How to Grow Your Own Food

Aug 31 2008

I have a blackberry bush in my garden that has been growing a little wild on it’s own. It’s all over the place as you can see in the picture above. Now I would still like to have many blackberries year after year so I’ll have to prune it. A blackberry bears fruit on one year old wood so in the winter you cut away the branches that carried fruit this year. Keep two new strong branches to carry the fruit next year.

Just wanted to show you what the weather conditions are like on average in my area:


Usually we have a wet and windy fall and most of the snow falls in January and February. There’s not that much heat around here, so growing oranges are out of the question and melons are difficult. But we’re not too far north to justify transporting our food from far away on trucks. This is not the north pole. If it was that hard to grow our own food maybe we should consider moving further down south. Who said we should live up here anyway… The oil companies?
