YAY! I cannot express how happy I am to have a garden. Not only did I get some great deals on starter plants, I also crossed off another top 10. Visited the Portland Farmer's Market today....and it was packed with people. I'd say the main things there are fresh veggies (can't wait till summer), bakeries, jams, and honey. No one was rude or in a hurry. This is odd due to the fact it was so busy you could hardly move.
About the garden - I was planning on building my own raised garden until the day I almost went to home depot to buy the lumber. I've never been good with "build your own" furniture and it was just my two hands working on this. I decided it would be in my best interest to buy one pre-made. I searched on craigslist and found a man who would build it for $100 out of cedar wood with steel rod reinforcements. GOOD DEAL! Not only that, but he would deliver it with organic soil. Here's where some people question the organic soil...isnt it all organic!?! Nope...here is why.
Then, I sold a computer desk this week and so this was practically free!
At the farmer's market I bought the following organic starts: cilantro, basil, sugar snap peas, early girl tomatoes, mixed salad greens, spinach...and an artichoke plant!!!!! Woohoo. I'll post more as more grows. :)
