SFH 2018 Plantings

At Serendipity Farmhouse there are two gardens dedicated to edible plants and herbs. There is also a wild flower garden that has room for edible plants if the need arises. Additionally, there are several apple trees, a fig tree, and several strawberry plants scattered throughout the yard. This year, we expanded the herb garden and added flowers to it to add color and deter harmful bugs.

This will be a year of experimentation and we intend to plant new varieties of vegetables and herbs. We will record the success of these experiments, judging by productivity, taste, and several other factors. In this way, we hope improve the gardens year-by-year

During 2018, the following actions were taken and items were planted in the three gardens:
