Open-Pollinated Garden

This is the year I am making the transition to open-pollinated / heirloom varieties in the garden with the idea in mind to begin saving seeds. I consider it an important matter of food security to be able to save viable seed from a crop. It will also allow me to select seed from plants that do well right here in the Grand Prairie. AND there are some REALLY exciting heirloom varieties out there!

I'm continuing with the low-tech approach in the garden this year(with the exception of plastic). After toying with it on a small scale for a couple of seasons I tried it on a larger scale last year. I only committed to it for one year because I was unsure how it would go but even before last season ended I knew I would stick with the low-tech approach for another year. I can't imagine doing it any different next year but for now I'll just take it one season at a time.

Need some fresh air and exercise? Come join me in the garden! I'll be looking for help all season! Email jake @ grandprairiefood.com for more details.
