Are dented cans a concern? I thought it just meant someone dropped them

What do you mean by locked down? I visit family in Canada annually so I'm curious.

It's better to backfill with the soil you dug out. If you fill in with different soil then it could make the hole you dug into a hard boundary that roots won't try to grow through.

If only people didn't need to commute to an office 3-5 days a week! Gee, if only that was proven to work at scale for multiple years!

I feel like you just avoided the subject. If everyone fully relies on someone elses agriculture for all their calories then that's putting all your eggs in one basket for an emergency. A farmer suddenly getting a thousand volunteers doesn't increase the number of potatoes ready for harvest.

Sunchokes are a suggestion because they are perennial, store in the ground, and require no care so long as they are contained.

Something like potatoes would be great for more people if they were perennial and hands off.

If you have land it wouldn't hurt to have some survival crops. Something like sunchokes (a.k.a. jerusalem artichokes, bad name because they're not an artichoke and more like a sunflower) can grow well in a sectioned off space where they can't spread. In an emergency the tubers can be dug up and cooked, though they'll probably give you a lot of gas from the high inulin content.

Personally I love raspberries and black raspberries, which are easy to grow just don't plant them where they can spread and run wild. It's nice to have fresh berries!

That would result in tons of exploitable security vulnerabilities

 

For my fellow US Mid-Atlantic gardeners, what and when do you start prepping for the growing season?

For annuals I'm curious what you feel is worth growing from seed and when do you start it?

For perennials I'd like to know what if anything you do mid to late winter.

As for myself I plan to take some cuttings of elderberry and root them indoors. Hoping I can plant them by spring. In later February I plan to prune a peach tree and then attempt my first ever graft using the pruning.
