Lucky for me this little dude seemed to be interested in the hay today.

A principle we are trying to follow is to grow 3x what we 'need' so that when local inhabitants enjoy what we planted we don't become bitter or disappointed. We are also learning what they favor and realizing that maybe I don't get to have that many annual flowers after all 🤷🏻‍♀️ Next year I'll sink less effort into them.

We are also not having luck with corn this year so we will try and start them indoors and hope the seedlings are less tempting than the kernels.

Vegan gardening means adapting!

A community for vegan gardeners to share their successes and learnings.

Vegan gardening (or veganic gardening) is gardening without the use of animal agriculture including common inputs like manure, bone and blood. It also avoids chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Instead of these elements veganic gardening uses crop rotation, mulching, compost, green manures, etc to replenish the soil and minimize loss to pests.

Everyone is welcome to participate, but if you are not vegan or a vegan gardener, please refrain from posting about non-vegan practices or debating the merit of this method.
