I have a garden now. 8 actually. 3 vegetable, 5 flower gardens. And a greenhouse. Planted pumpkins, potatoes, carrots, peas, corn, sunflowers (if they count), leeks, onions, rhubarb, parsley, sage and tomatoes. And there are a ton of existing raspberry bushes.

No idea what I'm doing. Went full on Paul Bunyan on some of the trees. Thought I'd visit here, and find out how bad I've screwed up. lol

Sunflowers count as they are good pollinator flowers. If everything is growing you're doing good.

Hey Jimi,

What if you could grow 3,000 pounds of clean, organic produce every year…

From a small space?

  • No industrial farming.
  • No supply chain.
  • No wondering what's been sprayed on your food.

Just real, nutrient-dense food that you grew yourself.

So many people hold back from starting because they feel like they need a sprawling,
multi-acre farm just to make a meaningful difference for their family.

But that is a complete myth.

That's exactly what Brianne Bernsen has built at her family micro-farm in Texas.

And on June 13, she's one of several speakers sharing exactly how they're doing it,

At the complimentary Exit and Build Virtual Summit.

You'll also hear from the founder of Sovereignty Ranch, a 200-acre regenerative farm that's completely outside the industrial food system,

And other leaders who are building real food security from the ground up.

If clean, self-sufficient food has been something you've been thinking about…

This is worth five hours of your time.

Discover how to secure your own pure, chemical-free food supply right at the back of your yard

With love and care,​

Here's my First pick of the day.....June 15
I did pick a couple hot peppers yesterday but they disappeared fast :rolleyes:
Not a big pick but I was hungry

P1510533.JPG

Picked 3 heads of broccoli,
And 2 bowls of Giant Noble Spinach
The broccoli woulda gotten bigger but I was out and I trust mine far more than store bought organic broccoli;)
And I haven't had cooked spinach since last years garden spinach
spinach is such a treat when cooked up right

If you grow herbs, you've probably wondered…

Why do some herbal remedies seem to work amazingly well for one person but not another?

Or why one herb can support so many different health concerns?

The answer has a lot to do with understanding the person—not just the plant.

That's why we wanted to share a free mini-course from our friends Sajah and Whitney Popham, founders of the School of Evolutionary Herbalism. If you joined us for the Superfood Garden Summit, you may remember Sajah's presentation on creating a complete herbal medicine garden with just 10 plants.

He's back with a free mini-course that goes even deeper into the principles behind effective herbalism.

Their complimentary Vitalist Herbalism Mini-Course explores a fascinating approach to herbal medicine that looks beyond symptoms and helps you understand how herbs support the whole person.

>> Get Complimentary Access to the Vitalist Herbalism Mini-Course






Man sitting next to an array of vegetables and fruits that had been discarded​

Whether you're growing herbs for teas, tinctures, family wellness, or simply want a deeper understanding of the plants in your garden, we think you'll find it valuable.

One thing we especially appreciated is how they help connect traditional herbal wisdom with practical ways of understanding why certain herbs are chosen and how they work.

The course is only available for a few days, so if you're curious, be sure to check it out while it's available.

To growing and learning,

🌱 The Grow Your Own Vegetables Team 🌱


P.S. If you're already growing herbs like lemon balm, chamomile, calendula, peppermint, tulsi, or echinacea, this course may give you a whole new appreciation for the plants in your garden.
