The Resilient Gardener - Surviving and Thriving

[@donnaflores50]

I think that Carol Deppe should receive a Nobel Peace Prize.

donna flores YES!!! She is my hero!

The open source seed initiative could save the world from corporate monopoly of seeds, guaranteeing a way out of their control.

Awesome lady. So good to see you back. Blessings.

I aodre this woman´s professional approach to gardening!

Some extremely useful tips including hoarding seed: drying and freezing bought seed (if necessary) to extend seed life. I have a treasured (but unfortunately dog-chewed) copy of Deppe's first book on plant breeding but was unaware of her subsequent books. Great video and an enormously wise and very far-sighted woman! She should be advising Homeland Security on issues of food security. I would suggest that Jerusalem artichokes (sunchokes) are another must-have crop. They're an irrepressible, no-fail crop that can be left in the soil in winter until needed, and while the tuber is not particularly inspiring sunchokes make the tastiest flour I have yet come across.

I am very impressed by the work both of u do. Now more than ever we need to return to nature and learn what many of us have almost forgotten. We are in the process of starting community gardens in South Florida where growing is a true pleasure. Please keep the good work going. Thank you!

Wonderful video! I have one item to contribute to meat eaters. The meat rabbit can be utilized to make a full sustainable circle. I learned what plant based foods will sustain them, if commercial grain is not available. Raised rabbit meat is the lowest in fat. Their manure is fantastic for direct fertilizing. Yes we are experiencing climate change in central New Hampshire. We are also experiencing the beginnings of a draught in June, so I am using drip irrigation in our gardens early. We commercially log and I see Red Maple trees dying at the tops. Not the NH I knew in 1976, when I was 26 ! As 4th generation farmers, we are keeping our eyes open!

Is Carol Deppe still alive?

[@az55544]

I bought one of her books at a yard sale 11 years ago and read it for days one winter. I was off grid and stormed in so i couldn't get to the library to search and see if ahe was still alive. Not only was she, but she'd written a new book. I was psyched.

[@rosierose7863]

She sure doesn't look very healthy, shouldn't she look better with all that whole food She's producing?

[@royruby9]

Rosie Rose she may not be eating only a plant based diet.

As you get older and cannot move around you may experience an inability to move around. Like osteoarthritis which can limit movement. Also she is a writer which could mean she has spent a lot of her time sitting. Also not good for you. I hurt my back a few years ago shifting lots of gravel and now when its cool i find movement limited. Being skinny isnt always healthy either.

[@thomasrobertmalthus7277]

She has written about her struggles with Celiac disease. The whole foods have helped her.

Well, our environment's a toxic medley and the corporate medical establishment is allergic to cures--so there's that.
