For most of the US this cold blast will be the last and it will be time to start getting our hands dirty. I have a 12 acre farm that fully supports my family and leaves plenty left over for storage and the future. While I'm biased a bit, I think it's time to bring back victory gardens.
Get out there, dig in the dirt, and plant some seeds.
Feel free to ask advice here!
I try all different ways of gardening. Cloth pots, raised beds, in Ground with woven black plastic with burned holes. Open ground. I like the chaos of a cottage or pottager garden so I mix it up. I start the seeds indoors (2nd year) and mix the ones I can with flowers and I have perennial fruits and herbs all about. So far I’m not a fan of cloth pots for food crops and find potatoes like the ground best.
I’ve been at it for years and never get tired of learning. Preserving the harvest is now my main learning focus. I hate wasting.
