Mills Family Gardening
Добавлен 28 июн 2015
We fell in love with gardening in 2010 after we watched a documentary about conventional food, and realized that we needed to have our own organic garden. We didn't know what we were doing and failed a lot. Reading a lot of articles online and watching videos about gardening gave us a better idea of how to improve. And we are still in the process of learning. So what started as an effort to simply eat clean, organic food, turned into an exciting adventure of discovering the secrets and wonders of nature and being constantly in awe of how balanced our ecosystem is, that God thoughtfully designed for us.
The WINTER SOWING method for a garden
Winter sowing is a creative method to extend your gardening season in cold weather by creating a sort of miniature greenhouse. This video explains when and how to winter sow, keeping in mind things like watering, ventilation, and handling extreme temperatures to keep your seedlings alive. One great advantage of this method is that once your seedlings are ready to transplant, you can plant them straight into the ground without a need to harden them off.

Blueberries can grow in a wide range of growing zones, and can tolerate freezing temperatures. Here in North Texas, Zone 8a, we have two blueberry plants in containers.
