Ok, this is an official announcement to all of you
who only check this blog for cute pictures of Orin:
The blog is switching gears now.
It's not that there won't be pictures of Orin,
there will still be an almost nauseating number of those,
it is just that from here on out begins the chronicles of
our suburban mini farm!
Yes, that's right, we are going to take our blah bunch
of lawn and reinvent it.
Although we truly begun our farming adventures last year
with the raising of our chicken coop and our herb plantings
in the front yard, I thought that now would be a better time
to start the farm blog because this marks the beginning of
our first full growing season.
What is "this" you ask?...
The arrival of our seeds!
Today we received what will likely only be the first batch
of seeds from Seed Savers Exchange
an awesome organization that supplies their customers
with rare types of heirloom seeds.
Feel free to fall in love with them at
The arrival of our seeds happened to coincide with
a beautiful January weekend (high 40's and sunny)
so Casey and I whipped up the first of many raised beds
that will collectively make up our MegaGarden.
It all starts here!
And, for those of you needing an Orin picture,
thanks for waiting patiently...
here is our first crop in full bloom:

Exciting! Can't wait to see the progress! I'm going to try okra this year - it's supposed to have pretty flowers, so even if I don't get any okra, it will at least look nice...
Fun! I am looking forward to seeing how it turns out, too! If I ever get a garden I'll try out seedsavers :)
