I started tomatoes, Swiss chard and collards seeds yesterday, I want to start more, I will have to get some potting soil. I read somewhere that it's better and helps to prevent diseases if one uses potting soil to start seeds, not sure how true since the plants will still get planted in...

Quote: I haven't started butmy fingers are itching to start!!! I think I will start collards, spinach and swiss chard in a week or two.

Which type are you using and do they add a lot to the electric bill? I want to buy one but don't know yet which one .

Anyone starting seeds with grow lights?

I've been gone too long to read all the 200+posts, I hope everyone has been doing well. My garden is full of weeds, my chickens are doing great, will be incubating some eggs next week to get some birds for spring.

Wow!! lot's of posts in just the two days I have not logged in... Good debate.. It's raining here now, so glad I pulled the weeds around the strawberries and gooseberry bushes. The wild black berries are ripening and my 4yr old wants to start picking but they need a bit more time to turn from...

Yesterday we picked a lot of wild green vegetables from a field marked "no spray organic field" (amaranthus & Black night shade) it's amazing all this will be filled in a few days. Both are great for iron deficiency among other stuff. So grateful to God for having friends who share info and took...

Doing some more raised beds now, will make them higher. Come fall I will lay down cardboards in between them to keep he weeds down. 

Neat!!!

The weeds are taking over but at least have been eating the collards and the kale.

Cutting back on my garden plans this season, i'll be out for seven weeks and hubby doesn't do garden, leaving him with the chickens is hard work already.At least already eating collards and leeks from the garden. I don't think my tomatoes will be ready in July before leaving, hopefully he will...

Camping and staying in a cabin sounds like fun!!! Enjoy yourselves...

I ordered two black velvet gooseberry (Red ones) plant earlier during the winter and they shipped this spring, they are establishing well, I have never eaten gooseberry or had their jelly but had read on them and hoping when they start to bear fruits I will like them.

yeah right!!!! too funny!

It has been raining on and off here but I did manage to go weed around the wild berries at least I weeded well around 3 plants, I plan on weeding around the more established bushes slowly. The ground being wet makes it easier then I will spread the cow manure and straw once cleared. I hope...

and welcome to this thread. There should be someone here who does urban homesteading for sure. And it's a good start what you are already doing. I don't live in a farm but my zoning is agricultural and have farms around us. Only have a little over 2 acres. If I'm not wrong I think they do have...

nice!!!

Anyone got wood chips dropped off to them yet? If I don't get any I might just get some straw and lay under the wild berry bushes to suppress other weeds and make harvesting easier

They've been coming up every spring no matter how low we mow them, just figured if they can be put to use then I can have a productive lawn.

great!!! I have a lot in the yard will start using them
