    We have a years worth and are somewhere in for a second year I need to inventory again I try to do it once a month but its been 2 months since I last did.

    I have been testing the last few years what I can grow in the house and greenhouse through winter its not much because we dont have a heat source for the greenhouse it is a goal to work out over this winter. I can keep lettuce, spinach and carrots for sure until February and then it is too cold so I have to take a break for a month. We have seeds for several years plus this summer I started seed saving. We are extending our 35×45 garden this year. So it should be 45×45 now. Our fruit trees are still 1-3 years from providing fruit but we have them and are adding a few more.

    We also have fertilizer as well as animal manure because we have rabbits and chickens.

    Water is a main concern for us, we have a 10K gallon pool and a hot tub both we only use bleach as our chemicals. We have a rain barrel for the aninals and then a couple of barrels incase we need to collect rain. Also we have a couple of ways to filter water but as far as having a substantial amount of fresh drinking water stored up we do not.
