Tomatoes are Planted
25 Mar
This weekend Megan and I planted more than 350 tomatoes. The plants will be for sale at the event as well as all kinds of others like peppers, herbs, etc. The cedar beds are going up this coming weekend. It’s so nice to see everything taking form. We’d like to make this event a huge success, so if you have a hand to lend, let us know. I’ll post new pictures of the seedlings soon!

Seed Starting
7 Mar
So today we realized, once again, what a huge undertaking this is! We have 60 different types of plants, and several varieties of most of them. We have twelve different kinds of tomatoes. As exciting as today was, it just made the project that much more daunting. Our goal is to start enough seeds not only for the garden, but also to sell. We converted the storage room in my house to be a grow room. Trying to make enough surface space for all of the seeds in itself has been a challenge. Here’s where we’re at so far.

We even have a new friend!
This just includes peppers, lettuce, cauliflower, cabbage broccoli, brussel sprouts, herbs, and eggplant. That is such a small fraction of what we have. We still need more egg crates or seed trays. Thanks everyone!

We met with the board again for a final approval of the plans. We’re starting to organize a fundraiser for April 4th and moving our planting date to mid-April. More details to come!

We need help raising funds for heirloom seeds, berry bushes, cedar, organic soil, etc. We’re shooting for a first planting date of March 15th. Any contributions would be greatly appreciated.
