i have narrowed down what i will be growing in 2019.
every year the winter is for mapping out and planning, which seeds need to be grown out to save more. staggering maturity to avoid cross-pollination, companion planting, sun tracking. covering all of my bases to ensure a successful year on my side, working with mother nature and her mood swings.
