The fastest seed that produces something to eat is radish. You can have radish in 21 days.
moringa
Beans, squash, cabbage and Kale are pretty forgiving of the soil.. Id add strawberry plants or berries and a few fruit trees.
Potatoes sweet potatoes you can eat both the leaves and seed pods.
BEETS. you can eat the whole thing including the greens, calorie dense and filling. can be canned, pickled, etc., and you can grow them in a bucket in small spaces. Dandelions, super easy to grow and propagate, only need shallow soil, flavorful greens and the root is a diuretic (little herbalism goes a long way).
Don't forget the wild plants. Dandelions in salads, plantain for healing wounds.So many weeds you can ear just make sure you have a book or cards to go by in case of lose of electricity.elderberry, ginger and turmeric tomatoes and peppersblueberries can be grown in a container.Raspberry are self propagators and blackberry. Strawberry needs a little finessing but can also grow compactly, upwards or downward like your tower. Varieties can be chosen for greater yields. As a Senior, I chose to grow food plants that I can depend on.Remember, the dried corn cobs are nature's toilet paper.nothing beat a good broccoli leave for TPJust not sorghum. I used to combine harvest the red variety and what an itch those little fibres can bring!I would go with non-GMO corn. They're even more versatile, as you can make popcorn, the silk has nutritional value, and the husks once dried can be used for tamales, to weave baskets, and even make little corn husk dolls for the children.And all cast away of corn can be used as fire fuel and starterIf you have the space grow your lentils on the stalks of barley. An historic pairing.
1. Beans (string/ pole)
2. Okra
3. Peas
4. Corn
5. Potatoes ( sweet, white etc)
6. Tomatoes
7. Pumpkin / squash
8. Beets
9. Carrots
Peanuts. Get the raw type in shells. You can often find them in the bird/squirrel food section of a garden store. I made self watering pots for tomatoes. I cut the root end off of onions, slice it up like a pizza and get 8 plants from the one that I made into dinner already.
Garlic and roses get along well together.
We grow sweet potatoes partly because our dogs enjoy them as a nutrient-dense supplement to their diet. Plain pumpkin is good for dogs, too.
