Urban Sustainable Living - Mar 10

Well, the calendar may say it's not quite spring yet, but around here things are starting to look springy. The plum tree is totally bloomed and lots of little buds on Jennifer's lemon tree. Beth and the girls have been helping get things prepped for our biggest planting yet. We've got three new raised beds and a new three stall composting area. We tried something new this year with 2 liter soda bottle greenhouses. Last spring we tried seeding indoors, but we only heat the rooms we live in so the seeds usually weren't much warmer indoors than out. So with these mini-greenhouses we seem to have gotten a jump on the spring planting and have quite a few healthy looking sprouts soon ready for transplant.
