My Garden is RUINING My Life!

My garden is ruining my life, and I need to scale back. It has become too large and productive to manage, and I don't have the capacity to be homesteading full-time. I share the knowledge I've gained over the last decade to increase harvests, preserve and store food and minimize garden chores, but also manage plant addiction without going overboard.

I moved to the Southeast in 2017. When I started gardening here, my world was rocked. Despite a lifetime gardening up North, the torrential rain, humidity and heat of the South killed my garden every summer. Rather than quit gardening, I decided to figure out why my garden was dying, and I've implemented solutions to manage heat, humidity and rainfall. The results are incredible.

My garden is so productive, I cannot manage the massive harvests and must scale back. My goal is to grow less plants and reduce harvests to a more manageable size, but I also recognize that I have a plant addiction and growing less is difficult for me. I share all the gardening tips I've learned over the years, but also share the ugly truth of what happens when you go overboard.
