Farming Day | The Survival Gardener

Happy Monday!

We didn’t get much done on Saturday, our normal farming/gardening day, so we are attacking the gardens today.

Looks like it’s planting time for almost everything now here in Lower Alabama. Check out this planting chart.

On the docket for today: grain corn, sweet corn, summer squash and maybe beans. Got some trees to plant as well.

I also plan to dig up one of my smaller garden beds and see if we can transform the soil in it into an approximation of terra preta. Other projects I need to finish include putting in posts for grape vines, planting a bunch of potatoes at a neighbor’s house, starting sweet potato slips in the greenhouse, planting the pawpaw seeds that have been stratifying in my fridge and building a working chicken coop.

We’ll film as we go and hopefully have some good content for later in the week.

Once the important farm tasks are done, I’ll try to get the music finished for the big tomato film… lots of work to do. If all goes well, I’ll have it re-edited in a couple of days and we can do a big premiere this week.

I’ve also launched my own publishing company to put out my books and I’m working quickly to get titles transferred to that, as well as get other authors published. When it rains, it pours! May I do all things to the glory of God and may He preserve us as we all go about our daily tasks.

“Worthy are you, our Lord and God,
    to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
    and by your will they existed and were created.”

-Rev 4:11
