Ellen, I love that you're taking an easier approach this year. I'm trying this year to do more winter sowing so I don't have to rely on my grow lights this year for as many of my crops. And I love your 80/20 rule, and also your intent to grow heirlooms and from smaller purveyors. I was a customer and a huge fan of The Cook's Garden, and I love your dedication to growing food. Thanks for everything you've done for the gardening community, and for continuing to share your growing adventures. I hope your greens grow well for you this year! ❤️
This shift to simplicity makes alot of sense. Focusing on cold-hardy greens that self-seed with minimal fuss is a smart way to reduce stress while still getting good yields. I started doing succession planting for leafy stuff a couple years ago and honestly the continuous small harvests work way better than trying to time everything perfectly like I used too.
lovely piece. I pivoted to easy gardening two summers ago after a brutal heat wave and never looked back. It felt like a quiet shift from control to cooperation.
