Anthony Anderson is back at it!!!! Spring is here for many of us, and it’s food forest time!!! I’ve been watching Anthony get this food forest in Minnesota established for a few years..and this is the year it really… POPS!!!! Stay tuned…this is going to be fun to watch!!! Thanks for all the inspiration and shared info brother…cheers…to replanting paradise!!!
If you’re interested in this type of stuff, but don’t know where to start, check out the resources Anthony provides on his permaculture resource page, by clicking here. PERMACULTURE RESOURCES.
If everyone knew how much fun this actually is…and how good you feel while doing it…these food forests would start…. blanketing the land!!! SO much abundance..for EVERYONE!!
For me, seeds are the most valuable thing…a person can have. It’s LIFE!!! They are a sacred possession..and treated sacredly.
In my opinion, it’s also…MONEY IN THE BANK..as well as food in my tummy.
I collect large amounts of seeds, in many different varieties.
In this video I just wanted to share my growing seed bank with you, and show you how I keep them safe…and extend their lives.
These are just a few companies…that I use. I’m sticking to the heirloom, organic and wild strains, that still have their genetic STRENGTH!!!
Have fun seeking out seeds that speak to you…there’s so many reasons to do this….but SEEK THEM OUT, and start stock piling. I think you’ll be happy you did.
“Seeds are like life-bombs…asymmetrical
bursts of birth/thriving/recession/and death.”
Here’s a few videos from a couple of days ago…and some pictures from a few weeks before.
The main focus right now, has been spreading TONS of compost and mulching every bed with straw. Everyone is snuggled in for winter. I’ve also been planting a bunch of starts, like cold hardy leafy greens….and a BUNCH of garlic. It’s going to be a great winter!!
The terraced beds, growing mixed veggies and herbs. Peppers, garlic, onion, basil, celery….BIG MIX
Looking down through zone 3 (the terraced beds) into zone 4 (the dome zone and fig guild) Goji Berry growing in foreground.
