Independence Days Challenge - Post 2
1. Plant something: transplanted Genovese basil, French Marigolds, and mini red peppers
2. Harvest something: sprouts, Marconi red peppers, Mammoth melting snow peas
3. Preserve something: finally put my dried Marconi red pepper seeds in paper envelopes. For the past 3 months they have sat on the counter - I hope they germinate.
4. Reduce waste: composted cardboard boxes and food scraps from the Hibiscus Coffee and Guesthouse
5. Preparation & storage: decided it was time to put away some of the sprouting seed I sell at the market
6. Build community food systems: I participated in the Seaside Farmer’s Market and traded sprouts for soap, organic eggs, a gardenia, and some malabar spinach seedlings. Also attended a meeting with the Tourist Development Council about the annual Environmental Forum. The focus of the forum this year will be community gardens and I hope to lead a round table discussion on permaculture with fellow permaculturist, Kat M. Provencher and architect Frank Green.
7. Eat the food: sprouts, Marconi red peppers, Mammoth melting snow peas, Susan’s sauerkraut
