Gardening/Food Forests – March 28, 2024

Well, we are about 8-10 weeks out from the last frost now. I’m getting incredibly excited for planting. My son and I found a book the other day that we decided to follow to try and maximize our yields in the garden this year. It’s a week by week guide bast on frost days, that give you gardening tasks to accomplish; weeks before, during, and after last frost and first frost. It’s quite the book.

Added the dates for our area.

In addition to other methods and ideas I’ve learned we are going to give this book a shot and see how it helps with the garden this year. So following this guide, we are actually a couple weeks behind with some indoor planting. So today, I got my hands in some soil. And ooohhh boy did it feel good!

I was able to setup a small planting shelf in my yurt, with a couple full spectrum lights above. This will hopefully be sufficient with the heat from the wood stove to germinate the seeds.

Opting to use egg cartons as seeding pots. When the seedlings are mature enough to go outside I simply break the cartons apart and bury them with the roots and they break down.
I am starting out mostly with herbs, but also some onions, asparagus and peppers from seed.
I’m so excited!!!! 

I’ll keep you posted as things progress. Thanks for tuning in! I love you all!

Today’s reading: Luke 4:31-44 and Judges 4,5,6.

-H.
