We will, Lord willing, harvest the Savoy cabbages and turnip greens to take to the Collierville Food Pantry on Thursday morning - their last big distribution day before Christmas.
Quite a bit has been going on:
Katherine Green cleaned up and mulched the south half of plot 1.
I planted 22 elephant garlic cloves in the south demo garden raised bed.
Jes Crownover is creating us a new up to date PowerPoint presentation.
Bob, Sue & her mother, and I set out 300 onion sets.
Next chores beside the December 19 harvest are:
1. Spread straw around the new onions.
2. Spread straw on plots 3 and 5 whence we will harvest the cabbages and turnips.
Field trials results of the Carbon Boost-S product FBSciences.com donates to us.
According to the MAMG treasurer Tom Mashour, our fund now has $935.40 after the latest donation by Farmington Presbyterian Church of $347.00. Lord willing, 2013 is taken care of plus some.
This week's quotes:
"The tragic reality is that very few sustainable systems are designed or applied by those who hold power, and the reason for this is obvious and simple: to let people arrange their own food, energy and shelter is to lose economic and political control over them. We should cease to look to power structures, hierarchical systems, or governments to help us, and devise ways to help ourselves."
- Bill Mollison
"Have your good acts during the year overbalanced the bad? Have you made more people happy than unhappy? Have you spoken more kind words than unkind? Have you helped others more than you have been helped? And has the world been made any better because you have lived in it? There is no shorter road to happiness than that which leads us to make those around us happier." –The Old Farmer’s Almanac, 1895
Ain't God good!
