Creative Trellising – From Scratch Magazine

I’m so excited to announce that I have my first magazine article published!  I have an article about creative trellising in the current issue of From Scratch Magazine!  (Do you subscribe?  It’s free!)  It came out a couple of weeks ago, but I just found out that I can imbed a copy of the magazine here for you to enjoy, so here you go! 

My article is on pages 86-89, but the whole magazine is beautiful this month and chock full of gardening ideas to get you ready for spring!  You can read it here.

And while I’m busy with shameless self promotions, I will mention that my friend Erin from Blue Yurt Farms is doing a series featuring advice from homesteaders from around the country.  I just so happened to be included last week, so I thought I would share it with you.  Click here to read Tips & Advice From 5 Homesteaders!

Fun Facebook Groups to Join!

In other news, some of the awesome homesteaders that I hang out with online have started three Facebook groups that are just too much fun not to share!  They are listed as “closed” groups to keep out spammers, but just request to join and one of us will approve your membership as quickly as we can!  The boards are:

Livestock Anonymous 

Garden Among Friends

Backyard Chicken Project

Get Ready for Spring!

And finally, because I’ve had it up to here *reaching as high as I can* with winter, I have found some great gardening inspiration for you!  Spring will be here before we know it!  Beulah is shedding like a mad woman and the peaches are starting to bud, so it must be true!

This Successional Sowing Schedule from Little Mountain Haven is great if you are looking to get your garden plan squared away and organized for the year.

If you live on a small lot and need BIG inspiration, check out the 1/8 Acre Urban Farm over at Ever Growing Farm

Attainable Sustainable offers great advice on how to Make the Most of Your Garden By Choosing Plants Wisely and Growing Sweet Potatoes.  (Hint:  it’s time to start your slips indoors now!)

 So, let me hear it, what kind of garden help or inspiration are you looking for this year?  I want to write about what you want to read, so this is your chance!
