I think the location looks great! Also people should grab the seed packets I left in the white bucket if they want them. The temp is starting to fluctuate so they shouldn't stay in the shed. Also what is the garlic plan?

Potential Greenhouse Footprint

Hi neighbors,
I hope you all had a nice (not too rainy) weekend. T and I were doing some rudimentary measurements/talking about a small greenhouse setup, and we put small brown poles in the ground to mark a potential size/spot. They are on the flip side of the small shed, down yonder from the picnic table by the field. We have yet to ask Big Bear about any of this, it's still very much in the talking-to-you-guys stage. If you get a sec this week, please check out the footprint and let me know what you think! We were thinking a 10' x 20' would work best/be worthwhile, and the space we saw is the most evenly graded, has sunniest exposure, and hopefully isn't a detriment to anyone's view. Feedback welcomed. See you soon x

p.s. a cord of wood

One other thing... T, Joe, and myself are on the wood hunt. It was put on pause this week for the first round of midterms, but we'll make it happen. Soon. Very soon. Keep you posted.

3 day weekend, what?

Hi everybody,
It's a three-day weekend for all the school kids! I am so excited, I could throw up. Once this rain stops, I hope to be in the garden. Sunday, Monday, anyone care to join me? I also hope to have some cider. mmm

lettuce seeds

I got a bunch of fun lettuce and basil seeds for anyone who wants them. I'll put them in the tool bucket outside the laundry room. Everyone help yourselves to them. B

Compost Direction

So, I have some compost questions. Can/should we put non-recyclable paper in compost like egg cartons? Also matt you mentioned bones but no meat, is there anything else we can add that's not veg scraps. Can oils go in? example: leftover salad with dressing. Can grains go in? I'm used to food service composting and almost everything can go in and I always thought home ones could only get veg scraps, so I need direction. BTW I love the compost!!!
