I converted the 1500 sq ft side lot of my woodworking shop into an organic garden 2 years ago. My shop is in a 1950's quanset hut occupied by a group of artists and craftmen/women in North Carolina. It is an ongoing project but the yields have been amazing nutritionally and spriritually.And the project amazes all the passersby.<BR/>I have some slideshows of my Urban Garden Project on my blog [skim down] I also blog about all things green, cycling, food, and design.<BR/><BR/>Great photography on your blog, BTW<BR/><BR/>Check out my Urban Garden Project and tell me what you think<BR/><BR/><BR/>VLvergelimbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03048177832143590925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10768347.post-27403241311927432882008-01-11T02:30:00.000+00:002008-01-11T02:30:00.000+00:00You are a wonderful blogger!

I and a friend have been trying to buy more organic...I had a vegie garden last year, but have been lazy so far to go for anything this year! My shining stars last year were broccoli and cauliflower, if you can imagine!!! I was amazed that I could grow something like these!<BR/>I wanted to say that out of all your ideas for your garden, I love the one about coming home and relaxing in it after a stress-filled day at work!<BR/>Blessings- JulieJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04402220963886597754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10768347.post-7844017072812480152008-01-10T20:33:00.000+00:002008-01-10T20:33:00.000+00:00Hi Claire you are Welcome.You were the spark behin...Hi Claire you are Welcome.You were the spark behind this post.The blogosphere is better for linking between blogs.Shared knowledge.Your comment came super quick after I posted it!Im enjoying it already so much the garden.Im outside often, taking in the view and the fresh air, and watching the garden birds.<BR/> I love Honeysuckle but have never grown it before.Fingers crossed :)David (Snappy)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06888061575577254705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10768347.post-73492567564471215242008-01-10T20:28:00.000+00:002008-01-10T20:28:00.000+00:00Thanks for the link!

And I totally approve of the addition of honeysuckle--one of my favorite garden fragrances. I'm sure by summer you'll have a really terrific garden spot to enjoy. But you're probably enjoying already!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03683254145775608514noreply@blogger.com
