World Food Revolution Day and Casi Cielo

this year is the Third Anniversary of World Food Revolution Day, and I have decided that my CSA will participate through a container potato planting. Jamie Oliver is a food hero of mine, and he is dedicated to getting kids and families around the world excited about food, real food, not plastic.

It is the beginning of the gardening season in Winnipeg, and I want to start off a great year of farming with a bang! The start of the season is an exciting time full of hope and promise, so lets plant potatoes. I am inviting people to come with shovels, a 5 gallon pail or unused blue box, and we will each make a family potato planter to put all around the garden and add soil as the season progresses until harvest in September.

So... come on down between 4:30 and 5:00 on Friday May 16th to 273 Enfield Crescent. Oh yes, I love the logo it seems appropriately Cuban or Chilean (venceremos)!!!

Casi Cielo is a go!!

Happy to say that I will soon begin my season as a farmer growing custom food for 8 wonderful families.  I have lots of plans and dreams, since we have lots of boys in the families to give them opportunities that suit their interests, with the fairy gardens and lots of ways to incorporate folks as they want to be involved other than just eating good healthy food.  In one more month, I hope to begin seeding even if my yard is still mostly white.

muscari, a brave little perennial.

The top garden.

There is hope and the dear little muscari which are always the first each Spring, are beginning to bloom.   I started my first seeding project with wheat grass in eggshells.  Lets see if we have little creatures in time for our EAster Egg hunt.
