| Hey Guys!
We're doing an Urban Farm - and I mean one that will generate all the food necessary for the members - ALL of it. We have very limited space as this project is focused on a fairly urban area (we are trying to make a point about cities producing their own food IN the actual cities and how it can be more easily done without pesticides in this way. We're starting 1 January 2011 (San Diego) and I'd love to have people make suggestions about some very prolific vegetables (and even fruit) that is open-pollinated/heirloom. Would love ppl to list their most productive varieties! Thanks for your help! Ellie |
