WWOOF There It Is

About two months ago, i found a decently put together planter box in yard outside the warehouse. I inquired as to whom the lovely piece of carpentry belonged to, and to my delight, i discovered part of an abandoned project from a roommate long, long ago. Upon further investigation, i also discovered enough soil, weed killer, gloves, shovels, and pots to last my small garden endeavor a lifetime (seemingly). A few days later, i bought some seed, invited over a dear friend, and then went to work and planted salad: Lettuce, Green Onions, Parsley, Cucumber, Bell Pepper and Tomatoes. See? Salad, aka lunch forever!

This week, i was overjoyed to discover two full heads of lettuce! Oh my, it was delicious…like the taste hard work and a ton of watering.

My Tomato and Cucumber plants also seem to be doing very well, though i am sure they won’t yield much, if anything at all.

WWOOF!

In other news, WWOOFing is the coolest thing ever. I’m pretty much totally overjoyed to see this available:

WWOOF= World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms
WWOOF’s goals are to provide volunteers with first-hand experience with organic and ecologically sound growing methods, to help the organic movement, and to let volunteers experience life in a rural setting or a different country. WWOOF volunteers (‘WWOOFers’) generally do not receive any financial payment. The host provides food, accommodation and opportunities to learn, in exchange for assistance with farming or gardening activities. A large variety of people volunteer through WWOOF, from vacationing students to those who are interested in starting organic farming or organic gardening for themselves. WWOOFers range in age from teenagers (or children with their parents) through to pensioners. Likewise the farms can range from a private garden through smallholdings, allotments, to commercial farms.
