We are all connected...to each other, to the earth, to the animals we attract to our gardens, and to the food we eat. This blog details my trials and tribulations as I continually experiment with growing all of my own vegetables, herbs and fruit, exploring the sustainable lifestyle in Illinois.

Getting ready for seed starting
If you haven't ordered your seeds and starting mix and you're in my climate zone (zone 5) you need to get it all ordered. In about 2 weeks we will begin the seed starting process. It goes quickly believe it or not, and you should have everything on hand. I'm getting very excited about starting the seeds. I highly recommend that you purchase from seed companies that preserve biodiversity instead of getting common seeds from big box stores. You will be able to introduce new types of veggies to your neighbors, and enjoy new flavors. My two favorite tomatoes are Black Krim and Amana Orange for example. And for small tomatoes Black Mauri and Violet Jasper, they were super productive last year in a really bad season.
