Always learning …and from a diversity of knowledge bases and experts. I’ve got gratitude for extension programs like CSU’s Green School, and I have deep appreciation for knowledge passed along from indigenous wisdom and growers who have been cultivating their expertise much longer than I have.

Now back to putting this growing knowledge and skill base of mine to work!

Last night, I had the honor of connecting with two brilliant gardening and food justice advocates - students of .snow.bike.sea’s 4th grade class.

Take a peek at what these advocates had to say about the importance of growing our own gardens, and then drop a comment that I can share back with them.

I know they’d love to hear what the rest of our , , and communities have to say about their research and message.

It took me a few years of gardening before I discovered how amazing calendula is, visually, medicinally, and as part of an organic pest control system.

If you’re not growing calendula yet, I highly recommend tucking some between most vegetables. Just avoid planting with beans, brassicas, or in shady spots, as they love sun.

This year, I’ll be adding calendula as a flower variety I plant with tomatoes alongside nasturtium and marigolds.

This year, I am expanding the benefits of companion planting. My medicinal herbs and flowers will no longer reside in their own, separate bed. Instead they will be tucked among the veggies in my other beds so that their additionally beneficial, organic pest control benefits can work their magic.

This sage, for example, is getting tucked near my lettuces and cabbage to ward off those pesky cabbage moths. I’d tuck sage near my broccoli too if I didn’t already have a battalion of onions planted there for the same purpose.

I gone too long overlooking the positive impacts that growing yarrow can have. This year, a few of these will get tucked in between veggie plants in ways that I’ve done (and will continue to do) with nasturtium and marigolds.

Wanna get your hands on some yarrow starts and live in the Denver area? They’ll be among the plants available in our next market on May 18th.

We will have some tomato starts ready for our Saturday afternoon market. If you grab some, just need sure to keep them inside in enough light for about another month before you plant them outdoors.

6 more days until our first market happening from 12pm-5pm on Saturday, April 20th. (In full transparency, I’ve got no 4/20-related plants for sale 🌿). But there will be plant starts, most of which can be planted outdoors for the veggie garden. Seeds saved from last year and garden-therapy journals will also need available. If you’re local to the East Denver or Aurora area and would like to come through, drop a comment and I’ll send you our address.

Brassicas, Greens, Lettuces, and Onions are down with seeds for carrots, turnips, radishes, and beets directly sown. And finally this year I figured out the DIY drip-irrigation set up - felt like a rite of passage, I’m not gonna lie.

But that’s how we grow and learn, right? 12 years or so I’ve been at this with the last 5 years digging in and expanding the space and skill set - acquiring knowledge and skills and growing more confident with each experience.

Do you know someone who’s interested in growing their own food, but is doubting themselves? Real talk…send them to the story here of our 1st Ave Farm.

** DID YOU SEE YESTERDAY’S GARDEN THERAPY JOURNAL ANNOUNCEMENT?**

One section of the journal invites us to think about the relationship between the work that goes into preservation and the need for all life to pause and rest in the winter.

Accompanied by another dozen sections that mirror the elements of a garden growing season, this journal is a great gift for yourself and your favorite gardeners.

Grab one for yourself and a friend by clicking the link in our bio.
