Got into few plant sales. This Friday I will work with the students teaching how to take seeds from these flowers.
ChangeX funds will help to start our community garden in our new home. This friday I will work with the ETHS students producing seedings that will became available for free for the neighbours. Chickens haven"t stop laying eggs since we moved which means they are happy!
