RE: Do you grow? It is almost time to start seeds!!
Such a timely and inspiring post. I just pulled out my 3 tubs of seeds yesterday and as soon as I clean off an area will be laying them all out to see what I have ready to go. I try to always collect seeds at the end of the season so I have good ones acclimated to the area.
I had to move my farm this last summer so am pretty much starting over with my garden area and raised beds. Will be a challenge as the soil I had was mostly clay that I had built up over a few years with mulch etc. and now the soil here is sand.
Because of the move I did not can up any spinach and now am paying the price so hoping to be a bit more on top of the game this year. Going to focus on spinach, beets and carrots. Tomatoes and cukes do well in the little green house I have so looks like I will be doing some raised beds outside with screen on the bottom to keep out the millions of gophers I have found living here :(
Am SO looking forward to spring......
Raised beds are exciting...Some things just grow so much better in them and you can control your soil quality. Ugh gophers!!! We have them here too....groundhogs and weevels. Such destructive little guys!
3 tubs sounds like a lot of seeds! I look forward to your progress this year at your new home <3
The gophers are really something. I had a little gazebo out by the garden and watched them work. One day he had a daisy, he was pulling down his hole, it was hilarious. But not so funny is when they decided to eat the roots from my tomatoes and an entire row of peas. I didn't know they would go after tomatoes but he would gnaw the plant off right at ground level and leave me a big wilting tomato plant to cry over.....but screening the bottom of the beds should help.
