Fires are Burning - Farm & Garden Health

edible gardening academy farm girl food security through gardening garden classes garden consulting gardens ease food shortages louisville ky Jan 31, 2025

Reflecting upon your personal journey is so important. In the moment we don't always know if we are making the right decision.

Twenty years ago I walked away from a life of booze and smoke.

Eighteen years ago personal health problems led me to local food and farms.

I learned how badly damaged our modern food and farm systems are. One that has chosen monoculture over biodiversity. One that has adopted chemical fertilizers and pesticides over good soil management.

Government subsidies for "field crops" like soy, corn, and wheat have burdened our bodies, our land, and our economies.

Sixteen years ago I walked away from corporate America to pursue local farm work.

Local systems use sustainable, ethical practices. They value good stewardship and honor natural ecosystems.

Fourteen years ago i opened a farm business to nurture my soul and serve my higher power.

Sometimes we make drastic changes that don't always lead to a clear place. Doors open and you just keep walking.

How to Plant Strawberries in Kentucky

Strawberry plants are in! It’s time to get your garden soil prepared and plants in place.

Go ahead and work in your winter cover crop (green manure) to be sure it’s broken down properly prior to planting. If you are starting with bare soil, go ahead and cultivate to remove any weeds or emerging weeds from the space. Don’t pre-fertilize the soil for strawberries. If you find that your soil isn’t providing your strawberry plants adequate fertilizer after planting (plants aren't dark green), it’s best to side dress with cottonseed meal 4-6 weeks after planting.

If you receive bear root plants prior to your planting date keep them refrigerated in plastic. If you receive them and are ready to plant, keep the roots wet by placing them in a water bucket prior to planting.

Once soil is ready to plant (not soaking wet or dusty dry) lay the plants out 1-2 ft apart. Use a trowel or to move the soil part to make adequate space for the roots to stretch out. Don’t compact the

As a former Kentucky farmer, I take it seriously when friends DM me about food shortages happening in their area.

And I’m embarrassed to say, that I’ve lost touch with the reason I started growing food in the first place. You may be familiar with it's romantic appeal. It swept me away a long time ago.

I started growing food to make a difference in my community.

To provide quality food choices in my area, and in my home.

To contribute to local food production for local food security.

Like many, I feel in love with the art & craft of edible gardening and left the problem behind me.

And now with the supply chains breaking down due to labor shortages, COVID-19, shut downs, etc - the problem is front and center again.

Everyone is beginning to feel the strain and frustration of unavailable products and services.

Some communities have been experiencing this lack for decades. In other areas, the scarcity on grocery shelves is s
