Put in my seed order to seed savers<\/a> yesterday. \u00a0This is the first year in a few that I’ve not started any plants. \u00a0We moved the hydroponics cart into the garage to gain room for consolidation of all our dog crates in the kitchen. \u00a0Not sure whether we’ll use it this winter or not. \u00a0Maybe. \u00a0But this year, we’re planting seeds or buying transplants.<\/p>\n I ordered 8 tomato plants and 6 pepper plants from seed savers. \u00a0I still need to pick up onion sets, leek transplants and kale, probably tomorrow at Mother Earth Gardens at Lyndale and 42nd. \u00a0Our potatoes will come from seed savers, too.<\/p>\n We’ve got raspberries, strawberries, apples, pears, plums, cherries, blueberries, currants, wild grapes and asparagus that are perennials, plus the overwintered garlic and some onions. \u00a0Even so, I’m glad we don’t have to survive off of our produce. \u00a0Gardening would be real work then, a chore.<\/p>\n Instead, our garden sustains us spiritually, maintaining that constant and close connection to the seasons, to the vegetative world, to the soil. \u00a0It also provides food throughout the winter and we’ve chosen to emphasize that aspect of our garden by planting vegetables that we can put up.<\/p>\n Plus the bees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Spring \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Bee Hiving Moon Put in my seed order to seed savers yesterday. \u00a0This is the first year in a few that I’ve not started … Continue reading Growing<\/span>
