It's been a busy few weeks here at CityGarden. The seeds are popping up all over the place and it seems we can't transplant fast enough.
We received our big load of mushroom compost and that was not without controversy. First, some woman on the egroup wanted to argue about the attributes of mushroom compost ( a loosely disguised pissing contest) and then the stupid truck delivering the compost sunk up to it's axles in the yard.
Future Hubby was out last night, well after dark, pounding fencepost in so we could move the fence out another 25 feet. We've had two "Lowe's dates" this weekend.One for the supplies to put up another mini-cold house (high-low tunnel?) and another for fencing supplies. We live such glamorous lives!
Running an organic market garden is proving to be a little costly so we started offering a limited amount of CSAs this week and the response was encouraging. We still have a few openings if you are interested. Email me at citygarden@comcast.net for info.
We had a bamboo round up and made spectacles of ourselves driving down the road with 20 foot pieces of bamboo strapped to the Camry. We'll be using the bamboo for fencing, trellises, and other garden bamboo crafts. Thank you, Christian and Christa, for allowing us to come over and harvest out of your forest!
Last night, dinner was mainly composed of things we had "put up" last summer. Corn with roasted butternut squash and pickled jalapenos. Quinoa (we didn't grow) with more pickled jalapenos. So great to pull something out of the freezer and have summer back in an instant!
