Food: It's pretty goddamned important.
Gardens went in around 2013-14 and have been a continuous experiment, pushing forward food security. The soil was sandy/clay and needed alot of amendments, but after the initial infrastructure was complete, we were on our way to massive amounts of organic goodness.
It is currently February and frozen as all fuck here... and we're all looking forward to the spring, which seems like it may show up anywhere from a month to never from now. (yet another reason to create a website: to stare longingly at the green of summer and remember that winter probably won't last forever.we'll see.)
That bean! Wtf?
