Well, yesterday was warm. Vibe us that we can get some raised gardening boxes built today in between kid soccer games and the medicinal gardening class that I am taking. It needs to stay warm and sunny today, so we can at least get them built, if not set down and filled.
I have decided for sure that I want to put the strawberry patch in the front yard. I think eventually I want to put a picket fence around the front yard so that if I do get chickens, sometimes I can let them out to peck around there. Plus, there is very little of anything else up there (including grass) because of our big beautiful trees, so why not. I could then plant some fruit bushes along the fence and have blackberries and raspberries. My one raspberry bush that I got last year for Mother's Day survived the long winter and hopefully will grow bigger this season.
My honeysuckle bushes, however, are not looking so good. I am not pulling them out, yet, but I'm just saying...
In chicken news... there is none. I have had no response to my e-mail. That means I will have to call on Monday and politely bitch and plead. Come on, people, I am so ready for my chickies! I promise they won't bother you.
My medicinal gardening class is at Badseed Farmer's Market in downtown KC. I took an Urban Homesteading class there a couple of weeks ago. I am really excited about the medicinal class and it's potential to steer what I plant in the herb garden this year.
Also, if anyone can get a hold of copies, there are great articles in both this month's edition of Mother Earth News and Ready Made on urban gardening and sustainability. We're taking over, folks.
