Happy microgreen seeding day here at the farm finally!

We have been busy getting our newly 20’ by 30’ garden plot put in. It has been taking up a lot of our time away from these precious little plants, but we are so happy to back at it.

72 Kale seedlings transplanted, almost ready for ground planting. Come on spring!

What’s your favorite transplanting tool?

I love chopsticks, they help in numerous ways. From making the hole in the soil, separating the leaves for removing and translating your seedlings. Makes moving them around a gentle and smooth process. If you haven’t tried them before, you might want to give them a go.

It’s time to take your health seriously and take action! New to gardening and unsure if it’s for you? Here’s a simple and cost effective method to start your mini garden.

Grab three 5 gallon food grade buckets, a bag of 2 cubic feet of organic potting soil of choice. This one bag should be enough to fill all three containers. Flip the buckets over and put a few drain holes in the bottom of each bucket and fill them with soil.

Not sure what to plant or how to grow them? Look for seed packets that have a container pot 🪴listed on them or grab seedlings from your local nursery that are container plants. Follow the instructions on the backside of the package for seed starting.

In one 5 gallon bucket you can grow 1 tomato, 1 pepper, 1 zucchini, 1 cucumber or 1 eggplant.

With the remaining two buckets choose from these veggies: 3-4 lettuce, 12-15 carrots or beets, 6 bulbs of onions, 4 chive plants, 3-4 spinach or 4 bush beans per 5 gallon bucket.

Container plants are pretty much self sufficient, they just need some water and a little conversation. That’s right, it’s ok to speak with your plants, it’s a free therapy session and it encourages their growth. You won’t look crazy, your neighbors might get inspired.
