Since our last garden in the summer we’ve been lusting over seeds non-stop and pondering what new things we can grow in the spring. Now spring is finally approaching and we’re not only planning to grow new things, but we’re moving to a new place completely. Our new apartment is in Aycock near downtown Greensboro, a one-bedroom off of a triplex style historic house. Moving back to a small space is definitely forcing us to get creative with our garden plans and studio space, but we always love a good challenge.
To make matters even cooler, there’s a community garden in our neighborhood courtesy of Urban Harvest and a curbside market! So, our plan is to plant some of our larger crops (that need a lot of sun and decent space) in the community garden and do all of our herbs, most flowers, tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, spinach, potted carrots, and possibly potatoes & onions in our yard (around the front decoratively and in the large fenced in area behind our parking lot). We would also really like to start a coop in the community space and maybe keep bees there if possible. Who knows, maybe we’ll eventually be able to sell things at the curbside market! Oh how I’ve missed bustling farmers markets!
Our most recent news at the farm house is that our hen, Marshmallow recently started laying! She’s been giving us about an egg per day (with only one day so far that she hasn’t produced). We want desperately to be able to keep her but the move is fast approaching and we have yet to finalize a spot on the community garden or plan a coop. Let’s hope something pops up sometime soon!
