Henbit (Lamium amplexicaule) and Purple Deadnettle (Lamium purpureum) are two non-native “weeds” introduced from Eurasia that you’re probably seeing a lot of right now. Clumps of these winter to early spring annuals often grow alongside each other in lawns, roadsides, parking lots, disturbed areas, and fallow fields. Many people get them confused with each other. They’re both in the mint family (Family Lamiaceae; notice the square stems) and they have very similar small, pink flowers. To tell Henbit and Purple Deadnettle apart, just look for the features in the picture.

For more details on each species, scroll down this page to view my recent posts on each plant. Although some pollinators visit Henbit and Purple Deadnettle, native plants provide a far greater benefit to wildlife given the co-adaptations between native wildlife and native plants. My recent posts on these two plants have suggestions for native plants you can add to your landscape to benefit native pollinators, caterpillars, songbirds, and other wildlife.

Redbuds are finally blooming here in the Ozarks! The beautiful flowers, young seed pods and seeds are edible raw or cooked. Raw the flowers remind me of a sweet pea, which makes sense since they're in the pea family. Nutritionally, the flowers high in Vitamin C and antioxidants. The seeds are 25% protein, 8% fat and full of their own healthful antioxidants. Mature seeds were often roasted by the Natives. I love to toss the raw flowers into salads, baked goods, freeze them in ice cubes and make naturally bright red jelly. The young soft seed pods and leaves are nice additions to any dish that calls for greens.

Happy Foraging Friends!

A WAY TO PLANT ENOUGH FOR YOUR FAMILY

It has become more important than ever for You to be able to grow at least part of what You and Your Family eat on a yearly basis. Big factors are the many chemicals and pesticides used on vegetables and fruits in the grocery stores, the rising food prices we are all seeing, and the instability we have seen throughout the world, and in our own Country. We are in a very uncertain time in our Countries history, and we need to be prepared.

Many Families, like yours, are now growing their own Home Gardens--much like our Grandparents and Great Grandparents
did with their Victory Gardens years ago. They grew their own Food, Saved their Heirloom Seeds, and were very Self-Sufficient.

The chart below gives you a good idea of how much of each Seed variety or plant you will need to grow per person, based on picking and eating them fresh. If you plan on Canning or freezing your Veggies to get thru the year, you will need to plant more. I would suggest you multiply the amount listed by 3 - 4.

Seeds or plants per 100-ft. row is the recommended amount or number to use for proper spacing and growth. Estimated yield per 100-ft. row is based on optimum growth, so it could be different from Family to Family. If you don't plant in 100-ft rows, then you can divide the amounts down to the size you do plant. So if you have a 5' x 4' raised bed ( 20 sq ft ), you would just divide the 100' results by 5 .

FOR OPTIMUM YIELDS, YOU WILL WANT TO:
1) Start Off with fresh viable Heirloom Seeds 2) Use a good Compost/Soil mixture 3) Maintain Fertility 4) Provide enough water 4) Use Mulch 5) Control Pests ( insects, and the furry types) Companion Plants are a good way to control and deter pests, while staying Organic.

Good Healthy HEIRLOOM SEEDS will make all the difference when you need that Big Yield at harvest time. At THE SEED GUY, we have a great Heirloom Seed package that has 60 Heirloom Seed Varieties, 33,000 total Seeds, all Non GMO and Good Pricing at $89. They are all full sized packets.

You get 49 Veggie varieties and 11 Herb varieties. You would definitely be able to Feed Your Family with this Seed package, and you can store the Seeds you don't use right away in the 10 x 14 silver mylar bag we provide. All Heirloom Seeds are Small Farm-Grown, tested at 90 - 93% germination, and they are Fresh from the New Fall 2023 Harvest.

A brilliant little chart that could help you with succession-sowing this year! The tip on using radish seeds mixed with carrots and parsnips is clever, too. The quick-germinating radishes will help you see where the slower-germinating carrots and parsnips are planted. Plus you'll get an extra crop in the same space ✌💚
