Gardening

Growing your own food is rewarding and can be challenging. Whether you’re gardening from a small community garden plot, a suburban yard, or a homestead, I aim to provide you with all of the thorough guides and how-to’s to be a successful gardener. I grew up gardening with my mother. When I lived on my own in a condo I started growing food in a large community garden plot, on my balcony, and even indoors under grow lights. When we moved to the homestead I obviously had way more land to work with so now we are building our own raised bed garden as well as a permaculture food forest.
