So, I've got about a 3 month supply tucked throughout the house. Short of building an underground bunker I have no idea how I could put 9 more months worth of food in my home without it spoiling. Any ideas would be appreciated.

On a somewhat related note, my back lawn died for the 2nd time in a year. This time I decided that I was going to do something different with it. I've made it into a vegetable garden (not done yet, but getting there). It looks nice and should be pretty productive. I'm kind of excited about it as we haven't ever had a large garden before.
This is our main issue. No room to store stuff, so not going to worry about it.

Even if we had a huge bag of wheat, I wouldnt know what to do with it anyway. do you put it in the microwave?
