Hi Yaw'l. Welcome to Springtime! North Asheville Urban Farmers have been busy sourcing cardboard, getting overly patient plants into the ground, tending fruit trees in urban parks, fortifying rabbit cages, designing and scheming and playing general catchup. The work or farming and sincere cultivation takes a certain temperament: One not too harsh on oneself - there is more to do, more inspirations to catch, plants to tend. Sunsets come fast and deserve savoring, as with the friendships in ourselves, each-other and Momma Earth. Cultivate the happiness of the moment the lest we miss the lessons of life. Here are photos on my camera of our springtime gatherings. The early season starts of seedlings proved a bit volatile for our seedlings: our starts hung out in an aphid infested greenhouse so the little guys have been through a lot of cayenne, onion, and garlic insecticidal soap and daily bug squashing. They are re-cooperating and a desperate to make it to their official home for the growing season.
The labels are for the Highland Street garden. Over the last few years, we have started a micro nursery of accumulated species and experiments, graftings from Whipple's workshops, and herbal stowaways from Keri's herbal medicine classes. They have been kept in pots produced little, and (honestly)deprived of a just life. Being that we all are temporary here (landowners and renters unite), this year they'll receive a rightful home once we make it. The design has been created (Yes! One step closer). Now we need to source and spread compost and mulch.
Yesterday 4 peaches went into the ground! That's a start.
Enjoy the photos!
