Welcome back to VEGarden!

The sun is shining and though temperatures are still in the 40s, we have hit some 60º F days – spring is just around the corner! And this means that it’s time to start planning the garden!

So, the first task: starting seeds.

Chris prepared the soil mix: 3 parts peat, 2 parts compost, 2 parts water, and a handful of cottonseed meal. He sifted the peat through a screen to remove some of the large lumps – this left him with a very nice, smooth soil mix for making blocks.

hey this space has been dormant for a while. i’m going though seed catalogs for this years garden. i’ve also been reading gaia’s garden a book on permaculture and rereading the one straw revolution by Masanobu Fukuoka.

It’s one of my favorite books which I am too lazy to talk about right now, but hopefully I’ll find time every week or two to put something in this space as we start year 2 of our garden.
