Different Direction


 
As far as Lake City Farm this season, I had already decided to cut back on the amount of farming because I needed to work off farm at least on a part time basis.  So this works so perfect with my plans.  I’ll continue to farm my property (front and back yards) and most likely one other property.  I’ll grow food for our family and the other property on a part time basis.  We haven’t always grown enough food for us when the CSA needed the food because of a bad season.  Last year was quite brutal with all the rain we had in May and June.  I’ll need to plan my gardens quite differently to produce for a family instead of for 15 families!

Today I inventoried my own seeds and will be buying a few more on Saturday at the Seaport Market from Annapolis Valley Seeds.  http://www.annapolisseeds.com/  Before I start work, I want to have my tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, some herbs and some flowers started.  I have a light stand that I will be turning on when they emerge. Other loose ends will be looked after and hopefully the transit strike will be over.  Things have a way or working out…
