I started this blog to record my experiments/adventures in the land of urban agriculture. It is growing into a garden consutation business. I will be happy to advise, plan, install and maintain (or any combination thereof) a garden for you.

Pearce and Claire were actually fighting over who got to remove the seeds from the flower head. I guess we'll save two heads this year.

The Great Frame Up


This is the floor frame. Just a few screws in strategic locations to firm things up.


The long pieces from these pallets will be the lumber for framing the sides of the coop. I don't think I'll have enough slats to make safe sides for the coop though
