Get Ready, Get Set.....GROW!
It's May 24 and we're just a couple of weeks away from the official start of the 2013 Hands for Growing season!
One way to keep relationships fresh and fun is to try new things! This summer we'll try a couple of new things in the garden as well.
One of them will be to use burlap bags for growing containers. The method we will use has been used successfully in Africa where soil may be poor and water at a premium. This method has allowed families to grow a lot of healthy food in a small space. Some families have been able to sell their food also, generating much needed income.
