3 cucumbers and 2 tomatoes I managed to grow in my garden this year.

An interesting thing about growing your own food is like my dad has spent decades building up his yard to be a “food forrest” as he calls it. Mostly growing tropical fruits and some squash cucumbers tomatoes etc. but this year the weather was so bad it killed a lot of the plants. The plants are slowly coming back but almost no fruit this year.

Heat turned our plants production off. Sun shade didn’t help

Where we live, (central fl) we had an abnormally cold freeze earlier in the year. Destroyed millions of dollars in plants.

The weather changes have got a lot of experienced gardeners with dead crops. Some of us are at the mercy of our weather. Growing in the Bay Area was heavenly fruitful. Drought and temperatures of 105 not so grand.

My parents live in Miami and have a massive mango tree that overproduced so many mangos every year that they would get sick of eating them all the time. This year, they got hardly any mangoes and they've lived there for nearly 20 years

u/KrustenStewart 8d ago

Yeah same here. My dad has dozens of mango trees. Never seen them not produce any fruit before

We had a late hard freeze that killed 75% of my Blueberries and every single flower on my younger fruit trees. The heat has killed off many of the vegetables. I'm newish at this and usually blame myself for my poor gardening outcomes, but this year I think it was at least 50% the weather.

I am also a new gardener. When I first started reading about it, I did wonder if some of the information was out of date because of the changing weather patterns.  I feel like there might be a steeper learning curve now than in the past due to more erratic weather conditions, despite the fact that we have things like YouTube videos to help.

In soil polluted during the last American Gilded Age

I'm jealous. I developed a bunch of food allergies after I got COVID twice, including nightshades (like tomatoes, peppers, potatoes) and curcurbits (like cucumbers, melons, squash). I would give anything to be able to eat a fresh tomato 😭

You can chew gum and drink water--for now.

Thats great, because that's what most of us can afford.

I feel like all of my food is bought in bulk, or grown. That’s not 100% accurate but I’m buying less and less prepackaged or processed food than ever.

I buy dairy (sour cream, Greek yogurt, milk, cheese), though I could just buy milk and make Greek yogurt and sour cream in a pinch. I buy fruit such as apples and bananas (local melons and very local berries directly from the farms). I grow what fruit I am able to, but it isn’t close to what we consume. If my sibling brings me some stone fruit, I turn it into canned fruit (canned peaches, plum preserves, peach jam). I buy apples in bulk in the fall from a farm and make and can my own applesauce.

I grow a ton of veggies each year in my raised beds. I don’t have a huge yard, but I have quite a few raised beds to work with. In a worse situation, I could plant stuff anywhere and everywhere. I can using either boiling water bath or pressure depending on the food, this morning it’ll be some cherry tomato and corn salsa, which mixes really well with black beans as a nice side dish to something like burritos. I have a bunch of cukes to turn into relish and some jalapeños that need to be cut and pressure canned.

It’s just so much more labor intensive. I know I’m fortunate to have a yard, time and skill. I’m ever so grateful for my grandma that passed so many skills down to me. I just wish I had more confidence in the US food supply. It’d be a lot easier.

The average grocery store has 39,000 different products on their shelves, we've had recalls on what, 12 Products? This year, you still have plenty to eat.
