Time to Start Gardening

The holidays are long since over, and February is upon us – time to get serious about veggie gardening.    But first I wanted to mention a couple of items that may be of interest.

If you are lucky enough to live in the Portland, OR area and have a sunny spot in your yard but are unable to garden yourself (for whatever reason) you may be interested in http://www.yourbackyardfarmer.com.  This is a service started by two women who will plant an organic garden for you, tend it and harvest it – for a price of course!  I also understand that a similar service is available in San Francisco, CA, however their website is not up yet, but I believe the website URL is http://www.myfarmsf.com

Also, both Oprah and Dr. Oz had a program this week on the importance of sustainable agriculture and eating locally.  Did any of you see either of these shows?  It seems that this “movement” is going mainstream, which is good for all of us!

Later,
