Baby Steps

Here it is barely February and gardeners across the land are poring over seed catalogs, tuning out the present for some blissful imaginings of the months to come. Ah, the warm, warm months...

So it is with the Salvation Farmy. In two weeks, we hope to have an estimate of the construction costs for the garden. In that same span of time, we will be gathering a soil sample for testing to make sure that the soil is safe for food production (what a strange thing to even have to consider, no?). We've got a few other things on the agenda as well. Things like lining up the seeds and plants for the garden, drumming up additional financial support and sponsorships for the garden, developing a list of needed supplies (shovels, rakes, soaker hoses, mulch, hoes, soil, etc.), signing up prospective gardeners, and so on. Pure fun.

Stay tuned for details as the plans gel!
