> If you’re going to survive on a garden, you won’t be eating meat. I'd recommend at least raising chickens, for the eggs, poop, and some meat. I would also add a couple geese to help defend the chickens. Rabbits are an option, too--they taste great, they fertilize the ground, and their pelts are useful. Venison (deer meat) is another healthy addition, and because we humans have squashed wolf populations across North America it is our responsibility to either promote wolf recovery, do what wolves do (selectively kill deer), or both. Deer overpopulation leads to disease (as in urban rabbit populations, too) and changes in the land (see what the reintroduction of wolves did in Yellowstone National Park--beavers might have been critically important there, too). Whatever environment you find yourself in, do what you can to increase the biodiversity of the nearby land. If the fungi and plants are part of the local web (and not some useless decorative or parasitic thing) they will confer increased resilience as climate changes (might carefully consider introducing quasi-local lifeforms depending on what the likely changes will be). Swapping grass lawns for a perennial mix of native prairie plants, for example, will bring more pollinators and smell/sound/look nice. Dandelions don't go back thousands of years in Washington state (that I'm aware of) but unlike daisies they are both edible (root, leaf, and flower) and minimally invasive. In any case, tweak things so that nothing burns out; keep few enough chickens so they don't turn the ground to bare dirt, for example. Might need to cooperate extensively with neighbors.
