We were planning on going to the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm today for the Tulip Fest, but the weather is a bit dreary. The myth is that it rains in Portland all the time, but this is actually the first time we have changed plans because of it. We will have to blog about the Wooden Shoe Tulip farm later. It is supposed to be a bit of Holland with acres and acres if tulips. Oh, and Mexican food trucks for some reason?
So instead we worked more on our little apartment farm. We have
strawberries, herbs, and eventually four earth pots for lettuce, tomatoes, and vegetables. We plan to put three of the earth boxes out it
the front under the window where they will get better sun. Rose just has to grow stuff, and I like it, too.
When we lived in Aldie, Virginia we had a huge garden and small orchard. There were a few organic farms in the area, so we also enjoyed organic beef, lamb, and chickens. Nice to know your nearby farmer!
Here are a few pictures of our old garden in Virginia.
We built the whole thing. 24 ft by 36 ft.
We grew a shit load of vegetables!
Here is the build out of the raised beds. They are dug down 24 inches.
Here is the garden in full works with all the plants around the fence!
Corn is getting tall!
Our 5-in-1 Apple Tree.
Lots of Cherries
Asian Pears
Lots of Lettuce!
