Seeds started a week ago are already sprouting. My heart is always torn about no longer running our farm. I’m grateful I can still grow a garden for my family. It’s not too late to get seeds started. What will you grow this year?

My heart misses running our farm but I still try to grow a garden every year for our family. It requires my children to help and thankfully they love doing learning in the gardens and snacking. It’s that time again to start seeds inside. This year we are hoping to have a better summer than last year. While not all seeds need to be started early and inside peppers, tomatillos and tomatoes need a longer season. They take longer to germinate and mature to production. We also start marigolds. These flowers are a must in every garden to repel pest. We also start herbs and other flowers to attract the bees. I’ve dreamed of a bee hive and fresh honey. Maybe someday .... I’ve been blessed with a greenhouse this winter and we have tomatoes on the plants in January. Today we had hail / snow flurries this morning and tomatoes off the plant . I’m super thrilled and will be even more grateful as we have a head start on the season.

Season extending. While I do live somewhere with a fairly decent season I always like to try and push it more. Row tunnels and wall o waters are great season extenders.

Did you know when water gets colder and to the freezing point it releases heat? With a wall o water surrounding your plant it’s like a mini heater as the temperatures get colder. For those with shorter seasons these 2 techniques can really extend your growing time. I have also used gallon size jugs (like milk jugs or vinegar jugs) to help keep my plants safe from a frost. You’d be amazed at how much a little bit of plastic will protect plants. We have also used glass wine bottles full of water near the plants to mimic little heaters. A little bit of creativity can really extend your growing season.

Well our farm is not an active Farm anymore but the knowledge of growing is still in me. While I can’t run a farm at this time I can impart the knowledge I have onto others. Growing is second nature to me. I’ve grown since I was a child and I’m known to take plants on the brink of death and bring them back to life.

I plant by the moon cycles. I’ve found over the years to have great success when planting by the moon. The next full moon is January 17th. We will be starting seeds from the 14th through the 19th/ 20th for this years growing season. I’ll be posting tips along the way.

The seed catalog below is one we have ordered seeds from for over 16 years. They are dedicated to preserving seeds and not contributing to GMOs . Their seeds are top quality and last for years beyond the season they are packed for.
