Starting your garden
- Find your hardiness zone (and check out the plant calendar tool) Here in Lewisburg, we have a hardiness zone of 6b
- Take some time to learn more about what you’re planting and their needs
- Prepare your soil and remember that compost and organic matter are your friends!
- Take an experimental mindset and don’t be too hard on yourself if things don’t work out as planned, especially if you’re new to gardening!
Minimizing food waste
- Remember to focus on growing what you know you like to eat and expand and experiment based on what works for you!
- Roast anything and everything to make it tasty
- No, you don’t have to eat all those tomatoes at once! Find out what you can preserve and how
- Reach out to friends or other gardeners to find harvest buddies who might be growing different things that you can swap with!
- Share with friends, neighbors, or using the free shelf at the garden!
