We have big plans for the garden this year! This is our 7th year gardening, but our first year gardening on the farm! We know that with creating a whole new garden versus planting in an established one, that we will run into trouble. We are also increasing our garden bed space by about 4-5x… so this year will certainly be a learning curve. BUT, we are excited to dive into the garden this year. I know I can’t wait.
We’ve learned so much over the years tending to the garden and honestly, I never knew it would be something I’d enjoy, but I really do. There’s something so amazing about growing your own food from a tiny seed. It’s incredible! God’s creation never ceases to amaze me.
So, I figured I’d share a little bit of our garden plans with you:
What do we plan to grow this year?
Biggest things we are focusing our efforts on are on things we know we eat a lot of AND things we know we can can / preserve to eat throughout the winter.
We are also trying our hand at some other herbs and spices and I am attempting a flower garden! This year I’m trying something called “companion gardening” where you plant complimentary flowers by vegetables and fruits that either attract or repel pests / pollinators. I’m not an expert on this so Google it if you’re interested in learning more!
We are so excited to see what grows this year!
Are you planning a garden? What are you going to grow?
