Summer is one of our favorite times of
the year, and having a garden is a special
celebration. Each year we plant a large garden and
enjoy a bountiful harvest of fresh vegetables, the
ultimate in live food! Truly there is nothing like
'home-grown': you plant it, nurture it, harvest it,
and eat it! Gardening is a healthy, healing
experience that is well worth the effort.
Though our growing season in Maine is
short, we make the most of it by planting as early as
possible. Usually by the end of May we begin to
plant. We till our ground and use mulch around our
crops to keep moisture in and the weeds down. We
compost our kitchen scraps and add the rich, new soil
to our garden bed each year. Rich soil, proper crop
rotation, and high quality, organic seeds determine
the level of your garden's productivity.
We maintain a vegan, organic garden in
that we use no chemical fertilizers or fertilizers
and no animal waste. The only fertilizer we use is
MIRACLE II AGRICULTURAL BLEND which can be purchased
by contacting us. We have found that in using Miracle
II Agricultural Blend, our plants are stronger, more
disease resistant, and have a higher, more extended
yield.
Other handy resources we use are Fedco
Seeds www.fedcoseeds.com , and Johnny's
Select Seeds www.johnnyseeds.com. Both are
local companies. Fedco is located in Clinton, Maine,
while Johnny's Select Seeds is just down the road
from us in Winslow. Both of these seed companies have
excellent quality seeds as well as natural pesticides
and other garden-related items.
From time to time, we post garden
information and tips in an effort to help you in your
garden experience.
If we can be of any help to you, let us know. We are
glad to share knowledge that we have gained along the
way.
Happy gardening!
In observance of YHVH's command to rest
the land in the seventh year, we rest our garden
every seven years.
