Well after that last rousing blog about Death. . . what exactly is an urban farmer to do in the winter?
Ok, so after I get out my sun lamp and pop a few vitamin D3 to enhance my mood, I finally remember that I can plan out the farm for next year. Yes, indeed!
Winter is where the plans for the spring begin. While the holidays have yet even to pass at this point, I have received my seed catalog!
Oh Joy to the world! The seeds have come! Let Earth receive her. . . you get the picture.
I quickly page through the catalog enjoying all the bright colors of heirloom vegetables, flowers and herbs. I reflect on last year's crops. And I think, how can I make it BIGGER!!!!
Yes, BIGGER!. Yes, I know I live in the city. Yes, I realize my backyard is not really a farm. No, I'm not concerned about the property value of my house; I bought a house to live in and homestead. No, I don't really care what the neighbors think.
Happy Planning!
Dear HUF, Do you provide individual consulting for garden planning? I'm interested in contracting for your services. In addition, I need help in the early spring to create a garden in the space where my garage once stood. Let's discuss rates . . . I'm serious! EM
