July 11th, 2021 - ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐ŸŒพ Iโ€™m Matt and Iโ€™m addicted to overgrowing the greenhouse. This was all โ€œvolunteersโ€. The season before I made seeds and during harvest itโ€™s natural for seeds to fall to the ground. In the spring I started watering the greenhouse and sure enough, a forest emerged๐ŸŒด๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒด๐ŸŒณ

Spring H**p Field filling up the greenhouse. Happy to be chopping it down next week and moving on. I love experimenting and this spring has been a wonderful learning experience. Glad I did it! I feel like Iโ€™ve experienced some of the best experiences in growing regenerative h**p. From huge 12โ€™ plants to witnessing it reseed the land. H**p can totally heal our depleted soils and provide an abundance of resources. Itโ€™s a shame the plant has been โ€œhoeโ€™dโ€ out and only used to get high these days with chemically converted cannabinoids flooding the markets. If I ever grow h**p again it will be for the seed or fiber. Plus the over regulation to control it to .3% thc can ruin a farmers season. My first season I had one variety test at .31% thc. I paid $200 to have it retested and luckily came back at .29% thc. Imagine if my farm and family counted on that crop and it retested at .31% again. A whole farmers livelihood gone over .01% thc. As we see in most states legalizing, big companies control it and you need lots of fancy upgrades to play. I just canโ€™t continue to participate in a pay-to-play model anymore. I am forever thankful for the this plant at helping me reconnect with the earth and regenerative agriculture. Blessings to everyone continuing to carry on hand crafted regenerative cannabinoid farming. I will forever encourage everyone to support real farmers that love the land they grow upon. Peace everyone! Grow some food this year, it might feed you more then h**p๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ‘

Mulching your soil is probably the #1 thing every farmer should consider to improve your future crops. This area has always been a horse field(over 30+ years) and now Iโ€™m transforming it in to food production. The soil is compacted and barely anything was growing here. It may look funny now, but give it a year to let the worms populate and it will be beaming with life. Iโ€™de love to plant fruit trees and really turn it into a food forest but that will wait till after this year of annual crops. Pumpkins and squash are my main ideas here. I love regenerative agriculture; Heals the earth and helps me feel more in harmony ๐Ÿ’šโ™ป๏ธ๐ŸŒž๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿ  ๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿฅฌ๐Ÿฅฆ

Eating weeds is like eating the sun๐ŸŒž and earth๐ŸŒŽ This is a true Multi-Vitamin๐Ÿ’ช I have been craving greens and wanted to simplify eating them with a smoothie. Chickweed, purple dead nettle flowers, mint, rosemary, lemon balm, cleavers, a dandelion flower, and h**p. I have a banana and chia seeds mixed in too. Iโ€™m going to forgo the banana next time; maybe a garlic/ginger mix would be nice for dressings. What wild weeds could you eat today?

Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.

This is where the magic happens๐ŸŒŸ All this soil life is the engine, they require gasoline (carbon sources like mulch/grass clippings/manure/compost) and the result is this fast paced probiotic soil ready to super charge plants ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒฑ I even feel buzzed when I have my hands in the soil โšก๏ธ
