Watch (and learn!) as Lynn Gillespie—an organic farmer for over 25 years and owner of The Living Farm in Paonia, CO—plans, plants, tends, and harvests a high-performance garden.
Lynn has a unique “learn along with me” garden teaching system. You will actually get to see everything she does in her garden for the entire season. Will she make it? Will the bugs get everything? Will the deer destroy her plants? Will sudden freezes or the burning summer sun wipe her out?
Lynn’s goal for her garden is to produce enough food so that she can eat something she’s grown every day for a year.
Follow along with the ups and downs of this experienced gardener. It will be just like being in the garden with her!

Episode 24: “Sowing Kale for the Winter”
This week, Lynn feeds the heavy and light feeders. It is so important to feed the garden toward the end of the season to give the maturing fruits an extra boost. Lynn also transplants more lettuce and sows more kale for the winter. “I am feeling really good about all the food I have preserved, and I am well on my way to eating every day out of this garden for the whole year,” Lynn says.

The Grow Network is a global network of people who produce their own food and medicine. We’re the coolest bunch of backyard researchers on Earth! We’re constantly sharing, discovering, and working together to test new paths for sustainable living—while reconnecting with the “old ways” that are slipping away in our modern world. We value soil, water, sunlight, simplicity, sustainability, usefulness, and freedom. We strive to produce, prepare, and preserve our own food and medicine, and we hope you do, too!

I have raised ducks(as sluggers and for eggs) and pigs for over ten years and they have always eaten food scraps from my table and garden…until now. My ducks are Muscovy and they will not eat any greens though all my other ducks loved them! My 2 pigs are Herford and they also will not eat any garden produce including watermelon rinds! What? Are the animals losing the ability to know what real food is and preferring only feed? I would love some insight. Thank you!
