Hi Everyone, Let me introduce you to my spot on this blog.
I'm a modern gal with not much time, but tons of green projects in the works. I'm starting my own veggie patch in my backyard and will keep my findings and growings updated on my posts.
What got me thinking was first putting my veggies from the market into baggies...STOP. I use cloth baggies, but still it seemed awkward. Then I learned about the carbon footprint of veggies I bought from the market and started to shop locally at smaller shops and my favorite...
THE FARMER'S MARKETS! Love. Supporting local growers is great, fun and a good date night or new type of brunch gathering on a weekend morning markets.
Now although I love the farmers markets, they can get a bit pricey.... so looking over all the veggies and herbs and berries I thought that I could cut my bill in half by starting my own veggie patch right in my backyard. It's not easy, but a great project and I've heard that urbanites are joining in the fun and growing lots of goodies from pots too!
I've so far planted cherry tomatoes, thyme, basil, an artichoke plant, 2 brusel sprout plants, strawberries and soon to add zucchini, more herbs and we'll go from there.
