The Life of A Garden

This is a journal about one full season of a plot in the Tommy Thompson Community Garden, located down in the Intervale in Burlington, Vermont In this spot we will attempt to exhibit the whole process - from starting mostly organic, heirloom seeds indoors, to planting and maintenance and finally the harvest and preservation of our labors. Additionally we plan to try growing potatoes in a trash bin and we will share the lessons we learn about seed saving. We'll finish up by covering fall plantings and putting the garden to bed for the winter. We encourage readers to leave helpful comments or questions, and hope this will prove to be a source of learning and sharing not only for us, but for fellow gardening enthusiasts everywhere.
