Review & Description

The USDA recommendation for an average 140lb adult is a minimum of 50 grams of protein per day.
Without sufficient protein the body will consume its own muscle mass to meet protein needs.

Many common gardening plants are very low in protein and require consumption of a huge volume to meet 50g. A select few vegetables (beans, peas and broccoli) are high in protein which allow you to meet 50g easily, and should be the focus of your preparations.

In order to get 50g daily protein from each food source you would have to eat...
38 beets or
70 carrots or
26 cucumbers or
49 peppers or
73 radishes or
------here's where it gets interesting------
1.2 cups of black beans!
or 6 cups of peas!
or 3 bunches of broccoli!
(Sources: USDA recommendations; USDA food database.)

Why not hunt meat for protein in a survival scenario?... Because the other 44+ million gun owners in America will most likely have the same plan. So what long term protein source can you rely upon? Your Garden!

Seeds in this kit:
Green Bean Bountiful (>50)
Green Bean Burpee's Stringless (>50)
Purple Bean Royalty Purple Pod (>50)
Black Bean Black Valentine (>50)
Brown Bean Turkey Craw (>50)
Brown Bean Painted Pony (>50)
Broccoli Calabrese (>2000)
Broccoli Waltham 29 (>2000)
Pea Green Arrow (>50)
Pea Little Marvel (>50)

Please note:
Based on availability and germination screening one of the ten seeds may be substituted for the same vegetable (bean for bean, etc).
The mylar bag will contain air, which the seeds need to survive.
Planting/Growing directions are included in the sealed mylar bag. Read more

Lavender Fields of America, a New Crop of American Farmers (Hardcover)

Lavender Fields of America, a New Crop of American Farmers
Lavender Fields of America, a New Crop of American Farmers (Hardcover)
By Rebecca Rosenberg

Review & Description

LAVENDER FARMS OF AMERICA - A New Crop of American Farmer, is a stunning pictoral look at the modern, yet ancient, phenomenon of lavender, and the enterprising American farmers who have taken up its call. One no longer has to travel to Provence to experience the majesty of lavender fields in full bloom. Three hundred American farmers have planted fields of lavender from Hawaii to the East Coast. Each distinctive lavender farm is influenced by the farmers who plant them and the land in which they grow. One might think that lavender fields are quite similar, but the settings, types of plants, and characteristics of the farms vary as much as Americans do. Each farm is a thumbprint, germinating from each farmer's background, personal style, and point-of view. Yet, the farmers have all gravitated to the beneficial lavender plant, dedicating their lives to its cultivation, and to the production of lavender products. Their lavender products have practical uses: relaxation, pain relief, insect repellant, air freshener, antiseptic, and more. From harsh winters to draught to rocky soil, these farmers face challenges with the land. They struggle, sometimes fail, and then persevere in planting the right lavender cultivars and perfecting methods of planting and maintenance. Hundreds of photographs of American lavender fields.
