It’s planting season, dontcha know!? And it’s been a busy one so far!
It might be a surprise that the coldest season is actually one of the best times for planting! Plants are dormant and don’t experience the same degree of transplant shock and they have all of winter to get settled into their new space before spring pops!
Jason has been busy planting a variety of exciting edible landscapes including a 10 tree apple orchard (with 10 different varieties) a polyculture food forest of 60+ edible plant varieties, and a foundation planting which substitutes edible plants for traditional landscaping ones.
Every planting project is unique because each site and land owner are one-of-a-kind. That’s truly the most fun part of the job… Piecing together the client’s vision and working with the sun, soil, and microclimates of each plot. Whether it’s a small project or a large one, the satisfaction comes from seeing it all click into place and knowing that year after year, it’ll just get bigger, better, and more bountiful. Exactly what growing your own food is all about!
