Victory Garden 2020

This is us and our 1st year Victory Garden - our grand experiment!

We’ve been thinking for a long time about food insecurity and social justice and how to make good food accessible, affordable and healthy. Between Covid-19 and food shortages and before then, lettuces driven 1000’s of miles only to cause e-coli outbreaks, we decided this was the time to see what we can grow!

Our 3 plots are ruled by organic growing methods, succession plantings and companion planting for happy and healthy yields. We will be posting our progress along the way.

So far, we have planted organic seeds and starts. We have all sorts of lettuces and kale and onions. We have beets, spinach, swiss chard, zucchini, radishes, potatoes, leeks, carrots and parsnips and some volunteer tomatoes (meaning seeds that fell last fall that started growing in the spring). Next, we will plant more tomatoes and peppers.

If this experiment is successful, we hope to find some land and dream of a greenhouse so we can feed those in need year round.

We are also available to design, install and maintain organic vegetable, fruit and pollinator gardens and we can teach you and your kids about growing, harvesting and the importance of our pollinators. And of course you will have luscious homegrown organic food to put on your table!
