Hey Guys,

I'm just getting going in the whole gardening world, but I'm having a lot of fun with it.

Now I'm brainstorming a true "survival" garden, and I'm wondering--if I had to limit my garden to 4-5 varieties of produce, what would be the most crucial crops for me to grow?

In other words, which crops would give me the "most bang for my buck" in a survival situation? Taking into consideration different vitamins, most calories, storability (canning, drying), multiple uses, etc.

Any ideas from the pros out there?
