How fast to rebuild the population?

Both Beadley's and Torrance's groups had the idea of supporting a certain number of blind people, in part for the express purpose of having babies. In the situation of the book, is that a good idea? How soon would you want to ramp up population levels?

I think Beadley was thinking of repopulating as a matter of course, but Torrance was specifically looking toward the potential workforce, and also defense force if needed.

But until the triffids are dealt with, does it make sense to invest all that effort and end up with just more mouths to feed with curtailed resources?

I can see if there were no triffids that there would be enough resources laying around to keep a sizable community going, but until then, it seems unworkable.

May the road gangs never meet you. May the wind be fallout-free. May the sun shine through the ashes, hot rain not fall on thee. And until we meet again, may no one hold your flesh in the palm of their hand.
