our green st. patrick's day

Today, five youth spent their Saturday clearing debris from the gardens and planting our first round of veggies - lettuce, peas, radishes and carrots.  We can't wait until this patch is covered in green!

spicing things up

Six youth from Cary Home programs started growing tomato and pepper seeds this past week in anticipation of our biggest vegetable garden yet.  They used a technique similar to the one described here. We'll let you know how it works for us.

They were especially interested in growing peppers - the hotter the better.  Looks like we're due for some spicy meals this summer!
