We Eat Our Vegetables.

This season I am experimenting with growing vegetables for my family. It will be the seventh year of gardening at the Westerville plot and the second year for the Hilltop plot. I am also utilizing our small Clintonville space to do some container gardening. I have pictures of the pots for you today. Assuming we get our financials together we will also be subscribing again to Community Supported Agriculture with the Sippel Family Farms. Lindsay and I loved walking our son Eli up to the farmers market to pick up our share of veggies every Saturday last year- so we might end up with a large excess of veggies! By the way- a vegetarian family of three can never have too many vegetables. I also plan on doing some canning and freezing this year, with a very slight possibility of participating in the Whole Foods farmers market (I work there). Here's some pictures I took on this overcast day:

Little carrots just sprouted today- all the red stuff is chili flakes to keep the critters out.

I'll get pictures of the plots to post soon. Peace!

Yay! I'm excited to read all about your adventures! I was thinking about starting my own gardening blog- it's good to know I'll be in good company. Anyway, you are also awesome because I love me some Townes Van Zandt.
I love you guys!
