Everyone Wants To Be More Self Sufficient. One of the best ways to do that is to grow your own food. But within our commonly cultivated food crops, there are specific plants that rise above the others in terms of self propagation.
In today’s video, we’ll look at the top 5 crops to grow this year to become self sufficient superstars. These crops avoid the laborious flower, pollination, seed process and get straight down to business replicating themselves. This makes them easier to grow and easier to grow lots of them! Enjoy.

Alright, I'm going to give garlic a try this fall. Any other plants that can be started in the fall?
Ok potatoes & green onions for me next. How long till I can harvest a perfect ready potato & a perfect ready green onions?
Re Lettuce
Hi Jeff, Great video! Can I harvest the lettuce a few leaves at a time for salad, and keep the rest of the plant alive and continue harvesting again and again (a few leaves at a time)? If I cut off the whole crown, then it's done and no further harvest is possible, right? Thank you so much, Jeff, THE BEST!
Excellent video and clearly presented. It is very timely. I have learned alot from you! Thank you!
Thanks for the teaching Sir and your little dashing lizard I seen near the end of the video.
Great lizard cameo at the end! I wish sometimes I lived in a lizard zone. Love every single one of your videos. I am growing a TON on veggies this year thanks to you! My carrots in GroBuckets are going GANGBUSTERS!
We have been growing our vegetables and fruit for years. I think they taste much better than in the grocery stores. And being we grow organic plants we know what’s used on them.
I grew potatoes last year for the first time. I was shocked, amazed and excited at all the potatoes we ended up with. We are growing them again this year.
Oh my! I tried growing garlic last year and it died. So I am going to try it again this year. Thank you for your videos
Thanks for the video! It's a great list. I would add Jerusalem artichoke to the list cause its the easiest to grow out of all crops that I know of and the yields are amazing!
Tried garlic and onions again. I'm giving up I think. I thought my garlic should be ready by this time zone 6a. It looks half done. Gonna amp up the water and fertilizer. Onions starts arrived a little late from Dixondale, and are wimpy so far. My tomato seeds were 100% germination and I had to give 20 away. I just crowded some more transplants into my beds and pots. Hope I can figure out which are indeterminate so I can trim them up. I had so many seedlings, the 6 varieties got all confused. LOL My pole and bush beans should be great, with succession planting. I am covering my zukes and summer squash with ag fabric as well as my cabbages. Cabbage starting to curl into heads, and the zukes are about to flower. I will hand pollinate I think.
Stinging nettle spreads by root and seed. It's highly nutritious, but it requires gloves to harvest; and heat to deactivate the sting( which occurs in a dehydrator for storage anyway).
I started growing garlic using the indoor method from one of your videos. They are doing great.
Really enjoyed this video. Enjoyable and informative.
Another great video. I knew you could do it!
Fun video Jeff! I like how you propagate potatoes. I don't know why I am not already regrowing green onions. Easier than seeding them all the time! Thanks for sharing!
You forgot yams (not sweet potatoes but real yams).
Did you crop your bell peppers this year?
Ok I absolutely love your channel. Thank you SO much keep it up!
I love your episodes, thank you for making them!
this is my first year growing garlic and potatoes. my garlic did absolutely amazing and I learned so much! will definitely be planting more in the fall. my potatoes still have about a month and a half left and are literally the easiest thing I've ever grown. this year I did them in grow bags and they take absolutely no attention. I water when I remember (which the majority of my garden is on drip so it often gets forgotten) and they don't even look stressed. we've been above 90s since april so my tomatoes have struggled this season along with cucumbers and beans. but my potatoes and peppers are flourishing! we will see what type of harvest I get out of them at the end of next month and I may potentially still have enough time to start another round before frost hits here the 2nd week in november! I was going to try ginger this year, but with all the new things I'm already attempting in this new state, I figured I would wait for next year for that one!
Garlic and potatoes, easy to grow. You can harvest garlic fresh. Trying this year to space it so that in early spring I can plant other vegetables like lettuce or sugar snaps or pepers or carrots in between. Don't forget beans too. Set a few plants aside for seeds. I had only had one broadbean from old seeds that came up. Kept it for seeds next year.
