@Dar Brown mentioned starting plants in February for the cold season plants. @Manda Jackson is in her summer growing season now? Is that correct. And with @Susan Eaton in Zone 6, I saw a post today that indicated January is a good cold weather crop indoor start time. What cold weather crops does the group plan to start indoors in 2026? What month do you start them and what USDA zone are you in?

As you have time, no rush, no worries, please send me what you grow now and what other items you might try to grow in 2026. @Susan Eaton @Manda Jackson @Dar Brown

Hello Community, I have an idea and wondered what you think. I could make a course named Susan's Oasis, another called Manda's Oasis and another called Dar Oasis. As you post pictures and we research the plants you like to grow as well as how we raise our soil livestock and even your favorite tea blends, I can add those in creating your personal Oasis, kind of a showcase and a learning tool at the same time. What are your thoughts? @Susan Eaton @Manda Jackson @Dar Brown

Hello Oasis Builders... I am a member of another site called SkoolYard which is a group of entrepreneurs learning and sharing together helping each other grow. They are having an escape room challenge for fun over the next 2 days. There might be a bunch of activity over the next two days on our site that should be ignored as they elected our site as a safe house for there escape. It might look a little crazy for just two days, so please just ignore and I will clean everything up Friday. Its all in the name of fun and I appreciated your understanding. @Susan Eaton @Manda Jackson @Dar Brown

@Susan Eaton @Manda Jackson please meet @Dar Brown coming in from Alaska. Dar, Manda is from Australia and Susan from New Mexico so we are getting started with a broad group of growing climates. Welcome all... this will be a great site for us to learn and share; I appreciate all your input. Merry Christmas, may you and family be filled with grace and make some great memories.
