Paradise Garden Project- Indoor Cultivation Part 1


HAPPY ARBOR DAY!
I started the indoor grow room about one month ago. My main objective at the moment is to keep as many plants as I can growing indoors all year round and using what we grow to plant in our garden and exchange for plants we do not have with other growers. We broke ground on the first garden plot this week. Mattes and I bought a few plants and a yard of good compost soil from The Highland Garden Center in Upland and some stuff from the Home depot. There is still much tilling and fertilization to be done and we plan on completing those tasks this week, so we have plenty of space to plant from seed and sprouts.

I am not sure exactly how many different types of vegetables, legumes, melons, squashes and everything else we have growing right now. I kind of lost track but it is somewhere around 30-40 varieties. In the last month I have had more people helping me. I have been pretty busy doing this and going to school full time so I am glad people are starting to get on board with the project, there is till much to be done.

Dirt First Community Garden Collective- Dana Point, California


Dirt First Community Garden in Dana Point, California started in 2008. Sadly, I haven't made it out there yet but pretty soon I'm going to start visiting and writing about other community garden projects in Southern California. Dirt First will be one of the first places. They have no upcoming events at the moment but will probably start having some shows and pot-lucks around February. Also they're in a pretty sweet location just south of Dana Point, one of the best beaches. For more information or questions contact Scott Brown on  Dirt First's facebook page:
