For the past couple weeks I've been slowly working on building our garden. It's the same type of planter as we built for our raspberries, but I've been spreading the work over several days instead of doing it all at once. It's all ready to be filled with soil and fenced off now. Sometime in May we'll plant some stuff, and hopefully it will grow. :)
Even if our garden fails miserably, we have plan B: We signed up for a community-supported agriculture (CSA) program. Every week this summer we'll be getting some fresh, local, organic produce. It's going to be fun finding some recipes for vegetables that we wouldn't normally buy. As part of the CSA, we also signed up for a fruit share (peaches, pears, apples, strawberries). It's going to be a tasty summer.
Fruit share - now your talking. I look forward to peaches every year. Love fresh peaches.
ReplyDeleteThey have a small CSA here in the Springs. I looked into buying us a box of veggies a week, but all their 'shares' are sold out to returning customers and have been for the past two years. :(
ReplyDeleteKeep us posted when it comes cow time again!
I think CSA's are getting popular these days. We got an email when ours opened up for applications, and mailed a check the next day. Within the next couple days it was already closed.
