After a little break, GSF is back in the full swing of gardening with the kids! The garden welcomed our young farmers back from the winter break with tons of peas, snow peas, radishes, daikons, lettuce, wheat grass, and so much more! Would you believe the kids pulled the BIGGEST daikon ever from the ground and cooked it? It doesn't get any fresher than that!
Before we left, we had a sustainable gift/bake sale for the December workday event. Torrential downpour canceled the workday, but the gift/bake sale went on! Nat, Nancy, and Virginie manned 3 beautiful table filled with gorgeous baked goodies, locally made jams, rosemary/lavender salts, and other great holiday gifts. I brought my mother and she ended up purchasing a lot of gifts for our relatives. (FYI: lavender salt is great!)
Despite the typhoon going on around us, we still had a great success! We hope to do this again in the future.
