Time to Get Growing!

Before we started our self-isolation, I needed to run a few errands. Naturally, I stopped by our local nursery, Reems Creek, for some potting soil and seeds. The soil was in abundance, but the seeds were not. Many of them were out of stock and they were not sure when more would come to the store. As many of us begin to isolate, we may naturally feel more vulnerable and uncertain. One thing that brings me some peace during these challenging times is the act of growing food. I have always loved to grow food, but it feels a little different going into this season. I felt like I needed to take my food growing a bit more seriously. Questions started bubbling up. What are some of the more nutritious veggie varieties I can grow? Is it too soon to plant in the ground? What seeds should I start indoors? What medicine plants should I focus on growing this year?

Then I thought, how can I help others grow more food to feed themselves and their families, especially during isolation? I know these questions, and many others, can be overwhelming, especially if gardening is new to you.
