90-Day Food Resilience Plan: How to Build Momentum Fast
A tactical timeline to go from zero to a producing garden in 3 months. Don't get overwhelmed—follow the schedule.
The Clock is Ticking
The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is today. But panic-planting leads to failure.
Here is a simplified 90-day execution plan.
Month 1: Foundation (Current Status: Vulnerable)
- Week 1: Secure your ground. Tarp the lawn to kill grass (occultation) or build raised beds.
- Week 2: Source dirt. Buy bulk compost/soil mix. Don't dig up clay and expect miracles.
- Week 3: Buy seeds. Focus on the Big 5 Calories. Get potato tubers ordered.
- Week 4: Water plan. Install one rain barrel or identify your outdoor spigot strategy.
Month 2: Production (Current Status: Active)
- Week 5: Planting. Potatoes go in. Peas/Beans go in.
- Week 6: Pest defense. Install fencing (deer/rabbits). They are hungry too.
- Week 7: Successional Sowing. Plant a second round of radishes/lettuce for quick wins while waiting for big crops.
- Week 8: Fertilizer. Apply organic fish emulsion or compost tea.
Month 3: Expansion (Current Status: Resilient)
- Week 9: Trellising. Support the climbing beans and tomatoes.
- Week 10: Scout for pests daily. Hand-pick beetles.
- Week 11: First Harvests (radishes, greens). Morale boost.
- Week 12: Plan the Fall Garden. Resilience is a cycle.
