Hi! I’m Carolyn Scott-Hamilton. From what is shared on The Healthy Voyager, there are a few core “signature” approaches I really stand behind for organic veggie gardens:
- Prioritize living soil: Skip synthetic fertilizers like Miracle-Gro and use organic soil, compost, and manures to support the soil food web rather than short-term plant “boosts.”
- Right plant, right place: Choose locations with adjustable light (shade for winter greens, more sun for summer crops like tomatoes).
- Grow simple, productive staples: Cool-season lettuces in winter (even in window boxes), then easy, “forgiving” crops like tomatoes and beans in spring.
- Harvest mindfully: Take outer leaves from lettuces and other leafy veggies so the plant keeps producing.
- Experiment without fear: Read, try, share with other gardeners, and treat every season as a learning lab rather than aiming for perfection.
Are you gardening in a backyard, balcony, or indoors right now?
