Do any pre-plant small vegetable, legume, fruit beds in the bush?
Like the story of Johny Appleseed sowing appleseeds in the wilds.
You could plant corn, apples, squash, onions, asparagus, beans etc... in various locations that you may consider a rendez-vous point if the need came to leave your home.
This would be a long term project, would it be feasable?
if the plants you plan to sow are self-sustaining (corn would probably require too much work) and if the plants are pest/disease/weed resistant, then yes, completely feasible. Though I would find a naturally wild edible plant that produces a quantity sufficient for your survival and simply cultivate them within an area. Man-of-the-earth, jerusalem artichokes, cattails, berry bushes, etc.
wouldnt winter kill your crops in canada/alaska? maybe you would just harvest seeds each fall then after winter replant
I don't know why you couldn't do that carcajou. You would need to select heirloom plants or hybrids that are not sterile. Otherwise their seeds will drop to the ground but not germinate. Even annuals like tomatos or green beans will replenish themselves in the spring as long as they are not overpowered by weeds, grass or other naturals. I always seem to have volunteers from the previous season sprout in my spring garden.
Berries and fruit trees should work very well. Select trees that are tolerate for your zone and they should be just fine.
Young cattail, dandelion and purslane make a great salad but an added tomato would be nice, too.
People grow rhubarb a lot in AK and berries grow really good up there. There are some hardy things you can grow. My grandma grows a garden up there.Quote:

Geesh, Snow Girl. He said food. I don't think rhubarb qualifies. I'm not certain raccoons would even eat that stuff.
Rhubarb is awesome. You just dont know it because you never had any of my rhubarb bread lol :D. You can grow some types of melons up there.Quote:

Didn't venture around the rhubarb though. Did see some raccoons pushing some toward the garbage can one day.
I dont think there are raccoons in AK. I didnt grow a garden when I was in Alaska but I seen a few, I just cant remember what was all in them.
J.O.K.E - Joke. Raccoon, rhubarb. See a joke is something that has....oh, never mind.
Oh yea :o sorry lol I get nit-picky.
