We're having our usual long, cold spring in the Puget Sound area. This has discouraged my planting schedule. However, I have been busy making parts for more Grow Boxes (I have decided to use this name for the home-made vegetable growing containers). I am promoting the parking space garden concept in my church and I hope to use one of the church parking spaces as a demonstration project this summer.
The plan will be to carefully record all food production from the pilot plot to test the conjecture that one person could produce all the vegetables they eat in a year from one parking space garden.
I expect this concept will take several years to mature.

I love the long, cold spring. In the Rocky Mtns we only have alternate days of summer and winter for about a month between the two.
I'm excited about your parkingspace garden idea, and look forward to hearing more about the earthbox idea, see if/how it would work in our environment (which is much less conducive to growing things than the NW is - particularly for someone who did not inherit your green thumb!)
