The Homestead Garden

There is much I want to share with you based on our gardening experience here at Boxwood—about growing through all four seasons, natural vegetable storage, growing fertility patches, beneficial insects, and a look at specific vegetable crops we like to grow. Look for more on all these subjects as I am able to do the writing. In the meantime, I offer A Few Thoughts on Organic Gardening as a good overview, even though it is a bit dated. For a more recent overview of the homestead garden, see the sections on the garden year in “Achieving Food Independence on the Modern Homestead.”.
