2010 change of plans

Last year was certainly a learning year. I came into the spring only knowing that I wanted to garden on the lot. I didn't know what to do with the produce. I tried a CSA and for various reasons, concluded that a CSA is not for me.

So for 2010, two friends and I will be sharing the workload and the produce. That will greatly reduce the amount of time I will be spending in the garden, and will reduce the amount of produce I need to eat.

Also new for this season, there will be no irrigation on the lot. Last year, I got water from a neighbor, but there's a new homeowner and that arrangement is not continuing. Instead, I'll be irrigating by hand, by bucket, and growing using "dry farming" techniques, which will further reduce the workload and yields.
