Growing Season
Hey,
I working very hard right now to up my production for this summer food season. Right now I have been waking up as early as 6am to prepare for the growing season. It starts with checking all of my plants health. Some of my seeds are just starting their growth while others have been growing for weeks. I am having to work with plants in all stages. I have a Basil plant that I cloned from a Pho' restaurant, I was so slick to pocket that plant because it will be so nice to have quality asian basil. I have watermelon and Melon growing in my cloner machine and dirt as well. I have tomato plants of different sizes growing under a mini green house. And I have ton of seeds that are starting up now. I am very excited about my outdoor starts also that are doing well, lettuces, Chard and Arugula. It will be a great year.
Thanks

Groundworks Portland and Oregon Sustainable Agriculture Land Trust
Wonderful article about the work of two organizations making things happen on the accessible food front Groundworks Portland and Oregon Sustainable Agriculture Land Trust. Check it out in the latest addition of the Portland Mercury http://bit.ly/hfkeso. These are two organizations that are working hard to make unused land into space for neighbors and community members to grow gardens and beautify or detoxify land. I hope one day I can work with or along side these organizations. One because this is an effort I support 100%. Not only is it a good example of how people are thinking creatively about how to grow in the city but it is teaching children how to be responsible land tenets. Keep up the good work.
