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. Contact me for more information at lknzfarm@gmail.com or 678-427-3101, or message me at Elkins Farm and Garden on FB.

Scouting the Garden

We are doing a program on planting a garden at scouts for an elective adventure for the Wolves. We planted tomatoes, cucumbers and squash last week. These are pictures of the results of one week's growth for Pearce and "auxiliary" Wolf Claire's seeds.



Funny thing about doing this adventure is that the scouts and Claire are all old hands at gardening. 
These will constitute the deck garden here at the house. We'll transplant the sprouts to big pots and keep them on the deck for easy access.

Who Said Volunteerism is Dead

This right here is my absolute favorite kind of volunteering. I never planted garlic last year but, low and behold, I've got two of those suckers in the raised bed by the bees. Didn't see them till after I hit the bed with the weed eater. Can't wait to see if they turn good 'uns.
