How to Plant Tons of Edible Annuals in One Hour

This step by step tutorial of how to plant tons of edible annuals in one hour in your garden will help you work smarter not harder. I thoroughly enjoy getting my hands in the soil, turning over the earth and encouraging plants to grow but my back can’t always handle being bent over for hours at a time. Many “The Homestead Survival” readers have shared the same experience so I do think people will appreciate this tip.

Most vegetables and grains are annual plants, they grow, mature, set seed, and die back all in the same year. For example, the tomato is a perennial plant native to the tropics, but it dies if exposed to freezing, temperatures, so it might as well be an annual plant in cold areas.
