@cognazor @TornadoNate @RizomaSchool Crop and varietal diversity, always the way. This, from a savvy cohort. And I think I've mentioned the crucial role greenhouses can play in securing resilience.

I wouldn't be surprised. I figured out 10 years ago that the way to have a "climate resilient" garden is to plant 1.5-2x the area you would usually plant in a stable climate, grow a diversity of crops, and expect total crop failure for some proportion of your garden each year due to pests, disease, and extreme weather.
