Embracing the Simple Life... Body & Soul
I was born to have dirt under my fingernails and my bare feet on the ground. It is what makes me happy. Living in the city on one third of an acre had not been conducive to farming but in the summer of 2010 I decided to start a couple of rows of veggies on my front lawn. The results were amazing and the produce so delicious that in 2011, I added three more rows and planted around my mailbox and lamppost. No tiller…no digging…delicious food??? Sign me up!

Gardening by the signs has always proven to be beneficial for our family. I would imagine my grandfather mastered the Blum’s Farmer’s and Planter’s Almanac (located and published in Winston-Salem, NC) and all it had to offer. Me? Well…I am still learning but would not dream of gardening without it.
As promised here is what Mr. Almanac, as I fondly refer to ‘him’, says about gardening and the month of February:
Mr. Almanac also forecasts the weather for the month of February and it looks like this current weather pattern of wind and wet will continue throughout much of February for the Atlantic Coast so batten down the hatches.
I am thinking I will be doing a lot inside this month…planning….crocheting scarves and toboggans…cooking…cleaning out…and praying for SPRING and warmer days so I can get outside and get some dirt under these fingernails! Yep, I am just that weird…I think they call it being a ‘tomboy’ in the south~ 😉 But, hey, I can dress up with the best of ’em…it just isn’t my preference!
Always wanted to try your hand growing a ‘crazy good’ vegetable garden?It is easier than you think and February is the time to start your plans and preparations here in the Piedmont. Let me help you get started~
One more helpful tip…work your garden according to the signs. This means that I use an almanac to plant, to prune and to harvest. Watch for a post this weekend on when the ‘signs’ tell you to do these things during the month of February! May sound weird but my grandfather gardened this way and, believe me, it makes a difference!!!
And there you have it! Your February ‘To-Do’ list!!! Now all you need is the desire to feed your family foods that you KNOW is as organic as it can be and a desire to get your hands in the dirt! It does not take much space at all and you can make it visually attractive by adding annuals, bird-feeders bird-baths, pavers.
Worked in among my ‘regular’ landscape are tomato plants, rosemary, basil and asparagus. It is beautiful…so much so that my neighbors are on board and are planning their Tess’ Till-less Edibles on their front lawn this year as well! It really is contagious – especially after you share some of your fresh, organic bounty with them!!!
Happy Planning and PLANTING everyone!!!
