We broke ground!
Five of us woke up [sort of] early on Saturday morning to dig a 100-square-foot garden plot at 19th and Fillmore. By noon, we had a bunch of random piles of dirt, and a crooked rectangle plot. Sunday night, two more of us came by and broke down the soil, and mixed in some old straw. On August 29th, we’ll be back with transplants and seeds — and that would be a great time to bring the family by the plot. Pretty much everyone likes to play in the dirt.
We’re really excited! We have three lots at that corner — there is so much potential. What if we had an urban community farm, complete with chickens and goats? Or a greenhouse? Or an orchard?
If you’ve got more ideas for us, share them in the comments section!
