A casual look at gardening in the north suburbs of Chicago and a look at our local CSA and Farmers' Market.

Raining
Well the garden plants have really started to take off and now with this new rain I expect them to grow just that much more. BTW every potato bag has sprouts now.
Farming and the environment have been a passion of mine for along time. As a kid I would help my grandfather with his garden and I would play in the streams and forests that made up the Arkansas and Ohio backdrops of my childhood. As an adult I have focused my life on educating children about the wonders of nature and the joys of gardening. I have worked at environmental education centers as well as learning farms. For the last five years I have worked and devoted much of my free time to Prairie Crossing Charter School, whose mission is to educate the next leaders of our world about the importance of the environment and sustainable farming.
