Moving dirt and sowing seed.

The 12 yards of black dirt have been shoveled and wheeled and dumped and leveled into the planting beds.  Squash, beans, turnips and chard and cilantro and more have been seeded.  Strawberries have been planted.  Let the abundance begin!.

Air stapler makes lining the growing beds with plastic faster and easier.

GOOD SOIL is on my mind. 

Rich, black, smelling of darkness and decaying things - 

the promise of abundance to come. 

Get the dirt at United Theological Seminary urban farm project. See you Wed 10:00 to 12:00.
