Spring Garden in Utah

If you want to start your crops inside now is the time! Use your window seals, a little green house or any warm light to get started (TIP below). Spring weather in Utah can be unpredictable. But you can start today.

Gordon Wells course and book has everything you need to know step by step.
Larry and I went to the classes. We have followed his book closely for the last year.  We had tons of big yummy tomatoes  last season and the year before. We watered like he suggested. We fertilized like he suggested. Larry's Spring and Fall broccoli was a success. He also planted the variety of strawberry's and asparagus Gorden suggested. They have been beyond great!

His book includes the right crop variety for our soil and weather. How to fertilize. How to water. Exactly what you need for your Spring and Fall crops.
 Right now we have peas, lettuce and broccoli growing. They will be ready for transplant between March-April

TIP OF THE DAY- DON'T THROW AWAY CLEAR PLASTIC CONTAINERS WITH LIDS.  FOR EXAMPLE IN THE PHOTO YOU CAN SEE THE SQUARE CONTAINER.   BULK SPINACH OR LETTUCE ARE SOLD IN THEM.   USE THESE TO PUT YOUR PLANTS IN.   PUT ON THE LID AND YOU HAVE A SUPER GREEN HOUSE. ALSO SAVE YOUR MILK JUGS. THEY MAKE A GREAT SHIELD OVER CROPS WHEN YOU PLANT THEM OUTSIDE.

Let me state this clearly so that there’s no mistaking the importance of this news. This has NEVER happened before in our history.  So, in closing, I firmly believe that it’s time that we start giving ourselves a “pass” on not being more frugal, more focused, in taking measures to stabilize our food budget.  I also suggest that you make friends with your window sills, backyards, and patio space and learn to grow your own overpriced tomatoes, asparagus, etc. I also suggest that you learn why wheat is such an important commodity and why it needs to be in your home. There are certainly plenty of articles that I’ve shared in the past on this matter.
