How to Grow Food Guide
**Set up your growing space in No Dig style by layering cardboard, 6 inches of compost and woodchips in the pathway. (see Backyard Farm Launchpad for how to set this up yourself!)
**Buy the following seeds at True Leaf Market bit.ly/TrueLeafMarketProvident -- Carrots (4 oz), Turnips (1 oz), Radishes (1 oz), Spinach (15 g), Beets (4 oz), Zucchini (7 g), Cucumber (3 g), Kale (1 oz), Bunching Onions (.25 oz), Parsley (3 g)
**Sow weeks before/after the last frost in your climate Carrots (2 before), Turnips (2 before), Radishes (2 before), Spinach (2 before), Beets (2 before), Zucchini (1 after), Cucumber (1 after), Kale (4 before), Bunching Onions (4 before), Parsley (8 before)
**Water with Wobbler sprinkler amzn.to/4fKYT0U for 2 hours 1-3 times a week if no rain and multiple times only if 90°F or above.
**As you harvest each spring planting, re-sow a new crop for fall in the same space. (See fall planting calendar below) THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP. DOUBLE YOUR FOOD IN THE SAME SPACE.
