There’s a rhythm to a farming operation that most people never see. You don’t just walk out one morning and start planting. The harvest you want in October starts with decisions made in January.

Starting today, Gardener of Life is running a full year of seed posts – 52 weeks, three pillars, every Monday a food and diet question, every Wednesday something from the health and wellness side, every Friday a look at the tools and technology that hold it all together. Friday’s post this week goes deeper on the technology side, if that’s your territory.

Not a curriculum. Not a program. Just one farmer’s attempt to pay attention to what’s actually working, week by week, and write it down honestly.

I’ve got no idea what week 47 looks like yet. That’s the point.

From the Field: The best crop plans I ever made left room for what the weather was going to do. Same principle here.

These are observations from one retired dirt farmer — not prescriptions.

William questions everything, including his own opinions.

Curiosity and humility over authority and certainty.

The reader is always the final decision-maker.
