Growing my own vegetables!!
I just found out that they have this unbelievably awesome possibility here in Cologne: you can rent space on a farm! The owners of the farm plant rows of different vegetables and flowers for you and take care of them until May. Then you take care of your on parcel using their tools and water (and informational help when you need it), and eating your own results! This seems like such a fabulous middle step for people like me, who don't have the space or the experience to do this alone.
A cousin of my friend Beate told me about it-- he's part of a group of students that are in the farm. He assured me that you can get there without a car.
Jeremy and I were subscribers of a farm near NYC our last summer there, but we just picked up the vegetables once a week. This way, I can learn how to actually grow the vegetables myself!!
The only problem is that I will be on tour for about 6 weeks in August and September, so I will miss the best harvest time... But hopefully we can find another couple to share the plot of land, so that it won't go to waste.
If you want to see the yummy pictures on their website, click here. It's all in German...

I remember that you enjoyed the farm food in NY. It feels good to get your hands dirty, although I prefer flowers to vegetables.
