Connor Turns 2!

 The wonderful construction process.

Turning a cardboard toilet box into a Castle...

Drip Irrigation

 We Have Installed Drip Irrigation! Oh yah! Super stoked.
The garden area is approximately 60 feet X 90 feet.

And here are some of our transplants making themselves happy in their new home.  

We have also seeded almost the whole bed, so hopefully in a couple months

our yard will be exploding with healthy organic food!

 This is our worm pile and that is some of our organic food waste we are layering in 

there for the worms to eat.

And a picture of Mr. Pib, because he is cute and loves to garden too.

Avocado Basil Sauce

2 medium size Avocados

2 medium size Spaghetti Squash

3 cloves garlic

Juice of 1 lemon

1 bunch basil

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

4 tblsp olive oil

 Cut spaghetti squash in half and lather with olive oil.  Roast at 375 for around 45minutes.

Food process all the ingredients (except squash) until creamy.

When squash is soft to the poke of a fork scrape insides out into a bowl, it will be like noodles.

Mix with sauce and top with some finely chopped fresh basil.

Serve with fresh bread and a salad.

Super easy plant based dinner that tastes so good.

 Finish the night with fresh baked vegan snicker doodles and a cold glass of beer.

Cheers!

Compost Delivered!!!!

Beginning our urban farm...

After we finished hauling all the mulch to the backyard we soon replaced that pile with a load of compost.

Not just any load...17yards of BombPost!!
The most rich, full of life compost you can find in San Diego.

Look at the richness of the compost compared to the existing, totally depleted soil.

After one full day of hauling compost
this is the small pile that remains.

This is our new garden bed filled with healthy worms and microorganisms.
This weekend will be planting our starts and sowing some new seeds too.

This is the newest addition to the garden family.  A Dechlorinator that attaches to
our garden hose and filters out the chlorine that's in the San Diego water supply.
Chlorine is a harmful chemical and kills off healthy organisms in our soil, which
is why we filter it out.
