The world is in a tailspin.

Not much to give hope right now.

It is spring though and thank goodness that hardware stores and garden shops are considered essential.

Gardening offers hope! You can’t plant a seed without hope.  That is what planting a seed is all about.

We NEED to be growing our own food more than ever!

So, for 2020 I will be starting from scratch in a new garden on a new home farm. I have just over an acre with lots of south facing hillside. So I began removing some existing remnants of the previous owners garden area. There were pathways mulched with asphalt shingles which I removed last fall to plant garlic and mother onions (potato onions). That amounted to a 4 x 10 bed with health looking garlic and onions.  We added another 6 foot’ to the bed this spring for early lettuce, herbs and spinach. Later we added a compost pit on the north end of the first bed for a total first ed size f (FILL IN THE SIZE AFTER MEASURE HERE)

Then we laid out a 50 x 50 patch around the first bed. Using as many labor saving techniques as possible like the mulching of the onions and garlic. Not much else needs to me done till harvest here except pulling back the mulch later before harvest.

Then we laid out a few other beds. We added a raised bed container garden with galvanized livestock water tanks. Coming soon, tomato patch and other beds.
