Over the past week, the little sprouts have really taken off! It’s fun to watch the little green shoots start to turn into something recognizable.

Another $100 for lumber later, we now have 4 more beds. The photo above is of last year’s, which I cleaned up on Saturday and planted with peas, carrots, lettuce, kale, and the Asian stir fry mix. Those little seeds are buggers! Hoping I can thin them out later.

I’ve always hated math. It’s not that I was bad at it, it’s just that I prefer words over numbers. However, after reading the Frugalista Files the other day, on top of trying to run the numbers for our brewery business plan, I’ve decided it’s time to start paying attention.
CSA & Garden Update 8/10

I’ve decided that my garden is mostly for snacking. To recap: The herbs have dried up, from lack of watering, never having quite recovered from the long 4th of July weekend in intense heat with no water.

It’s so exciting, to see them grow everyday, but in {Read More}

This week was a little slim as we wait for the summer veggies to come in. I ended up with lettuce, green onions, Swiss chard, kale, kohlrabi, bok choy, fava beans, and peas.

I also planted some cilantro today in some leftover space. Hopefully I’ll have better luck now that I know it bolts quickly. This post linked to Things I Love Thursday
