My yard has had a major transformation these last 2 days. Had some tree loppers come and take out one big tree, one small tree and trim back 3 large trees. The big tree was removed as it would shade the solar panels we are installing soon.

Attending just a couple of Logan Food Gardeners' meetings has given me confidence to try some of the projects that I have seen. From the last meeting, I took some Chia seeds that Trinette kindly brought along and have already harvested my first micro greens (yummy on sandwiches and salads). I was moving some wood the other day and saw heaps of worms. Instead of…
