Well, it has certainly been a long time since I posted last–I found a (sadly unpaying) job of sorts that takes up a goodly chunk of my time. Wednesday I ended up moving about a half-ton of paper records and, oddly, glass vases.
Anyhow, since a lot of my projects cost cash monies, I’m going to at least temporarily repurpose this blog into my gardening blog. Inspired by a couple other suburban farming blogs, I started an EPIC grow calendar that allows me to schedule staggered start, planting and transplanting dates so I can have a ongoing harvest of veggies.
This is a screenshot of my planting calendar, more for display than actually showing my planting schedule
I used a planting calendar from the wonderful and reliable Portland Nursery that works from the average Willamete Valley weather (average last day of frost, etc) which means I can theoretically work much more effectively. Mid-January, I’ll be starting onions, which I’m pretty excited about. I’m also getting together a few local friends to join my faux-CSA: In exchange for buying the seeds and soil amendments for the things they’ll want to eat, I’ll do my best to grow them and deliver them.
I think this sounds like an awesome plan that will keep me occupied and full of vegetables, which are two of my favorite things.
