If you wander into the garden section at any store, inevitably, you’ll be met by a wall of orange pots – the terracotta section. If you’re new to gardening in general or just terracotta pots,
Hey there, my name is Tracey. I’m the editor-in-chief here at Rural Sprout. Many of our readers already know me from our popular Sunday newsletters. (You are signed up for our newsletters, right?) Each Sunday, I send a friendly missive from my neck of the woods in Pennsylvania. It’s a bit like sitting on the front porch with a friend, discussing our gardens over a cup of tea. Originally from upstate NY, I’m now an honorary Pennsylvanian, having lived here for the past 18 years. I grew up spending weekends on my dad’s off-the-grid homestead, where I spent much of my childhood roaming the woods and getting my hands dirty. I learned how to do things most little kids haven’t done in over a century. Whether it was pressing apples in the fall for homemade cider, trudging through the early spring snows of upstate NY to tap trees for maple syrup, or canning everything that grew in the garden in the summer - there were always new adventures with each season. As an adult, I continue to draw on the skills I learned as a kid. I love my Wi-Fi and knowing pizza is only a phone call away. And I’m okay with never revisiting the adventure that is using an outhouse in the middle of January. These days, I tend to be almost a homesteader. I take an eclectic approach to homesteading, utilizing modern convenience where I want and choosing the rustic ways of my childhood as they suit me. I’m a firm believer in self-sufficiency, no matter where you live, and the power and pride that comes from doing something for yourself. I’ve always had a garden, even when the only space available was the roof of my apartment building. I’ve been knitting since age seven, and I spin and dye my own wool as well. If you can ferment it, it’s probably in my pantry or on my kitchen counter. And I can’t go more than a few days without a trip into the woods looking for mushrooms, edible plants, or the sound of the wind in the trees. You can follow my personal (crazy) homesteading adventures on Almost a Homesteader and Instagram as @aahomesteader. Peace, love, and dirt under your nails, Tracey
