Three weeks ago I began working on a 20x20 plot and I am pleased to say that summer plants and seeds are in the ground. In a little over 8 weeks, I hope to harvest tomatoes, sweet peppers, eggplant, okra, lima beans, zucchini, yellow squash and watermelon. The weather has been very pleasant and I am hopeful I will have a decent harvest this garden season. Going forward, work at the "Alexandria" plot will be maintenance. The plan is to stop there 2-3x a week to weed, lay down mulch, water and prune the plants (when needed). 

As you can see in the second picture, I began laying down leaves as cover for the beds and mulch in the walkways. Additionally, I created an organic pesticide using cayenne pepper and garlic and planted seeds for companion plants to keep away pests. Everyday I am learning something new about organic gardening (e.g., baking soda solution to kill mildew). 

Eventually, I will begin planning the "Fall" garden. However, I am going to use the next 8-12 weeks to create garden and nutrition education programs. In addition to sharing produce and encouraging others to do the same, the purpose of Sow. Harvest. Share also includes providing information to others. It has been a long three weeks, but I am looking forward to creating education & coaching programs that will help people achieve their lifestyle goals.
