Independence Days Challenge - Post 4
1. Plant something: transplanted Old Virginia tomatoes, basil, and peppers, French Marigolds, Scarlet Salvia. Started sunflowers & sprouts. Oh, and planted a Malabar spinach plant that a friend started from seed.
2. Harvest something: My dear friend Kat took me for a walk in the woods behind her home and we picked the very first blackberries of the season. Sun kissed! She also gave me some eggs from her hens. Sprouts, sunflower shoots, and basil.
3. Preserve something: Nothing here
4. Reduce waste: composted cardboard boxes and food scraps from the Hibiscus Coffee and Guesthouse. This happens every week.
5. Preparation & storage: Nothing
6. Build community food systems: Seaside Farmer’s Market was rained out this weekend, but I did sell my sunflower shoots to friend.
7. Eat the food: Blackberries, sprouts, basil, and eggs
