Went to pick up soil at McEnroe Farm yesterday and stopped at Wild Hive for lunch. I've probably talked about them before since they were really close to the farm I worked at last year. They grow their own grain for their baked goods and bread, and I know a lot of the students at the CIA visit the local farm/bakery for one of their classes. I bought a couple of loaves while we were there-- the sour corn rye bread is absolutely delicious.

So I think it's time to start planting seeds for my balcony garden. I'm pretty new to container gardening but I learned from last year about what did well (radish, mint, basil) and what didn't (cilantro, tomatoes) so I'm probably only going to stick to a few herbs and flowers this time around, especially since I don't have the time to be watering all day long anymore. Maybe some arugula and micro greens. We'll see how it goes.
