Veggies: Reconnecting



"Reconnecting People to the Landscape" was a title of
a past MELA conference. It's in action now with a terrific
client and her family. Not gardeners before, she and
her kids started growing veggies from seed indoors
this spring. They are learning as they go and loving
being engaged. Such a wet spring may not yield the
most bountiful crop, but the process should make its
imprint felt. Above you can see their veggie area
about a month ago...I suggested using pots the first
year and if they liked it, to put in a real growing bed
next year (with some fortifications against the many
deer & rabbit).

When we visited Rick Bayless' garden, his gardener said that salad greens, baby greens, and herbs were the best value for the effort for home gardeners who were just getting started or did not have a lot of room. Pretty easy and multiple crops of greens so good chance of success.
