14 Weeks in the Garden

Finally, I am starting the Modern Urban Farming class's at the Chicago Botanical Garden. During this time, focus will be on; Soil and Compost Ecology, Plant Propagation, Greenhouse Production, Production and Crop Planning, Aqua-ponics, Hydro-ponics, and basic Business Plan Development. It's a great deal and the opportunity to learn as much as possible about gardening in the city. My farm is 1 acre of land, consisting of 14 different "Blocks" that are in the from of raised beds. Right now, they have a little bit of spinach left, but that we will be removing later this week in preparation for a massive amount of transplants that we will be bringing from the green house early next week. We have one hoop house on the property, which will be used for tomato's only. :

As you can see, we got some snow last night... This has to be the last week of winter! It has to be.
