Hopes for a Garden
Visited an organic farm over the weekend that is a WWOOF site. It’s quite a place. The farm family totally took me in and it was like visiting my dad’s kin in Alabama. Fresh green beans, potatos, great healthy food. Not the Filipino mush they sell in the lowlands. I taught yoga in a hilltop paviliion to a couple of staff and just had a great time.
I plan to go back Easter weekend, to learn more about organic farming. As soon as I can beg, borrow or steal some scrap lumber, I’ll have some planting beds and compost bin built at the shelter. I’m totally convinced of the benefits fresh fruit and veg for these kids. It’s also a healthy activity to garden for the older restless ones who keep thinking about going back to the street. It might provide a good life skill as well.
