Planting Season Begins

Our home business is a Community-Supported Agriculture project. People buy memberships at the start of the year, and we deliver vegetables to their doorstep for 10 weeks through the growing season.

Today, we started green pepper and tomato seedlings, or so we hope. The kids helped out, putting soil into the potting trays and doing some cleanup. We log what we've planted, how many, and on what day. We also log the time spent, so that we can track the value of our work input.

Through our CSA, the kids are learning plant science, business skills and the life skills involved in growing your own food - something sorely lacking in the developed world.
