Better Starts for a Better Harvest

If you start with plants grown from synthetic fertilizer, you are unknowingly setting yourself up to fail. It’s like giving a kid candy for dinner every night; they’re always going to want the sweet candy. Once you stop giving the candy, there’s going to be a meltdown. Synthetic chemicals like store-bought fertilizer are plant candy. Worse, using more will ruin your soil and run off into your yard. Set yourself up for success by growing your own plants from seed, buying from a local organic farmer such as those at your farmers’ market, or let me do the growing for you with locally grown, regionally adapted plants.
