- It has begun. What? Food shortages, failed crops, and weather anomalies. Not everywhere is having issues, but places all over the globe which will affect you. It has begun.

Though my garden is doing fairly well, I have seen things over the past few years that normally do great for me that are struggling. My raspberries started growing well this year like they normally do and then suddenly up and died.
If people are allowing what they fear others will think to stand in the way of doing what they know is right, they need to set aside their pride and just do it. Down the road they will be glad they did.
Rain Country You are so right Heidi. Thanks
Thanks for the video. I think a lot of people are thinking along the same lines.
Good talk, Danny! Even on a limited income; Even in an urban situation, there are things one can do to prepare for the coming hard times. I'm amazed at some of my friends who have not done one thing to prepare. They buy prepared foods full of preservatives, convenience foods, and things that have very little nutritional value and whine that they're too tired from working to cook. Most have no canning equipment, dehydrators or vacu-sealers, and only the small freezers attached to their refrigerators. If they're lucky, they might have enough canned/packaged stuff to last about a month. They think I'm crazy for baking my own bread, making cheese, making jerky and granola bars, keeping chickens in my back yard and letting them destroy my lawn back there, and "wasting time" planting vegetables when they are plentiful in the stores. They have no idea how much food I've been able to can from my garden, nor do they know that I can store eggs. The money I save on groceries goes to the equipment and supplies I need to grow and preserve more of my own food. None of them have seen my pantry or other stores. I have encouraged people I know to prepare and to learn how to garden, can, and preserve. Some of them comment that "when the world goes to Hell, I'm coming to stay with you." No. They're not.
Carol Avant Wow u know ive had people make that comment, " Im coming to stay w u if SHTF!" I believe in sharing however i didnt work so u could play and now u can just rest easy from my efforts and expense😬. Loved ones and family i "try" to prep for other than who's in my home, lazy "friends" well thats another issue. Sweat equity comes to mind, but even in a food crisis theres simply not enuf to go around.
andria blue - my feelings exactly!
andria blue, I'm sorry but I would have to include lazy family members too. If I have only two, I will give one to my wife and the other for myself. I know it sounds selfish and all; but, my family members know that I have been preparing for an emergency and they did nothing to help themselves or me. So why should they be helped now by me? The ant and the grasshopper fable. :-(
That's the problem with deception...its so deceiving. They don't realize they r deceived.
When someone says that to me, I’ve resorted to asking them to give me something right then…money, food, whatever, and when they refuse I say “Then why would you take from me when it’s all I would have?”
Danny I hate to say this because it just let's me know the reality of the situation. Some of the comments I see people leave reminds me of the people laughing at Noah when he was building the ark. I just hate the thought of when all this really hits.
Comeaux Creek Homestead Im seeing the same thing.

First year gardening. What a year to start! It has been dicouraging, but I am going to try again with a fall garden.
Danny, I planted 3 different types of green beans that normally thrive here. Didn't get enough for one meal. I am replanting now and I think I will get some with the cooler fall garden. But the heat in Missouri was awful. No one got many beans here.
Yes. My garden is a big let down this year. Only thing I have canned is strawberry jam and the strawberries came from the farmers market. No matter what I did to the garden it dried up or taste so bitter. No beans, no peas, no yellow squash, and no scalloped squash. I have some tomatoes growing but they are tiny. The sweet corn is only a foot tall due to drought. I'm going to have t go to the farmers market to see if I can buy things to can.
Wow….I’m watching this 4 years after you recorded. I am STUNNED by your accuracy. You called it, Danny. My respect and gratitude to you, sir.
We need to send you down some of the rain we have had this year. Our garden has done great this year. And I agree with you on food stock up people.
Hey Ed, love your channel and glad to hear you have had success this year with your crops. It's been a struggle here for me in Kentucky.
Thank you the weather has gone crazy around the world food is going to be a very big thing. I hope it gets better for your crops.
Danny we need to let our land rest every seven years for Jubilee. So I am adding planters and planting in new spots to get ready to let the main garden rest
Been a rough gardening year. Yields are down, but grateful for what I have managed to grow/can. Weather was just and is still just so crazy this year!
Same here in western Kentucky, we had three different issues that caused our garden to do poorly. We got a little of each thing but not a lot and replanted but by then it was too hot. Now we are just hoping for a decent fall crop.
Same here in Bowling Green. I replanted once and had minimal success. 3 cucumbers and no beans and no squash. decent crop with tomatoes and hot peppers.
I'm working on growing as much as i can in a small yard. As well as growing a garden at my grandparents house. I'm also making a rabbit hutch and quail cage system soon to start raising both in the spring this coming year.
so smart...thank you for reminding us that it can be on a small scale. ;)
That’s good but it important to put away the things that are in danger of becoming very slim and expensive when you can get it like flours, cornmeal, Rice’s, potatoes, beans, lentils, any kinda fruit you get.
Versoal Malone definitely putting up oats and bean while I can, but as I'm gluten intolerant and allergic to rice some of those staple long term storage foods won't be good for me. Growing berries and fruit are on my list of things to do.
Dark Age Growing try quinoa & buckwheat ( not wheat actually a seed).
I agree we should be preparing. Yes I have people even in my own faimley who tell me i'm crazy. But when it comes down to it who do you think they will want to come to for food.
Living Miracle Homestead : Most of my family think I am crazy every time I say anything about canning , and storing foods , but if , and when the time comes I want my kids , and grand kids to have food ,and water .
Donna, I have the same feelings. I taught my daughter-in-law to can back in may. Now she is venturing out on her own. I feel like if I can rotate what I eat we will have good food and I know what is in it. I had my first canning with my mom this week. We had a lot of fun. I live in Florida and with the constant threat of huricains you can't have enough food ready to eat.
Great Video Danny! Things are getting more and more sketchy out there for sure. Not just with our gardening but with mankind. It is interesting how things seem to go hand in hand. Thanks for being willing to tell what you see coming, Do y'all have communications prepped?
Love the “straight talk”! Thank you for sharing! We have been trying to prepare for a little while now but we are seeing it all around us! Stuff dying, bugs, lack of rain for farmers, etc
you are so right about the part of don't worry about what people think. I try to soak up all of the information you give. Thank you for your blunt honesty.
Thanks for thé info. It’s nice to listen to people from other regions. It is full of info and nice people who generously share their knowledge. God bless.
Thank you so very much for sharing your wisdom with us. Blessings to you and Ms Wanda
Garden like your life depends on it.. an awesome quote from homesteader Danny.... has to go beyond gardening now.. god bless you Deep South homesteading
Mr. Danny same with my garden I cannot grow this year like I have in the last few years and I keep wondering why. I'm doing the same exact thing. But it's becoming very very clear. Thank you for your wisdom
Everything's going to be alright!
Daniel Read : it will be alright if you are prepared to take care of yourself. Stock up food for bad years and grow as much as you can in the good years.
Thank you Danny for sharing everything with us. God bless!
Thank you for your information!
I watched Annie's video before this came out this morning.Keep trusting God people.Thats going to be the only way to survive and the most important thing.
I really appreciate your porch time videos. Thank you.
Thank u Danny!! So appreciate the way God continues to speak thru you!! Prayers for y'all and the rest of us. May God continue to give us wisdom n discernment in these days ahead. God bless!
Thanks Danny. I appreciate the video.
Thank you Danny.
Thank you Danny and God Bless!
Danny, Thank You, Thank You.... Keep this going
So true ,Thank you Mr.Danny ,God Bless
Thank You.
thank you Danny
Can't thank you enough. I thought my veg garden failures we my fault. I had so little there was not enough to can, freeze, dehy. This makes me want to work even harder to collect seeds....winter garden and prepare for next spring. God help us. and God bless you and yours
Your so right Danny I see a big change in the ground and weather! It was a sad year for my garden! I listen to your videos on the weather and solar problems! I'm seed saving to! I don't know what system to use! Thanks for what you do Danny! I listen very intently to what your saying! This bothers me to!
Danny my son was tell me this week that it was against the law to caught rain water where he lives now! I was shocked He's only a couple of hours away!
Annie Farmer is he in Colorado? Just curious i remember a few yrs ago they made rain catchment illegal 😲 thats heinous!
Thats starting to happen in a lot of places now.
THANK YOU DANNY...THE TRUTH THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH!!!
This year has been very different here in SW PA. The dry beans I grow for soup are only now starting to flower and put out tiny beans. Last year I was picking fully mature dry beans by the end of August. I planted them the same time as last year... 3rd weekend in May. I am hoping they will be ready before frost this year.
So true Danny...Here in Australia too like you said.
Canning is so vital.
Its coming into Spring here so we have to get as much in like you always do before these things occur.
Yes...Urban and small children will be hit hard.
Thanks, Danny
Message received Danny. Thank you. Hopefully more people will start to pay attention. In the mean time I'm doing all I can while I can. I appreciate your talks. It's ok if they're serious. Folks need to hear this serious stuff. Preach on my friend. - All the best. ~ Theresa
add Georgia peaches and blueberries to your noted crop failures this year, and peaches last year too
my garden this year in SE TN has been almost a total loss from too much rain, heat and humidity
Subbed. Found you from a comment in the comment thread on Prepper Nurse One channel. I am in Western NC.
susan529 Thanks for subbing Susan i hope we can be a blessing to you.
I’ve struggled in KY too. Floods..them extreme hot temps and no rain. Did not can this year either.
Hi Danny! So true about the hybrids. I planted fifteen types of tomatoes, mostly heirlooms. Other than cherry tomatoes, the only full size tomatoes that are producing are the Solar Fire. We've suffered through high temps and mega amounts of rain. Vine plants failed horribly this year, squash and sweet potatoes. White potatoes failed. Corn failed. Marigolds even suffered this year. Had enough green beans and Yukon golds for one meal. Using my canning jars to can meat when I find it at a good price. We so appreciate everything thing that you are doing for us all!
I'm new to gardening. Im suburban northeast. Started gardening 4 years ago. This year is the biggest garden fail for our family. I did not even get 1 tomato which I usually have a ton of.
I have learned to take it one day at a time...it seems to work. God bless!
I am praising God for what I have. I tried to raise a garden since I retired. Spent more on supplies and seeds than I have gotten in yield. It has been a good learning experience. Seeing how experienced farmers are suffering I realize I was just having a rough time too.
When we were kids Mama would give us a bag of beans to plant and they would grow and produce. This year the plants would look good and then die.
Thank you for posting.
I had similar happen with peppers. We're making a hoop house to put up over them to lengthen our season. Not sure if we have the time but we'll see. Broccoli took a long time to grow then the heat effected it. I bought a hybrid broccoli to go for a fall garden and maybe we'll get enough. Greens always do well. Zucchini and cucumbers went to bugs. I replanted zucchini in buckets on porch to watch closely and maybe put under cover. Two ripe tomatoes. We'll try covering them too.
Western Pennsylvania.
Thank you
In northwest Arkansas and we had hail bigger than baseballs here! Two weeks ago. Lots of damage. Was just egg yolks at my house thankfully. Was crazy.
I set out 300 tomato plants this spring and then started the battle with the bugs. Half of my plants were eaten in 1 night. I have only gotten about 3 buckets of tomatoes. I went to the u-pick. And I got another round of seeds starting now. I am pushing myself and my family to get the greenhouse ready to plant them in. That was 100 plants per bucket of tomatoes
I was blessed with one of the best garden seasons I've ever had . Danny you bring the bible whenever you get ready thats one of the reasons we love y'all God bless
Youve had my head and heart since i first saw ur video about colloidal silver w Wanda, then ur other video to expand on that showing us the colloidal machine set up. That info is PRICELESS my husband and I have been captivated ever since, even my kids say, " R u watchin Danny & Wanda"? Yes lovey I AM 🤗💙 OAG helped me out I followed his advice on using Oregano EO. It helped me get over a nasty respiratory infection i got from mold/mildew spores from working w composting moldy mulch.
Maybe in Canada somewhere but it in the part where I live! We have crickets but not the same sound. Thanks for the info. I will look that up on the internet.
thank you
Thankyou .i live in s.cen. iowa 2 yrs now garden not growing .grapes dried up blackberries dried up.apple tree dieing .might get pears though.God bless n watch as he commanded.
..sorry to hear your harvest was not well this year..
here in the northeast US we have been blessed with bounty..provider green beans 13 quarts canned eating fresh at table each night..tomatoes look like it will be great harvest..I am using mostly heirlooms ..have pumpkins growing wild out of the compost pile..just harvested plenty of healthy potatoes. I am picking local seasonally fruit harvests and putting everything up for the coming months..
blessings
My Contender beans, ditto. I am experiencing plants come up and stop growing, even lettuce. . . Japanese Beetles have been terrible. Have lived in this area for sixteen years and have never experienced before. My morning coffee is spent watching Oppenheimer Ranch Project, Ice Age Farmer and Adapt 2030. Been tuning into your channel the last few months. Trying the Back to Eden method this year. will add more mulch this fall. Also adding small hoop houses this fall to extend harvest and grow cold crops. Things are changing fast, and it's time to rethink personal food production.
New sub here, just want to say good job on this vid. we haf a serious garden failure here in Texas this year just as you mentioned others have had, we couldnt even maintain a small garden, we got very little from our efforts. God Bless and keep up the good work brother.
mapbike Thanks
Good talk
Danny it has started here in michgan . I just watch the news tonight. Chanel 7 wxyz Detroit. Farmers in Michigan are having a hard time growing food here in Michigan because of the weather. I tell my family to listen to you yes it's happening already. Take care God Bless.
This is so true and thanks for all you do and may God bless you and yours, time is at hand and people needs to wake up before its to late!
Same thing here in Indiana Danny. I have friends that their Gardens were a complete loss, myself included. It was either too much rain or not enough. I raise bees and I come home one day and thought that might be is had swarmed, but it was Japanese beetles. What the heck
I appreciate your honesty. I’ve sensed things changing in the weather. I’ve studied weather modification for some time now. I believe they have done more harm then good.
Hi Danny, I live in Washington state and and having the same issues had to replant beans 3 times plus cucumbers not going good.
My beans too! and I'm in Nebraska, beans and potatoes doing poorly. Peppers ok, only two squash survived. Replant beans and the bugs.... So I was offered free corn and yes sir I took it and canned for two days. I am headed back on Thursday for more to dry. I have done food storage for several years and I have felt the urge as well to amp it up. Thank you for reassuring me.
Danny could you make a list of plants you plan on growing next year. For instance like the ones that you are Hardy that will grow in extremes that we have now I'm getting ready to put in order for next year for plant seeds thank you for your good work I truly appreciate it and I know God will bless you for what you are doing thank you again God bless
May God bless you dear folks, and your family, Danny. : )
Good porch time!
Are things dying in the forested areas? If not, then mimic that situation. Nobody tills the forest,;the leaves and limbs fall and rot creating a think organic layer. I know you've tried the wood chips but was it deep enough? I don't have the answer for your situation but it sounds like you may have to modify the way you go about it. The peppers I planted from seed are doing Way better in shade than in partial sun. None of them are in full sun as the package suggest. Think and do things outside the box. Good luck Brother.
Just Plain Common Sense, I'm container gardening this year & I've had to move almost all the containers to partial shade. I have things on the north side of the house because the heat & dryness was just baking them. Even our farmer's market has very sparse vegetables this year.
Just Plain Common Sense, if you hadn't notice lately, the forests are on fire. It will take 30 to 70 years before the forest will back to where it once was. I went to Yosemite National Park in California back in 2015. An area that I had to travel through had a fire back in the late 70's. Would you believe it, you can still smell the chard coals of the trees that had burned? You can see a field sparely fill with young trees. While across the road where the firefighters stood their ground to save the forest, you can not see ten feet in front of you due to the mass amount of trees?
Here in California, when a fire hits an area the fire changes the soil. It makes it slippery because of the silica in the soil has turned to a glass like material. This doesn't allow rain water to penetrate the soil. It just runs off as if it was on a slip and slide. This causes mud slides and flooding. Most parts of the country has 4 seasons. California has only 3; sun, fire, and rain. Good luck with your planting.
@@jumpoffa5011 that's the truth. Except lately California only has 2 seasons. Hot and dry or cool and dry. It's only one fire season. 365 days a year. And no real rain or deep snow
Danny, we are in N. MS. After growing all kinds of fruit for many years, we have a shortage now. Most of our fig trees died this past winter. The figs that are on trees are not ripe yet. There are no persimmons on the trees at all. We harvested a few handfuls of blackberries and blueberries. We usually put gallons of blueberries and blackberries in the freezer. Our vegetable crops did pretty good though.
Crazy isn't it. I have the most beautiful looking garden ever in over 40 years ... only... looks though, no ripening fruit at all! ! ! I see the parallel between Joseph of Egypt in my little piece of heaven. For 2 years in a row I had a surplus that we still eat from. This year it is nearly Aug 1 and I harvested 2 tomatoes so far. 2 tomatoes and a ton of herbs. I am so grateful for my personal stewardship of being wise, productive, and as prepared as I can, but I worry for family and friends who have not maintained the vision. There is a sea of people where I live in CT that have shut an eye to what is so obvious. We know what that leads to by historical evidence even today. Once again a wonderful video with food for thought!
Also our watermelon vines have very few watermelons on them.
I,m having massive crop failures in my small garden here in SE N. Car. We are one inch away from the yearly average with massive rains over the last week. My back yard is a swamp.
Gerhard Braatz PA got hit with the rain too. A lot of towns in our area flooded. Even a town on top of a mountain that never floods got hit. It was unreal. I hope you all dry out soon it's rough.
Yep I live in Lexington SC. It as rained every single day for 9 days straight. I noticed that parts of our land is saturated. Now I appreciate God's rain but it can reek havoc is there is too much of anything. The bugs and mosquitoes are eating us up. We even had to have the land sprayed, which I did not agree with, but they were biting us up so bad that we had no choice. On another note, I buy freeze dried foods and stock up on medical stuff from dollar tree as my budget is just so bad.
May God give us wisdom to discern the times! Thank you for being real!
My Clemson Spineless that I have been growing for years really struggled to get started this year. They still aren't producing the harvest that I usually get every year. When researching information that the "gatekeepers" such as Google doesn't want you to see, I would suggest to use another search engine. DuckDuckGo is an excellent search engine I use that doesn't censor news or keep information hidden. As always, another great Porch Time!
Danny, my garden this year has never been this bad. Tomatoes were half as many with many with end rot. No zucchini and I usually have an abundance. Green beans faired well. No cucumbers, watermelon and my okra is stunted, just won't grow. We've had NO rain since March and extreme temps.
Julie Schossow you must be in Texas
Wisdom!
Amen!
Just found your channel. Love the video
Rebecca Swilling Thanks for watching
Yesterday morning we thought we were gonna get our first real rain since May but nope....it rained for maybe 3 minutes with wind blowing it straight sideways, then it just stopped. Ground is still hard, dry and cracked (Blackland Prarie clay soils of north Texas). The only thing that is doing well in the garden at this point is the okra and even it isn't making as abundantly as it did last year. Looks like we are gonna be hunting for farmers markets for food to can this year.
No rain in central Texas ... coastal hay is scarce and when u find it , it is expensive ...$100 or more...
God Bless!
east TN is the same rain and high heat took out my garden tomatoes real bad so far
bobby hoffman Same here
In the storehouses of the wise are many supplies.
I wanted to add in that even the produce in the stores is going bad before we have a chance to eat it...nothing lasts longer than 4 days before it molds...so if we depend on fruit/veg from stores it is wasting money unless you eat it in 2 days or so. I feel like we all better be storing long term foods & if we can can this next season...we will be blessing God for it...if there is produce to buy in the stores...we will be thanking God for it and eat it that day. Thank you for your warning Danny...why did it seem like the dogs in the background were for the bottom line..."the wolves are at the door". I'm praying that God helps you out with that nuisance soon. I felt like Noah was talking to us today...;) God bless you!
Oneda Zinn, you can freeze or can produce you bring home from store or farmers market. Grocery store produce may not be ideal but better than nothing. I've been doing carrots this week. It's more expensive but better than starving. Good luck.
God Bless
This year was my first opportunity to try my hand at gardening and I thought it was my inexperience that caused my many many failures....Beans, Tomatoes, Corn, Carrots, etc. With today's porch time, and many other channels, I am just wondering if what I'm trying to do is a little to late to even try. But I know God has the final Word and I will continue to put my hope and trust in Him for each and every day thought out the future...WHAT-EVER comes my way...good or bad. Thanks Deep South Homestead for the "Straight Talk". I send my prayers for all to rely on God's wisdom and discernment for strength and encouragement...."Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” "Deuteronomy 31:6 (NIV).
I bought some shungite ...I don’t have an EMF meter but I do know that they say your electric bill will go down and your food will last longer... I put some on a magnet and attached it to my fridge and I had strawberries that I bought at the grocery store last for 2 weeks ... I was shocked ... they usually don’t last a week for me..
always pray God blesses your harvest. we can do all the work in the garden but God gives the increase (harvest)
Something I think I'll do again, in light of your talk is to put up dehydrated soup. I fit 9 lbs. of frozen veggies in my Excalibur
dehydrator. I get the mixed soup frozen veggies when on sale 10 for $10. Probably GMOs but it's emergency food. I do have a good powdered bullion with no msg to use with it. Then pack it in mylar. Very economical. The bullion alone could keep you alive.
Danny, thank you for keeping us in line, we have been canning, storing food in mylar bags, with spices for long storage. Our garage is full of canned foods,water, we have variety of rice, beans, prepared for the delima. We have been laughed at, said we were crazy. You have been a witness to us. God told my wife five years ago to do this. We have food stacked under furniture, covered to not be seen, under beds, in closets. We have no kitchen table, we have very little furniture because it is all food prep. The LORD our GOD has put on my wife to save every seed we can get our hands on for future use. Danny, we are feeling like NOAH when people laughed at him. It has been raining a lot, with the hot sun, and humidity, the rain has been smothering a lot of plants with sand. We have to go out and wash sand off of plants to keep them from dieing. You are confirming GODS word to us, we are on track. We went to a couple stores with empty shelves and one was a major food store. Canning jars are scarce, we went to two different counties looking for them. They are hard to get today. May GOD BLESS your home.
I can relate . I wonder why some think just because we are in modern times that God doesn't give visions , messages as in biblical times ? He didn't stop , people aren't paying attention and are too busy with living the fast life . We are a retired couple and doing what we can . fixed income and disabled but the Lord is with us . You keep on doing what you are doing . The Lord is watching over you . You are doing it right , hand in hand with our Lord . Blessings, Linda
Hi, Mr. Danny. Great Porch Time! How long will seeds stay viable? I’ve bought land, but won’t have a homestead up and running for another 4yrs. Thanks for all the great work you do.
HCF 1516 If kept dry they will last several years.
Commenting from New Hampshire: my garden is not producing except for some tomatoes that are still green. I got 10 beans, no zuchinni, one yellow squash and no peppers. it is insane - so unsettling....
In North Mississippi. I always grow Clemson Spineless okra but, mine is an heirloom variety. Mine is producing like normal this year. Have to say, my beefsteak tomatoes are still producing nice big fruits and the vines are over 10 feet tall but, by this time last year I had gotten over 300 pounds of them and not even close this year. Bear in mind, my beefsteaks are from seed saved for over 8 years and are used to the conditions here on my land. My kitchen garden where they are planted is in year 3 of doing the Ruth Stout method and I believe that is the only thing that has helped. The tomatoes I planted out in the big garden where I just started doing the Ruth Stout method this year, have gotten blight. Everything seems to be growing much slower this year and we have not had rain in over a month. The grass is crunchy and the ground out in the big garden is so hard that I cannot even get it ready to plant my Fall crops. Three things I grow because my Grandma did are the Clemson Spineless okra, Kentucky Wonder beans and Yellow Jarvis corn. Her wisdom is priceless because those three things did well for me this year. I am glad I got to learn from her, a widow with three small children who got them all through the Great Depression.
Amen
my garden did not do good Iam in North Carolina
I hope and pray none of us will hear the words many heard during the depression , Eat is slowly and make it last . My parents like many others out there , have parents that lived through the Great Depression . Thank you Danny for a very important and good message . I still hear people say nothing will happen . Well we all should hope for the best but prepare for the worst and walk with our Lord . Blessings and love to you all , Linda
The same things are happening here in the phoenix area. Nothing is growing well even though i am having to water twice as often. Struggling even to keep the plants alive. I usually ha
Sorry... cut off in the middle. I usually have armenian cucumbers coming out my ears but not much this year. No okra yet but at least the plants are growing. Eggplant doing some. Peppers not doing anything at all.
