Growing food doesn't have to be complicated. If you're new to gardening it may seem that way. You hear people throwing around words like cross-pollination, root bound, indeterminate, and hardening off and you feel they are speaking a different language.
In episode 11 I talked about my thoughts on jumping in blindly to the homesteading life. I cautioned you not to start without some planning in two areas- when it involves animals and when it involves wasting money. Today I'm going to say the opposite and tell you to just do it! Just start that garden.
Here are 3 reasons why you should start now and not wait:
- Seeds want to grow. We just have to create a nice little bed for them to grow but their will to grow is strong.
- Growing food can be inexpensive. Learning to grow food has a low barrier of entry. You can find free seeds through people around you and sometimes through the food you purchase in the grocery store.
- You will only become a better gardener through failures and successes so the sooner you start the fast you will develop this skill.
Listen to the podcast to learn 3 things you can do during the winter months to prepare for next year's garden.
