January update reveals the seedlings that are two weeks old. Seeds planted in January by the almanac are near one hundred percent germination on stubborn lavender, thyme, moringa, and lots of early spring color.

The persimmon seeds are not ready to sprout yet. I placed them in the cool (above freezing) to release the sprouting enzyme in this native seed. I will treat with mycorrhiza and bring back into the warm.

Staring seed indoors in January comes with challenges. Having the space, equipment, and know how to start seeds is an incorporated skill and is developed through experience. Our third year starting herbs, flowers, perennial, for the garden.

Gardening by the almanac. Does it work? How do you do it? We all have questions about this topic related to gardening.

We use natural gardening techniques to build a diverse natural ecosystem in the gardens. Slowly replacing common species, with perennial food producing species.

What to see how permaculture and food forest work? This is a very young food forest. Foundation tree plantings are still happening. This year we will focus on establishing our new fruit trees, and removing the unproductive or undesirable nuisance plants. Working with nature and its natural cycles.

Zone 7A/8B we are in a boundary zone micro climate on the banks of a seasonal creek. Expanding the food production, natural ecosystems that will blend food production, medicinals, and aesthetic plantings. To support bees, butterflies, and all the beautiful life on this garden.
