As I was planning out my gardens and doing all that tweaking in the garden house, I was also mixing the potting mix that I use to sow seeds. Then, I got to thinking that this soil recipe would be great for today’s quick tip.

It’s a recipe I only wish I had come up with myself, it’s what all the great gardeners use, and those like me that aspire to be. I learned this tip from my gardening friend, and I’ve also read up and collected the benefits of making your own potting mix. A tried and true potting mixture that promotes strong and plentiful plants. Say that 10 times fast. Once the ingredients are gathered, it takes just a minute or two to mix and then you’re off to the races. Here’s how to make the potting mix I use for sowing seeds.

Let’s Talk Dirty!

The garden gear up has begun here at Farmhouse 1820. It’s this time of year when I welcome the consuming thoughts of planning out my gardens, and I have some great ideas in store. I do need a little advice from you though. Come on in and weigh in your thoughts. I would love to hear.

Every year when January rolls around, I start pouring over my gardening and seed catalogs and begin planning my garden. It’s like, Christmas is over, let’s go straight to spring. But alas, it doesn’t quite work that way, yet in the meantime during the winter months I wait, I have something to look forward to.

Have you started to plan out your garden yet? Are you anxious to get planting and doing a little garden dreaming? You’re in luck because it’s time to sow seeds now for growing leeks.

Happy New Year! Boy, did I need a little break. And I took one, although a little longer than I projected, for no specific reason really. I guess I was just restoring my juju, thinking about all that we accomplished here at the 1820 this past year, and started dreaming ahead of what we’d like to accomplish in 2021, with some serious Netflix binge watching tossed in there.
I love a good review, don’t you?! A good refresher of some really great design and decor ideas, along with some really FAB recipes! Well, I have all that and then some!!

Here is the Farmhouse 1820 year in review, along with looking ahead.
