There’s nothing like growing your own food—heading to the garden or farm and letting what’s at its peak inspire your next meal. The pride of enjoying what you’ve grown, or eating it right in the field, is unmatched. This is a space for growers and farmers to share what’s working, what’s not, and learn from each other. I’m entering my ninth season as a full-time farmer in Rhode Island and can’t wait to grow alongside you.

Setting the Table for Your Garden: Whether you grow in containers, raised beds, or the ground, success starts with preparation. We’ll cover soil tilth, simple nutrition using compost and all-purpose mixes, watering plans that fit your site, and easy weed suppression strategies—so your garden is set up to thrive before you ever plant a seed 🌱

Your site is prepped. You have a plan. Next up: planting. The first 24 hours after planting matter more than most people realize. Getting a few key things right during this window can dramatically improve plant viability and reduce transplant stress.

This space holds all charts, spacing guides, and planting recommendations in one easy place. Start here anytime you feel unsure — clarity beats guessing. 🌱 Seed or Transplant Decision Chart 📏 Spacing, Timing & Harvest Guide
