How was your plant swap event?

@Tyner Michelle That's great to hear. Keep me posted on the next one and I'll share it on all my social channels.

@Tyner Michelle That is awesome to hear. I'd like to come over and capture some footage at some point.

I'll put it in the list of topics to address. Thanks.

I start as many plants as possible indoors in August and wait for the hard rains to slow before planting in the ground in September. Also, I use raised beds to allow for drainage. When you are planning your garden spot, make sure you take into account what the soil conditions are in September. We’ve had some heavy rains the past couple weeks and my lower pasture where the cows are get really water logged. If I was going to garden in the spot, I’d need to dig a pond and raise some specific spots. As for major storm and hurricanes, growing bushes and other perennial food forest plants around your vegetable garden can help slow the wind down and reduce damage to plants. If you are always doing new starts, you can replace plants that don’t make it after the storm.

You can replant them and grow more starts for next year.
