The desire to grow your own food is greater than ever.

I am able to meet you next week Tuesday. Just specify the time and location
so many others might meet there also.
Thank you.

Five K? Wow. I was envisioning folks planting a few tomatoes, some peas, beans, some blueberries, some lettuce, maybe some arugula and green onions and a few radishes, some beets, even potatoes in their own little section.

I guess the five thousand would be for a shed and watering cans and hoes and spades and stuff like that?

I know I am being a real pill with my attitude and questions. I just know that a lot of people do plant some stuff in their own yards here. We do.

What would the grant money be for?
