Survival gardens contain crops that sustain you during challenging periods (whatever that challenge may be). The goal is to grow <strong>nutrient-dense food at minimal cost.<\/strong> Gardening itself also offers the additional benefits of exercise, improved mood, and, of course, enjoyment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good survival garden crop should be nutrient-rich to cover your basic dietary needs while providing sufficient calories for energy. Another valuable characteristic to look out for is good storage potential or preservation options that extend their usefulness beyond the growing season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even with limited space, like a balcony or patio, you can<strong> start a productive survival garden. <\/strong>The following crops are staples you can plant this March to support you and your family in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n

Proper storage in cool, dry conditions ensures they&#8217;ll last for months in your kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When starting from seed, different varieties have specific requirements. But as a general rule, bulb onions should be planted indoors 10 to 12 weeks before your region&#8217;s last frost date. This March timing sets you up perfectly for plenty of survival garden crops later in the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"Tomatoes\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tomatoes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/proxy-botanicalinterestscom.epicgardening.com\/community\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/tomatoes-late-season-harvesting-and-storage-techniques.jpg\" alt=\"Close-up of a gardener's hands holding freshly picked cherry tomatoes with round, bright red, shiny skin against a backdrop of lush green foliage.\" class=\"wp-image-857\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.botanicalinterests.com\/community\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/tomatoes-late-season-harvesting-and-storage-techniques.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.botanicalinterests.com\/community\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/tomatoes-late-season-harvesting-and-storage-techniques-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.botanicalinterests.com\/community\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/tomatoes-late-season-harvesting-and-storage-techniques-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.botanicalinterests.com\/community\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/tomatoes-late-season-harvesting-and-storage-techniques-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.botanicalinterests.com\/community\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/tomatoes-late-season-harvesting-and-storage-techniques-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.botanicalinterests.com\/community\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/tomatoes-late-season-harvesting-and-storage-techniques-920x518.jpg 920w, https:\/\/www.botanicalinterests.com\/community\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/tomatoes-late-season-harvesting-and-storage-techniques-414x233.jpg 414w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> Tomato preservation options abound.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>No survival garden would be complete without tomatoes.

Freeze peppers whole for later use in soups and stews, or dry and grind them into homemade chili powder for long-lasting seasoning.

When you&#8217;re eating the same vegetables repeatedly, boredom can quickly set in, and that&#8217;s where <strong>herbs become invaluable.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another benefit of growing herbs is their ease of growth. The leaves can be dried and ground into long-lasting spices for year-round use, extending their value far beyond the growing season. March is a great time to plant versatile herbs like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicalinterests.com\/products\/moss-curled-organic-parsley-seeds\">parsley<\/a>, sage, rosemary, basil, and oregano. Check the specific requirements on your seed packets for exact planting timing, and know your region&#8217;s last frost date to determine whether direct outdoor sowing or indoor starting makes more sense for March in your climate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you want to become more self-sufficient, a survival garden is essential.
