“Gardens Across Iowa!”; an Urban Gardening Movement

 by Sondra Wilson. Last updated 9/21/2023.

   To prepare for “Gardens Across America”, we are modeling the movement with Gardens Across Iowa!  It’s a tear-up-the-grassroots movement!!

Gardening Made Simple:

Here is a link to our Gardens Across Iowa Google Calendar (scroll to 2024 to view entries) which is being compiled to include:

• Precise dates to plant various garden crops. This includes dates to begin germinating certain crops indoors, when to transplant them, and when to plant crops which are sewn directly into the soil.  All dates throughout the Calendar were calculated according to Iowa’s frost date, April 20.
• Step-by-step directions for planting and caring for a large variety of plants.  Want us to add something?  Email [email protected].

To help us continue building this publicly-accessible resource, please donate to Wild Willpower.

Disclaimer: Data compiled throughout the Calendar is being broadcast for legitimate First Amendment purposes in accordance with Fair Use laws. The Calendar is a work in progress and just became live on 9/21/2023. There are fixes and improvements which need to be made throughout.

Coming Soon:

  Soon Wild Willpower PAC will have Homesteading Starter Kits for sale.  Instead of buying separate seed packets,then researching how to grow each plant, each of our kits each contain seeds and instructions for at least three different companion plants together.

• “Cold Frame kit”  – broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, and other cruciferous greens
• “Full Sunlight, Low Water” kit – eggplant, sunflower, okra+
  
• “Ideal for Raised Bed” kit – asparagus, carrots+
  
• “Summer Greens & Spices” Kits – lettuce, oregano,  basil+
  
• “The 3 Sisters” Kits – corn, beans, squash, Rocky Mountain bee plant, Huit La Coche

Benefits of an
En Masse Homesteading Movement:

• improve local food supplies.
• stop landfills from growing because “gardens aren’t wrapped in garbage”.
• provide families the opportunity to live self-sufficient, healthy lives.
• reduce dependence on welfare programs (and thus, to reduce taxes).
• transition away from an ecologically-destructive food supply which is dependent upon the subjugation & abuse of animals.

    Why the term homestead? – The term “homestead” is actually a very important common law legal term which prevents a person who is working to live sustainably from having their home foreclosed on.
