I came home today and checked the mail. Hooray! No bills and two packages that are garden related!
As you know part of the experiment this summer will be square foot gardening.
I purchased planting templates from Alex over at The Corner Yard. I also picked up a few copies of Minnie Rose Lovgreen's classic Recipe for Raising Chickens. One for me and one each for two friends who raise chickens.
The templates will help keep the proper spacing in the square foot beds. Could I have made them myself? Sure! But there is something to be said about supporting a fellow gardener and blogger. Keep up the good work Alex!
The Chicken book is charming, and the anecdotes about the author in the back are very interesting. It's super informative in a down homey way. I don't have any chickens, yet.
Anyway - off to transplant some tomatoes and start some Swiss chard.
Until next time, Keep Digging & Eat Well!
