Do you think summer is the only time that plants grow? Well, you are wrong!!
So many people miss out on the opportunity to grow produce in the Fall growing season. We definitely are not stopping with our summer harvest. We plan to grow a number of vegetables that are able to grow in slightly cooler temperatures such as cabbages, broccoli, lettuces, and more!
We have partnered with an awesome couple named Kathy and Irv to help us grow our Fall transplants. Due to the limited space in our 2-bedroom apartment, we needed to find someone that had the space and willingness to help us grow the 800+ organic transplants we wanted. Originally, we were told to contact Kathy and Irv because of they grow transplants and own a vermicomposting business called
ESP of MO. After getting to know them, I am in awe of the down-to-earth and hands-on life they are living in their retirement. They agreed to help us grow our tansplants and I am so impressed with the quality and heartiness of the transplants they are giving us. It must be all the vermicastings in the soil!
Today, we began to plant some of our Fall transplants. Damian's step-father and my mother and father came out to help us. We were so thankful for the help and time spent together with our families.

hey Amber - looks good! I am always beat after a day of planting so I know how you feel! I am getting ready to plant carrots, lettuce, and radishes for fall. Good luck to your plants. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Rosemary! Yes, I slept well last night! :) Yay, I am glad to hear that we are not the only ones Fall planting. It felt so good yesterday & I actually look forward to weeding on 70-degree days! I still really want to come down and see your garden, but it feels like there is not enough time in the day lately between work, farm, and puppy.
