The hour-per-day gardening project continues. It has been two months since my last update to this project. Unfortunately, I haven’t been as diligent as I’d like to have been, as the Sustainability Skill Share was coming up on June 1 and 2. Since then, it has been a busy time, getting starts transplanted in the … More Striving Towards Hour-Per-Day Gardening
The hour-per-day gardening project continues. Spring is the busiest time of year, followed by fall harvesting. With the addition a part of our neighbor’s plot, we have more work and space than ever. It has been cool and a little wet, but dry enough to get some seeds in the ground. The Neighbor’s Plot This … More Hour-Per-Day Gardening Continues
We have a big garden and try to grow an increasing percentage of our own food. We’ve still got potatoes and some canned vegetables from last year in the larder. People often comment on how large the garden is and how much work and time it must take to keep up, so again this year, … More One-Hour-Per-Day Gardening is Back
The one-hour-a-day gardening project continues and my partner and I worked 11:00 hours in the last two weeks, bringing the season’s total average to 0:37, but some harvests (peas) are coming up and more beds need to be prepped. These last two weeks have been busy with picking raspberries and weeding beds, but frankly it … More Last Weeks in One-Hour Gardening

These last two weeks have been busy with weeding, establishing more beds, and harvesting. These Last Weeks My hybrid … More Last Weeks in One-Hour Gardening
I’m running behind on my one-hour-a-day gardening, the project in which I try to quantify my time spent growing a majority of our food. I had the opportunity to visit Portland, OR. An amazing city in terms of bike lanes and sustainability within our current system. More on that soon. Otherwise, I was busy in … More Last Weeks in One-Hour Gardening
I’m continuing my one-hour-a-day gardening. The idea is to quantify my time spent growing a majority of our food. I was pulled away last week for a family issue in New Mexico. What a beautiful environment and the complete opposite of here: dry and hot. It made me think about how I would adapt my … More Last Weeks in One-Hour Gardening
A few weeks ago, I introduced my idea to quantify my gardening hours this year so people can understand how much or little time it takes to grow a majority of one’s own food. I’m calling it hour-a-day gardening, because that’s the goal: spending an average of an hour a day in the garden and … More Last Week in One-Hour Gardening
We have a big garden and try to grow an increasing percentage of our own food. Our 2017 potatoes have just run out, for example. People often comment on how large the garden is and how much work and time it must take to keep up, so this year, I am working to quantify this … More One-Hour-Per-Day Gardening
