I'm erring on precaution, there seems to be a frighteningly growing trend of crop failures. Here's some of my old posts of me attempting to get ahead of the game :)

I definitely agree 100 on the food/water issues becoming more difficult in the coming years. Also I mayhave come off as dismissive towards the whole grand solar minimumthing, but I'm not, just was commenting on just how much info there is out there - often completely contradictory things too. I'm sure you've noticed. Regardless thanks for the reply, I may have to start being more precautious myself... seems like you're not the only one doing so. But theres equally a lot of people oblivious to it all... worst thing that could happen is you grow a green thumb for trying though so may as well. 🙂
At the very least it keeps my mind and body occupied as a 'house-husband' ;)
Plus, it gives me a warm feeling inside when I've managed to nurture something into life.
Much appreciate your reply to,
Robster :)
