Progress

The plot location is fantastic. As I continue working so many helpful and interesting people walk by. Working right next to the library is the perfect place. The project is really developing into a community project. One extremely helpful man has talked with farmers at the farmers market who are willing to donate starter plants, and he is going to help with getting fencing.

I am continuing preparing the soil, its hard work but it is definitely worth it. Another man who really helped me out came by and taught me how to correctly use the tools and shared with me his philosophy of "respect the soil and the soil will respect you back," and that "you have to work the tools not let the tools work you."

Planting should start this weekend, just have to get the soil prepared. I also have moved my plants in to the greenhouse so that part of the project can also get started. I have pepper, tomato, stevia and cinnamon basil plants started and those should eventually get into the ground out front,
