Had a little visitor as we planted out our flower seedlings this morning.
He’s probably thinking we’re planting his dinner!

Tomorrow it’s time to get the flower garden planted for farmers market sales! Come early if you’d like, especially those who can’t make it at 11am. We’ll be there all morning.
**We will be planting market varieties as a “crop” using sustainable crop production methods. So if you’ve ever thought about growing flowers for market, this is a great way to experiment and learn how to plan, prep, plant, and harvest bouquets throughout the season.

Meet us bright and early Thursday 9/20 @ 6:30am. Learn how to properly design and lay a drip tape irrigation system and how to apply the correct amount of compost for our AZ soil. We work on 30” x 100’ rows, but all processes are scalable to your own urban farm needs.
Watching how to urban farm on YouTube is awesome - but nothing beats actually DOING IT!
