This week, inspired by Lindsay, Mom, and Nikki, Keira and I started planting a garden. We don't have a lot of space in our backyard for a huge garden, but we’ll manage. So far, we’ve planted Bell Peppers and Broccoli. I still have a little more work to do to get the rest of the planting area ready. Once we move a couple plants and do a little more weeding… we’ll plant some Cherry Tomatoes, Green Onions, Spinach and eventually some Melons. I am excited to show Keira where real food comes from; not just from the grocery store.
I've also recently started kitchen composting. Right now, it's tough to get Jason to support the garden composting, but I'm hoping to prove that it's not something that will take a lot of effort from either of us and that it'll be great for our yard. Now I just need to find a small composting bin for our backyard that is not too expensive. I think I might be going with the one offered through our county composting program. Hopefully before long we'll start seeing some "black gold."
