Greetings, my fellow earthlings, are you ready for another update on what's going on? I sure am! :)
What's happening this week?
PICNIC PARTY!
We've had one of the greatest summers I can remember in my 20+ years of living in the Seattle area. As Seattle-ites, whenever it's sunny and warm (and not raining), we love to be outside. So, that means.. Picnic party! Great vegetarian food, our friends and family, the garden, the apple tree... It was a great time for all to be had! Next time y'all are invited!
WELL DUG
It took a while to get all the permits we needed, but we've finally dug a hole for our well! Right now, it's still just a pipe sticking out of the ground with a pump attached to it. We still need to build a little well-house, then dig a ditch to run the water pipes to the house and the fields. Coming soon...
STARTS AND BOOST BLEND RECEIVED
We're excited to have received trays of starts of lavender, rosemary, and peppermint. Let the planting begin! First, we want to boost the nutrient levels of the soil. What better way than kitchen scraps and cow poop to create a nutrient-rich soil! :)
