Planting Ensues!

Dear All Farm Loving Friends,

Ground has been broken, seeds sown and appetites wet. The past two weekends have seen the beginning of farm plot planting with a variety of friends and members helping to plant the first small sections of our farm. Looking up from where we diligently and compassionately cover up our first seeds, we see the epic space of two acres, soon to be covered in green and flowery goodness, sprawl out in front of us. I can safely say, these were some of the best two weekends I've had in Portland since my arrival last August. Here are a few pictures.

Vertical gardening

http://greenupgrader.com/7556/diy-vertical-garden-with-reclaimed-gutters/

In case we run out of land, we can build up with reclaimed gutters! I just loved this idea and wanted to share it. Maybe we can try this on our shade for an experiment.


What other great ideas can we share on the farm?
