Oh the places you'll go...

Before even purchasing seeds, our gardening adventure began with driving to a small organic farm in small town Kansas. Two of my friends and I road-tripped two hours to purchase a worm farm, walk around the garden, and ask lots of questions. I was of course equipped with pad and paper in hand:).

Quite the deary day when we started out

On our way we stopped in Topeka, Kansas and had lunch at cute local cafe that serves vegan & vegetarian meals, local coffee & organic teas. It was such a cute and unique place, I could of chilled there all day:)! I highly recommend it if your driving through Topeka. It was decently priced as well. Here is a link to their website, Blue Planet Cafe . And some pics to show you:)

Before even this trip began, I spent a lot of time on the phone with this organic farmer, aka "Wormlady":). When I first looked into organic gardening I learned about this funny thing called "Worm castings"... which boils down to a sophisticated way of saying worm poop:). As gross as it might sound having a worm farm and harvesting their poop, organic gardeners swear by this stuff and call it, "black gold". To me, it was an easy solution to harvest free rich fertilizer for the garden, especially for my living situation being in a townhouse. So off we went, to the middle of Kansas... I'm so glad I have friends to go on adventures with! Stay tuned to hear more about the adventures of worm farming:) and here is a link to the farm we visited: Rising Mist Organic Farm .
