Wish I could say I had a garden. We are in a bad drought here in W Texas. But I do have a good stock of nonperishable items.

Our garden is not doing much either this year. Tomatoes have stopped putting on new fruit and everything else is just sitting there. Jalapeno peppers are the only thing producing a decent crop this year.

You can still grow food in containers. There were two kids that invented a VERY SIMPLE system with the use of a small piece of pvc pipe and two buckets to grow a single plant, that requires very little water. I’d have to find the info, but unless you have buckets, or access to them, it would cost about $5 per plant in materials. It may or may not be worth your investment.

Might want to think about a place with better rain water.

If TSHTF, being in a semi arid place like West Texas will be pretty hard.
