Growing free bean plants from store-bought Lima beans... Also known as “butter beans” for their creamy texture, Lima beans have been cultivated for over 7,000 years. These world-traveling beans thrive in warm climates and are rich in iron, making them a great addition to any meal.
If you’re a backyard grower who loves variety over quantity, this fruit-growing method is for you! It’s called Backyard Orchard Culture. By pruning your trees in the summer to keep them manageable, planting them closer together, and selecting varieties that ripen at different times, you’ll enjoy a steady supply of delicious, diverse fruit throughout the season.
Figs are one of the easiest fruit trees to propagate, and with so many varieties available, it’s a great way to introduce new flavors to your garden. Simply take a 6-inch cutting, place it in potting mix in a warm spot, and it will almost certainly root. Once established, you can plant your new tree or even graft it onto an existing fig tree for a fun ‘fig fruit salad’ effect. For a full fig pruning guide, check out our video on the Epic Gardening YouTube channel. 📺🌱
Among all the systems we’ve set up at the Epic Homestead, the rain capture system is hands down my favorite. While the design has changed over time, the idea stays the same: capturing, filtering, and directing rainwater into a holding tank, ready to be pumped wherever it’s needed for irrigation. I’ll admit, it’s not always more affordable than city water, but the self-sufficiency it offers is invaluable. Plus, many cities offer rebate programs, so be sure to explore your options before getting started!
Grew a bed of mustard… just to chop it down. Battling nematodes and gophers this season, so I’m using this plant as a natural pest fighter. Hope this sacrifice keeps the pests at bay. 🛡️ #garden
