Heirloom Seed Swap
Johnny Max and the Queen over at the Self Sufficient Homestead have just launched their free seed swapping website: Heirloom Seed Swap!
Head over there and sign up today. We’ll likely be putting some of our seed up there later this season.
Great job Johnny Max and the Queen, and thanks for providing such a powerful resource to the community!
Garden Harvest
Laura and I take some feedback, pontificate spring preps, talk about gardening, beekeeping, and other springtime activities. Laura would like to apologize for mistakenly referring to the Brandywine Tomato as a “Rutgers”.

I somehow talk Laura into doing another show where we throw out some updates on the dog, seed starting, and the bees. We take some great feedback, including an actual voicemail! We finally wrap the show up by reading some of the better ads out of the market bulletin.

A real treat for you guys today. I get my beautiful wife and garden diva, Laura, in on the podcast action. We go through some updates, catch you up on the latest weimaraner suicide attempt, talk about a pending new addition to the farm, take some great feedback, and finally break the hour mark talking about seeds and gardening.

I’ve been a fan of The Survival Podcast for some time, but I believe that this episode is perhaps the best one ever. So much so, that I thought it was worth blogging about. If this one can’t get you inspired, then you might need to check your pulse.
Even if you’re not a survivalist, Jack really brings home the reasons why every tomato, apple, or bean that you grow is critically important, how it is your key to freedom, and why growing your own food is the most dangerous and revolutionary thing you can do. (Oh yeah – and he does it much more eloquently than I could.)
Even if you never listen to another podcast again, you need to hear this one. And then you need to plant a fruit tree and spread the word.

Thank you Jack.

One of the perks of keeping bees is that your plants get heavily pollinated. Here’s a blackberry bush that sits about 100 feet from 7 hives in my back yard. It never had a chance. We’ve already picked pounds of berries off this plant, and it looks like it’s not giving up anytime soon.
I’m thinking blackberry jam! Yummy!
