Oh, I will ask Steve, as I'm not certain what kind we rent. But with a half day of steady chipping, I think we could realistically get all we need for a year, once we get established. Fingers crossed, anyway. ~amanda

That container collects the water from the garden shed. But other than that, we have to run the hose from the house (a fair bit away) or haul buckets. We certainly don't have water figured out exactly here, but we seem to get enough rain to *mostly* cover us for the season. There are only a few times a year when we need to figure out something else (ie. the hose, or hauling buckets). ~amanda

Is there a local cooperative extention class you could take? Or better yet, take as a date-night adventure? It really is so helpful before diving in, and so informative. Perhaps he could be convinced. ;) ~amanda

Mary is right in her direction - all of those things are great! I will say that we're not following any one idea absolutely - but rather taking a bit of this and a bit of that as it fits for us. Barbara Damrosch and Eliot Coleman are huge (local!) inspirations, as is Ruth Stout, and many permaculture methods. So many resources out there. Goodness, what did we all do before the internet? ;-) ~amanda

They're actually for peas! The pole in the back will hold more saplings (soon!) that will be for beans. ~amanda

You know, we've been really lucky (knock on wood) with small critters. We have no squirrels here, and everything else so far has left the garden alone. It is fenced in, but I am sure they could get under it. Again, knocking on wood. Good luck!! ~amanda

April 20, 2013 May 20, 2013 I've been thinking about just how much happens in the garden in a relatively short period of time. How much change takes place over the course of a growing season. How much more we... Continue reading

It's a funny thing, Brimfield buying and treasure hunting in general. Like in the larger scheme of life, I really do love to have a plan. Lists are fabulous - essential, I dare say. But just as essential is the... Continue reading
