To those of you reading this I thank you! To those people who have bought a vegetable box I thank you! From the bottom of my heart I want to thank my family and friends for encouraging me and listening to me drone on and on about this! My crop plans are almost done and I'm itching for the smell of the ground in spring. I'm so excited to take this project on! If you are in the neighbourhood in the spring and summer and want to check out the garden please feel free to stop by Lake Land Meats. If I'm there, I'll give you a tour.
As I'm planning I'm imagining the soft warm breezes of spring and summer. The smell of the earth. I have a lot of plants to move from my city garden out to the farm. Trying to make a list of all of them but I'm sure I'll find some I haven't written down when I start digging in the spring. I think a lot of my city plants will love to spread their roots! Here's my list so far: strawberries raspberries blueberries gooseberries berry bushes are great under the giant butternut I have. I wish I could move that tree out to the country. Poor thing! mint lavendar rhubarb asparagus elderberry comfrey horseradish (though I know that it grows as a weed in the ground now so I may not need to bring it :) valerian meadowsweet sage rose If they knew they would be excited to move too. More space, more sun. Though I think they'll like it if I crowd them up at first. I think it would be scary for them if they were too far from their neighbour. In my tiny little yard they're crowded together like sardines. I'm planning on planting those in between my vegetable beds to increase diversity and promote pest control. I've also got my crop list together for the veg boxes. Do you want a list? Ok I'll do it next blog post. I don't want too many lists in one post. Anyway, thanks again for all the ways each of you have supported, encouraged, taught and inspired!
