Thanks to the input from many and some extra time in meetings, the do.town application is completed and will be submitted on Tuesday, May 1st.  Many thanks to Jill Johnson who spent plenty of hours researching and estimating.  We have laughed and dreamed about where this opportunity might take us and I am very confident that we can accomplish our goals!!

Do you like fresh salsa??  Do you know how to can produce?  We are going to be growing plenty of tomatoes and peppers, along with cilantro and other herbs to create some amazing salsa batches.  We will also plan to preserve some tomatoes for use in winter hotdishes at the Simpson Shelter. 

We are going to use our partnership with MIRA to reach into Richfield and identify a few apartment home residents that can exchange ideas and offer suggestions for the types of plants we need to make the best tasting salsas. 

Have you visited the garden yet?   There is plenty to take in with green sprouts bursting through the soil in perfect rows.  I will hope to get pictures soon and will post them. 

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Earth Day celebrations.  We received around $60 in donations and it was very much appreciated. 

Growing in grace,
Kim
