1-11-11 and so it begins :)

So here goes! All the seed arrived in the mail. It was like Christmas all over again.

Whereas my dining server (that sits just below a large double window) will be converted into a seed birthing platform, I've asked my husband to help me bring the tiller from my mother's house here today to get my dirt on! Time to prepare the back and side yard for 12 months of fantastic beauty and edible delight!

Please, if you have a large dinner party, or want to contribute but do not have time or extra funds, please throw your vegetable and fruits scraps in a bag and either drop them off or give me a ring and I'll come pick them up. I'm talking to anyone who doesn't already compost themselves of course. We have been contributing to our own compost bin for about a year now and it is going well, but now more than ever I will need as much as possible!

I'm considering getting chickens, like Alice Fowler. I have to do some research and make sure that there isn't a city restriction preventing me from keeping chickens on my residential property. If not, I am looking forward to potentially owning two poop producing, compost enriching, egg laying chickens!

I better get changed, dirt gear needed.

Happy New Year!!!
