Fall is the perfect time to start a worm bin. Start in Fall to have nutrient rich soil ready for spring planting.
We're so thrilled to be able to share this Q&A with Cathy Nesbitt - worm composting expert extraordinaire, educator, and environmentalist - of Cathy's Crawly Composters.
We hope Cathy's enthusiasm inspires some of you to try worm composting to help the earth, reduce waste, boost your soil health as well as your own.
We're so excited to be sharing a series of garden tours from some of our Incredible Seeds community members!
The next stop on our tour takes us to the Canadian Prairies. Kristin Raney, the inspiring blogger behind Shifting Roots, shares her love of beautifying backyards, small space and square foot gardening, mixing flowers and vegetables, and more. Kristen's garden is proof that you can grow a beautiful, abundant garden in a small space.
May this little walk through her garden inspire you on your own gardening journey!
Taking the time to succession plan now, while things are still slow, will help keep you on track when things get busy in May and June.
Succession planting is a fantastic and creative way to make the most out of your growing season and your garden space. Instead of planting once in late Spring and harvesting in late Summer, you can enjoy a steady, continuous harvest throughout the entire growing season!
Although threatened by deforestation, the wonderful Pawpaw is making a big comeback.
Pawpaw is found almost exclusively in the wild and is difficult for the average person to find - which gives this tree almost mythical status among growers and foodies. The best way to get a hold of Pawpaw fruit is to grow it yourself - and fortunately it is quite easy to cultivate!
With a rise in food and fuel prices and a shift towards eating more local, seasonal, and organic food, more gardeners are interested in learning how to grow more of their own food.
It is totally possible, even in places with cold, harsh winters, to harvest food in all four seasons!
