Wow it's been awhile! If you want more Suburban Micro Farm more often, check out my Instagram - @suburbanmicrofarm I post there almost everyday with lots of beautiful photos and my most recent updates! Although I love the instagram format, it's not quite the same as a detailed post about my plans, dreams and ongoing projects.
I have so much to share from 2017, and I will be doing some back-tracking in the coming weeks. 2017 was rough year full of change, loss and reorientation. Thankfully gardening was there to help me and inspire healing. In the spring of 2017, I transformed anunused suburban yard into a glorious 2000sq ft vegetable garden and created a kitchen garden program for adults in transitional housing; the food grown then supplied the in-patient residence kitchen. It was an amazing experience.
This year I want to keep progressing forward and ramp up my personal garden to the level I know I can reach with a couple of dedicated weekend grunts. Like many early starts to the garden season, here I am starting tomatoes once again.
Like always there are new varieties and old classics which I can't imagine not growing year after year. There will be a Ultimate Tomato List Part 2 as I have since added a few more varieties (beacause - why not?).
