So cultivating connections is basically the farm classroom and people can be on the farm and interact with animals through a seasonal way. Salads for SeniorsHigh schoolers who are hired as interns to learn how to be engaged in the kitchen by growing the lettuce, harvesting it, bringing it into the kitchen to clean it, make the salads that are delivered to meals on wheels.Funding? Tricky for non-profits.

I thought you might like to hear my recent article in the TV News:August 2022 It’s hot, is it not?! But that’s summer, and at least our nights drop down to cool things off. Besides you can always go jump in a lake, we certainly have lots of them around the Tobacco Valley. For me, getting to run through the sprinkler while I water the lawn is still pretty exciting as we didn’t have running water for a long time. And watering the garden is the word of the day! WATER, WATER, WATER. I don’t feel like we can keep our garden/lawn hydrated. We are finally starting to harvest more and more each day even though it seems late in the season. We had a delicious dinner the other night of fresh potatoes, string beans and cherry tomatoes! Our beets are getting bigger and the beet greens we thin between rows are delicious to sauté with some mini beets mixed in. I also like to blanch the greens to freeze for winter when I’m jonesing for some deep leafy vegetables and I can’t bring myself to buy them in the produce a

Design Wildon Instagram @designwildnywww.designwildny.com One of my favorite parts of this conversation is Shanti's best piece of advice to move a plant 3 times before it finds it's permanent home. If a plant isn't happy in the spot you first plant it don't be afraid to move it, we're just gaining information and it's a way to help it thrive. When you hit the right place and the plant is happy you can tell and you say oh! Look how happy it is. Spring and fall are the best times to move plants and let them find their happy spot.Floral spade Let’s take a minute to thank our sponsors and affiliate linksWanna donate to the show!
