Raw Ambition Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 I LOVE this time of year!!!!! It is SOOOO easy to follow a raw lifestyle in the summer time. I was at the grocery store yesterday, and they were selling 2 lbs of strawberries for $3 (which is cheap here) Everything is SO much more affordable in the summer time...... mmmmm...

jjaj2022 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 I'm pretty excited myself! This weather is great! I've busy getting my garden growing. This is my first time planting a garden but I didn't see any other way with tomatoes being $4.99/pound for organic and eating the way I do. Here's what I have growing in about a 60'x20' area. 9-tomato plants6-bell pepper 2yellow/2orange/1red/1green3- other peppers jalapeno/habanero/anaheim28-cucumber plants 4-watermelon4-honeydew melon12-strawberry plants1 packet of carrot1 packet of cilantro http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42/RIPMacDre/Garden009.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42/RIPMacDre/Garden002.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaSiren Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Love your garden! Please keep us updated with photos. I am always facinated with someone who can actually make plants grow and no have the unbelievable ability to kill them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raw Ambition Posted May 18, 2006 Author Share Posted May 18, 2006 I love gardens! In fact! when I grow up (I turned 30 today) I wanna be a farmer! (organic of course!) Has anyone read a book called "Square Foot Gardening"?? If you love gardening, I strongly recommend this one. It's written by an ex engineer. And he talks about the cons of traditional row planting.

nik Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I love it too! Esp. mid summer. That's when the produce is ready. Tomatoes in every color, fruits, berries, melons, cucumbers, peppers etc. It's going to be easy to eat much more raw when summer gets here. June/July etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
