Solarpunk Action Week Day 6:
Today, like many other people as far as I observed, stocked up on things for home. Not too much, though. Just enough to last us a few weeks. It was so odd and stressful seeing so many store shelves empty of things that are considered basic. (Toilet paper? Seriously? What are they going to do, wipe the virus away?) Tip: Bread doesn’t last as long as you think. Buy things like oil, flour, and yeast to make the bread. They last much longer. I recommendbloomingnova ’s bread recipe. Flour is also useful for making survival food like hardtack that can last up to fifty years! Both are a great activity to do for Solarpunk Action Week.
Anyway, I figured that I should speed up my plans, so I planted more seeds in my garden. I already have a pit of homemade compost to give it a boost. Hopefully it is enough to start another garden bed. I recommend quicker growing plants such as spinach, lettuce, and radishes. Herbs are also fantastic as they can be used as seasoning as well as medicine (Important: Herbs are not an alternative to professional medical advice!!). These are also great for beginner gardeners! Find out what zone you live in and what plants love your climate. Trust me, just buying whatever sounds good isn’t a great way to start and is a waste of time. Stick to what is capable of growing where you live.
