Freedom Toast!!!

In a further effort to "stick it to the Man", My family and I have taken up small scale urban farming. Initially it began with a small garden inside a dog kennel (how else do you keep a 150 lb knuckle-head dog from killing all your veggies), this year we decided, actually the wife gave me permission, to expand and till up some more of the yard. In addition, we expanded an unintentional (had to have some water line work done and we opted against replanting grass) flower bed in the front yard to accommodate sweet potatoes, collard greens, tomatoes and herbs. So currently we have no need to worry about tomato recalls as we are nearly ready to begin swimming in about five different varieties of tomatoes that we grew ourselves, chemical and contamination-free I might add. Next year we plan to continue to expand tilling up some more space and expanding our repertoire, if you will. Currently on our modest little quarter acre or less space we have Tomatoes, collards, zucchini, leeks, sweet potatoes, dragon tongue beans, chili peppers of various types, and a number of herbs, and there is still room for the kids and dog to play.
Now we have decided not only to "kick it old school" and grow our own but we are going to try and share with our family and neighbors as well as the general public by selling some stuff we are making from our space as well as from other local farmers, beginning with selling popsicles and a few other items at the Ohio Green Living Fayre on Labor Day ( www.ohiogreenliving.org ), also we (my wonderful wife really) has begun another blog to share what we are doing so I figured that I should plug that site too ( www.one20farm.blogspot.com ). However, I must warn those of you who are the faint-of-heart, the language is a little different than what you've become accustomed to on this site, it's all nice & shit. But never fear, hopefully next year I'll have plenty of corn growing for you all to eat...
