crisis vegetables

[brambonius]

I was wondering, just in case the world escalates: if there's a big crisis, and you need to grow food fast, what vegetables would you grow?

I'm not only thinking about regular vegetables, nettle fields or so could also be interesting...

(I know you have other plants in the USA than we have in europe, so you have maybe things I don't know of?)

dandelions are a very healthy food that grows like crazy...and hemp. In my opinion, it is great to educate yourself on edible plants that are growing wild in your area (for example, plants that most people call "weeds"). I live in the middle of a city and as I walk through the alleys I find edible stuff all the time!

Have you heard of Jerusalem Artichokes? They spread prolifically and provide a lot of calories for the space they take to grow. The edible portion of the pants is the roots, which are tubers.
