Hi, my name is Jack and I am a seed addict.  I have tried to get this monkey off my back for decades now.  Every year about Christmas time when the mid shifts to getting ready for spring I say something like this to myself, “This year I am just going to grow the 10 or so things that do really well with very little work for us that we use a lot of.  Just like my grand paw used to do”. About that time the dealers “pull me back in” and one of the worst offenders of the bunch … Continue reading →

Joseph Simcox was awesome on yesterday’s show and after talking to him I looked up more of his stuff.  I found this amazing 3 part garden tour on YouTube and listened to all of it and selected 12 plants inspired by it for today’s show. This stuff is right up my alley and I know it is for many of you.  While you have heard me talk about some of these before many of them are brand new to TSP for sure.  Finding a new plant that provides food, fiber, medicine, etc. is like finding a new gem.  In many … Continue reading →

The typical story about disease and vegetables is something like this from the all natural crowd…. Just use compost and good organic fertility, build good soil and it won’t be a problem. Yea, um, about that, look good soil, good fertility and abundant soil life and minerals go a long way to healthy plants, but they don’t eliminate all diseases.  Some of my beans are developing a fungus referred to as rust this year.  Why?  It is so much wetter then normal.  The same beds are growing jalapenos the size of cigars, there is nothign wrong with the soil.

I get a lot of questions from people who are looking to start plants from seeds vs. buying plants at the nursery.  Many people struggle with seed starting for a variety of reasons so I am dedicating most of today’s show to help you master the skill of taking tiny seeds and turning them into food and medicine producing plants. The reality is starting seeds can be frustrating if you don’t do it correctly but it doesn’t have to be difficult as long as you follow the blueprint Mother Nature has laid out for us.  Once you do that starting … Continue reading →
