Garden Season Is Upon Us!!!

Oh Hells Yeah! 
Plant something.  Anything.

Grow food for yourself.  For others.  For animals. For insects.  Feed the worms (heh heh).
Compost.
Share some food.
Open those foods you canned or dried in the fall.  Eat them.
Eat what you've got in the pantry.

Try a new recipe.

Make an old recipe.

Give someone a decent knife and some fresh veg.

Anything we do to feed ourselves and others (including the non-human others) is positive and a move toward personal and local food sovereignty.

I have planted kale, lettuce, onion, carrot and radishes.  I checked on my fruits and berry trees/shrubs/canes.  I got a fishing license.  I threw clover seeds and wild flower seeds out on my property for the bugs and the birds.  My vermicompost, humanure compost and regular compost are all going strong.  If I can't grow decent gardens, I can share compost with better gardeners.

Today our community garden had a work day and sadly, I was the only volunteer to show up.  BUT I learned good techniques for transplanting, how to water starts in well, and helped start various seeds in the newly opened space in the seedlings room there.  All cool stuff.  Also chased a bunny out of the garden.  If it comes back we may eat the bunny...we'll see.

I hope one and all can find a way to grow or cook or share their own food.
Happy Spring!
