And Spring Means...
Time to get working on the new gardens! Since the hurrican remnants destroyed the swimming pool, I'm going to use that space for an expanded Square Foot Garden. The lumber will become 6 4x4 garden boxes, an the steel tubing is for three 6' high trellises. I got three boxes made this morning, but I'm going to have to wait for it to dry out a bit to place them. This year, we're putting in an extra box for the food bank. I figure between five boxes and our CSA farm, we'll have plenty of fresh veggies this year, and enough for canning to tide us through the winter.Labels: CSA, gardening, square foot gardening

CSA! CSA!
No, not the Confederate States of America, but Community Supported Agriculture! We went and signed up for the CSA program at one of our local farms, and we'll be receiving a basket of farm-fresh veggies weekly from June through October.
Its a great way to support your local farmer, and get fresh veggies in season! You can find out more about CSA here!
