Ep 203. The Garden Plants that Keep Coming Back for Free

from The Homestead Challenge Podcast | Suburban Homesteading, Gardening, Food From Scratch, Sustainable Living · host Brittany Gibson - Beginner Homesteader

  In this episode of the The Homestead Challenge Podcast, we’re talking about some of the best free plants for the garden — including self-seeding flowers and herbs, volunteer plants, and perennials you can divide again and again. From calendula and dill to chives, lemon balm, and surprise tomato plants popping up from the compost, these are the kinds of plants that help your garden become more abundant every single year. If you want to garden on a budget, simplify your garden planning, or create a lower-maintenance homestead garden, this episode is full of practical ideas for busy gardeners and small-space homesteaders. We’ll also talk about why letting nature do a little of the work can make gardening feel more joyful, less expensive, and a whole lot less overwhelming.   https://thehomesteadchallenge.com/
