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!
Lol we tried corn, a small amount. Big mistake - just as it was at harvest-ready, crows wiped it out. You pretty much have to grow enough such that there will be enough left after the crows take their cut...
Yeah, I kind of figured they would take up too much room in the yard, for such a small harvest. The sunflowers are big enough, but we don't mind sharing with the birds...that's who we plant them for.
