We are learning on the fly and through reading.<br /><br />I recently read about a lady from Michigan being fined by her city for having a raised bed veggy garden in her front yard. It was very nicely done but unacceptable to lawmakers. She is fighting it in court. Amazing how things have changed. Better have useless grass or risk being fined.Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04493123424195804149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5957421587531364948.post-67906364495000302572011-08-04T07:10:24.652-04:002011-08-04T07:10:24.652-04:00My husband is a doll, not mentioning that his wife...My husband is a doll, not mentioning that his wife has something of a "brown thumb" - I'm great at cooking food, but suck at growing it (I have a hard time distinguishing between weeds and legitimate plants, as well as a tendency to forget the garden is there). I am, however, more than happy to support those that <i>are</i> capable of growing food, hence our membership in a CSA co-op and our attendance every week at Howe Meadow.<br /><br />I've heard about the huge gardens in yards from days long gone, but alas, it seems to be a thing of the past. A woman, in Florida, I think? was fined by her homeowner's association for her garden, and last I heard was facing the possibility of being arrested.Janhttp://www.janssushibar.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5957421587531364948.post-60935083511032472862011-07-31T21:18:10.916-04:002011-07-31T21:18:10.916-04:00@BE

Seems like a more efficient way to garden. <br /><br />Also, would love to meet you at Howe Meadow sometime. Email me and let's figure it out.Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04493123424195804149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5957421587531364948.post-12360523035968751062011-07-30T20:28:19.328-04:002011-07-30T20:28:19.328-04:00I love it!

The rhubarb is established and I think I have the first year of asparagus under my belt. I have a nice raspberry bush. I want to do Kohlrabi next year - know anything about that? <br /><br />We are composting for our CSA farmer now but will be doing it for our garden this fall when they stop deliveries. <br /><br />We should hook up at Howe Meadow some time - we are there almost every weekend (not next) when the cow bell rings! <br /><br />Nice Victory! Great post and great ideas! Thanks.Behttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02971265876820882681noreply@blogger.com
