Backyard Gardening and Sunflower Shoots

Backyard Gardening

Our families backyard garden is in full swing. We are harvesting fresh lettuce, cabbage, swiss chard, broccoli, bok choy, green onions, beets, and more. Also eggs from our four chickens happily housed in our portable chicken tractor. We also have tomatoes, squash, peppers, melons, cucumbers, and garlic growing for future harvest, all in our 288 sq. foot of raised beds. This shows that you can grow much of your own veggies even in a small backyard.

We would like to see more people growing their own food. Future blogs will have updates on specific crops, chickens, etc.... in an effort to inspire you to GROW!

Sunflower Shoots

Look for our sunflower shoots in a sandwich special at the deli this week.
