Our second workshop of the weekend was at the Wake Forest University student garden. Speakers from The Utopian Seed Project and Southern Exposure Seed Exchange talked to us about how to successfully save seed from different types of plants and then we spent hands-on time practicing techniques. I was very excited about this, as I have bought Southern Exposure seeds for many years, and a personal goal for me would be to become a seed saver for them someday.

Our first workshop this past weekend was at Green Heffa Farm where Farmer Cee grows tea herbs. I learned the possibilities of which herbs can be sustained in a high tunnel system that would normally die off during the cold spells of our winters. By planting in the ground in a high tunnel you are keeping the soil warm and insulated and keeping the leaves free from frosts.

Headed to this conference this weekend and so excited about it! Have picked some great topics to hear about and some farms and research departments to visit. Can't wait to implement and share what all I learn!

Morning chores can get monotonous. But just often enough a fun new season comes around- like getting to water pasture seeding in the sunrise!

Kudzu- sometimes referred to as the w**d that ate the South. While it can make our 60 foot trees look like topiaries, it is currently quite a blessing. We have not seen rain in weeks and the pastures are just about bare. Turns out kudzu is very high in protein. So twice a day we head to the very edge of the property and yank down enough vines to fill the Gator. I am thankful for this "w**d" that is currently sustaining our cattle!

Next year's basil plants! When your basil goes to flower, leave the flower heads on one plant to collect next year's seed. The tiny black seeds form inside little pockets under the flowers. There are multiple ways to collect them as they dry and every plant gives a ton so share with friends and they, too, can have their own plants next year!

Two reasons I love late summer/fall gardening... most of the heat and the bugs are gone! It's not too late in most climates to get in some greens, carrots, turnips, and other cool weather crops. Give them at least six weeks before your first frost date and most will even take a light frost.
These are our yardlong beans and zucchini plants I started 4 weeks ago. They germinated in 4 days, are thriving and there has been less heat pressure and absolutely no borers. These will both carry through to the first frost and produce abundantly.

Come join us! My oldest daughter who used to do spinning presentations at a living history farm when she was younger will be dusting off her skills and showing you the basics to get you started. The wool from some of our sheep is washed and ready...and she will show you how to take it from there!
