Watermelon is one of those crops that, once you grow it at home, the store-bought version forever pales in comparison. Some backyard gardeners shy away from growing watermelon because of how much space it takes up, but the benefits can be worth it - not to mention that the fun of a good seed spitting competition is a dying art form.

If you’ve been gardening for a while, you’ve probably grown tomatoes from starts purchased from a nursery or hardware store. Starting your own tomato seeds indoors might seem a little daunting, but growing from seed...

A fresh salad straight out of the garden is one of the first joys of the spring season that gardeners can look forward to each year. Most greens are quick growing and easy to take care of, and reward us with great nutrition and zesty flavor. Once you grow your own salads, you’ll find it hard to go back to grocery store greens.
The main focus of The Utopian Seed Project, the nonprofit that Chris founded and runs, is research on Southern heirloom crops and tropical perennials that could be adapted for Southern agriculture. Chris is not a production seed grower, but an explorer and experimenter, and most of the work he does for Sow True is trials and small seed increases.
Begin sowing carrots as soon as the soil can be worked in late winter/early spring. Continue to sow every 7-10 days until late spring to ensure a continuous harvest. In some areas of the country, fall sowings can be possible, but keep in mind that they may not have enough sunlight to mature before winter sets in. No harm though! With patience, they should finish growing as the days start to lengthen in spring.
