Planning for planting...

We have been looking at a number of books which are helping us plan out our garden for this year. The next thing on the agenda is preparing for planting of seeds to transplant after the last frost. We have ordered A LOT of seeds. Whether all of them will grow in our soil remains to be seen but we decided to grow small amounts of many things to see what works best.

There is so much to consider as we move forward with our planning. Where to plant? Do we want chickens for eggs and pest control? Do we want pigs for taking care of scraps, fertilizing and tilling the land? What equipment to buy? We will figure it out in good time. Anyone out there have any words of wisdom, experiences to share?

In other news, we have split a half meat CSA share from Upper Canada Heritage Meat with another couple. Check out this CSA! We love that the animals are treated humanely and live happy healthy lives. http://www.uppercanadaheritagemeat.ca/image.php?id=1

Going to be a yummy spring and summer!!
