Our small urban veggie garden that will hopefully grow and provide us with many yummy edibles for our family and friends..this is our Farm to Table project.
Our pea pods finally came in last week so we now are able to pick a few each day and have been sharing them with friends along with the bibb lettuce. Dante even took some to his school for his Teacher, he was so proud of his crops. Yesterday we planted some Green & Red Romaines next to a yellow pear tomato, hoping to dub that corner the "Caesar Salad Garden". We also just planted cantaloupe, pumpkin, and basil seeds. The carrot seeds have already germinated and we have a bed of little carrot top sprouts. Next week I will be picking up some wonderful heirloom tomato plants from a local farm...I cant' wait to try the special pink tomatoes this year. Lots to do in the garden - going to be a great season!
In the late Fall of 2008 we started to grow some winter veggies on the side of our house where we usually plant our tomatoes. It is a work in progress and a delightful learning experience for our son, Dante, now 4 1/2. We like local organic produce and want to make it easier to find some in our backyard.
