An example of the week I've been having in the gardens is aptly demonstrated by this week's yield of green beans.
Last week 5 lbs. This week 1.5 lbs.
I almost pulled them up last night except that there where new leaves and beans to harvest.
Yellow stains streak most of this week's laundry, I hope they're not permanent, but are a testament to the chaos.
My foe? Click to see...

The pear tree gave us a bounty of gifts this year. So far, I've made canned pears, ginger pear jam, pear juice and tomorrow I will make dehydrated pears. Free food except for the labour. (it does carry on a bit tho..) I told my 3 yr. old grandlittle I was making the jam just for him. He believed me... 🥰

"Under the three-year project, researchers will work with community members to test their soil, select appropriate seed varieties, and cultivate crops to grow fresh, nutritious food, reducing their reliance on expensive, nutritionally poor store-bought items."

The government of India runs the world’s biggest food security scheme, which provides free ration to more than 80 crore people. The scheme has won Prime Minister Narendra Modi accolades. But what if we realise that there are over 14 crore people who have been omitted from the benefit of this scheme because the government has not counted Indian citizens in over a decade? Can its intransigence break the welfare structure of governance?

14 pounds of green beans, squash, onions, and passion fruit were donated today!
That's 119 pounds of organic produce donated this summer to our local food pantry from our elementary school beds!
How amazing is that? Way to grow Lil'Vikes!

"Transformative action requires a system-based understanding."
This seems like such an obvious thing, but as we work toward a more #sustainable #FoodSystem, we forget that changing one piece of the equation affects so many others. #Biodiversity, #FoodSecurity , #rural social fabric, economics, #AnimalHealth and #AnimalWelfare .... all affected, and sometimes what is good for one is bad for another. None of us can oversee all of these effects; #interdisciplinary work is essential. 1/3

Before aught else, we must eat. Water is also existential for everything.
When the Oglala runs dry, what then for central US farmers and the people in the towns and cities that rely on the same ground water? Are they going to move to Arizona? Texas?

Great privilege to visit the Centre for #AgroEcology in #SantaCruz earlier this week, and learn about all its great work over the last few decades, from #AlanChadwick first start-up to today’s real commitment to providing #FoodSecurity for #UCSC students as well as employment and education work with local schools. Also really good discussion around #IndigenousKnowledge #SettlerColonialism in the context of AgroEcology. Thank you!

My garden is just on the verge of spewing pounds and pounds and pounds of cooking apples, pears and plums. It's almost sinister.. The kitchen is going to be canning chaos in a week or two. Love autumn..

One, zero, five!
One, zero, five!
Today's 10 lbs adds to our growing total bringing it to 105lbs!
We've donated 105 lbs of food to this food pantry over the course of the summer from the food beds planted this spring by our Junior Gardeners!
What an amazing achievement!
Way to grow, B's Jr G's!

Check out my #strange #spiral shaped #homegrown #cucumber 👩🌾
It decided to wrap itself around a chopstick marker stake & kept growing around it.
Slicing it up to add to salad rolls for lunch.
