Will Allen nets fish at Growing Power in the 5500 block of W. Silver Spring Drive. The farm has developed a system for raising fish and vegetables in circulating water.

Kudos to him! Get the kids interested and... This man is doing a great job and it sounds like he’s sacrificed quite a bit for his dream.

We love having the kids from the local elementary school come over. Really local—across the playground and the football field. Unfortunately, they now have to jump thru all kinds of hoops just to visit. Two weeks prior notice, and as much paperwork as a major field trip. Shaking head.

OTOH, the school property butts up to ours, so technically, as long as they stay on the other side of the—shallow—ditch, we can take plants and things out to them. Kind of limits the kids as to hands on, but...

Di, you are so right about teaching people to cook! I can remember being in 8th grade home ec class and wondering why these people were wasting my time, and why didn’t the other kids know how to cook and sew and budget? LOL

Gabz—sorry your romas turned into grapes! Tasty, but not much good for anything else!

Girlangler—how’s your fall/winter stuff doing? I had a great salad last night for supper out of my “salad bowl”. Red sails, buttercrunch, and baby spinach. Yummy!

Y’all have a great day, and thanks for th ping!
