Changes

I just learned we have to move in April. That's smack dab in the middle of the growing season :/

 

 Our system of moving is born completely out of convenience and managability. It surprises people that we rent given the extent of our backyard garden, but we have great landlords who don't over-value blades of grass (especially in the backyard). We have several blue 50 gallon rainwater barrells, which collect water for the garden - this is important in an area with very wet winters and very dry summers! When we move, the soil for one square foot garden will fit nicely into one barrell. So we pack a barrell per garden. We empty them out of water, fill them up with soil, and roll them with a dolly into the u-haul. Presto. All that investment in good soil has not gone to waste. :D

 

One day, we'll own our land and seed directly into the ground. But for now - we take with us the power to feed ourselves fresh veggies, and it's totally worth it.
