Looking over Farmgirl Renee’s Sweet Earth Organic Farm site made me start craving heirloom tomatoes.
Sounds like Renee knows her heirlooms too. She’s been farming organic for more than three decades in Wisconsin.
But will Spring ever really arrive? I suppose it’s time for me to start some seeds on my kitchen window sill and on the buffet. Not enough sun anywhere else in the house.
The Future Farmkids are so ready to plant sunflowers. FFB got a bag out today and wanted to start planting…even though the snow hasn’t melted yet.
I got a great idea from a friend to plant the sunflowers in a circle so that they grow to create a fort for the kids to play in. We’re going to give it a try this year. [The photo is from Welcome to My Garden’s archives.]
I’m also trying to plan out some raised beds so I can plant more veggies this year. I’m told the chemical-rich soil in Oak Park requires raised beds for vegetables. I’m thinking of putting herbs in the window boxes on the garage.
