Feel Good Friday…Growing your Own Food is FreedomLast year we planted a community garden in my backyard. My summer camp kids worked in it, many of my Martial Arts students and teachers worked in it as did their families. The kids were amazed that you could pick and eat your own food! We put up over 50 quarts of pickles, produced about 10 pounds of honey and GAVE AWAY OVER 500 POUNDS OF PRODUCE TO THE LOCAL FOOD BANK. This year we will be better organized and better planned to produce even more. You can be part of it. You can do it in your own backyard.
Here is a video of a family in Pasadena CA who, on 1/10 of an acre (110’x60’) grew 6000 pounds of food. That is 3 tons! Truly amazing. Go here for 10 minutes:

If you want to be part of the community garden this year let me know. If you want to start your own I will help in any way I can. Plant something edible this year.
Namaste
