Is it really important to know your seasons?

Image
For centuries, seasons determined what a farmer thought could grow at a time. In some parts of the world, there are four recognized seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter. In some other places, there are the rainy and dry seasons.  Over the years, we have shifted to growing for longer by integrating systems like irrigation, greenhouse growing, hydroponics, aeroponics, etc. While most of these things have been applied to commercial growing, many home growers like you and I have also used them in their edible gardens. Many plants can be grown well beyond the exact seasonal specifications with self-watering systems, grow lights, mini-greenhouses, etc.  It does help to begin with what is recommended for the seasons in your area, and then you can add other plants and systems to grow more in those same seasons.  In warmer climates especially, you have the advantage of growing many things almost all year round, provided water supply is available in the absence of rains.

2 Readily Available Items for Starting Seeds at Home

Image
As I prepare to start seeds for 2024, I am excited to share with you two unique yet readily available items in your house that can serve as containers for starting your seeds! In upcoming posts, we will delve deeper into the process of starting seeds and provide you with some tips on different techniques. First off, let's talk about egg cartons! With eggs being a staple in most households, you probably have some egg cartons lying around. These cartons are perfect for starting your seeds as they provide deep individual spots for each seedling to grow until they are ready to be transferred to bigger containers. But what's even better about egg cartons is their degrading quality. You can simply transfer them directly into the soil without transplanting, and the carton will break down naturally. So, the next time you buy some eggs, opt for the carton crates, and you'll be doing your plants and the environment a favor! The second item is the cardboard tube found in the center of...

Start your garden today!

 There is a popular quote that says  "The best time to start was yesterday, the next best time is today." - Unknown. In every single area of life, this is such a true saying. We often find ourselves spending time calculating how long it will take, in this case, for the plant to produce fruit, or leaves to fully grow. We forget that no matter how many times we look up the information on how long it takes, and calculate that time from our today, that future time will still come.  For example, you want to have fresh lettuce and kale by January, and you calculate how long it could take to grow, let's say its about 60days to get both. If you do not start today, 60 days from now you will check again and it will still be the same 60 days only that you still will not have the lettuce and kale you have dreamt of harvesting.  Here's a reminder that you can start that new seed today, start the habit today, make that move today, book a consultation for your dream garden today, e...
