S3 E3: Seed Shortages & Basement Seedlings...

With the events of the past year, there have been certain items that have become even more essential for everyday life.  While things like toilet paper and hand sanitizer flew off the shelves, one unforeseen item sold out quicker than expected. Due to both higher demand and restrictions on production, seeds have been selling out way ahead of schedule.  In today's episode, we dig into the process of planning, purchasing, and preparing your seeds for use in your garden.  Learn the process of sprouting your seeds and why your garden zone influences everything, including both when and what you can plant.  I also share how I've been able to save thousands of dollars over the year simply by starting my own plants in my basement.  No matter your level of expertise, there is sure to be something for you in this jam-packed episode!A BIG shout-out to our podcast sponsor this month— True Leaf Market! http://theprairiehomestead.com/seedsThey are one of my most-favorite seed companies specializing in organic, heirloom seeds with hundreds of varieties to pick from!

Have you felt it? Something is rippling through humanity at this moment. It's a stirring... a longing... a remembering. A sense that we are more capable than we’ve been led to believe. We want to feel alive, not sedated.. but we've lost our way. We've traded a life intertwined with nature for asphalt and artificial lights. We've swapped natural movement for a sedentary existence. We've given up food from the earth in favor of food from the factory. We've sacrificed our traditional skillsets for apps and gadgets. But while our overdose on modernity may have made us sick, there is an antidote. Join best-selling author and mentor, Jill Winger, each week as she digs into a different facet of the old-fashioned on purpose lifestyle.
