The Seeds We Sow

So, first step to growing organic vegetables is to sow our seeds. We've picked to grow two types of tomatoes- Gold nuggets and Graham's Goodkeeper- Lipstick peppers, chives, six different types of lettuce- endive, oakleaf, escarole, chicory, arugula, and chervil- and cinnamon basil.

Seeds planted on March 1st.
All of these seeds are local to Victoria, BC and are organically grown. That may not be important to you but when it comes to produce, or any other food i eat, i have a tendency to want to eat something that is from the region i live in and not something from across the border or even worse from another continent. Nothing against their product, but thats just it food for a lot of industries has become just that, a product. No care is put into it any more, and thats where my window farm comes in. Its all about the love for the vegetables i am going to eat. And its all a start for something much bigger.

zackm.

*UPDATE*: March 4th, the lettuce has already sprouted
- Today (March 8th) lettuce plants are getting rather large.
