So cultivating connections is basically the farm classroom and people can be on the farm and interact with animals through a seasonal way.  Salads for Seniors High schoolers who are hired as interns to learn how to be engaged in the kitchen by growing the lettuce, harvesting it, bringing it into the kitchen to clean it, make the salads that are delivered to meals on wheels.

Master Beekeeper class is using her next book Bees Need Flowers, Planting for Pollinators coming out soon. Tips include: reading a lot.  Join a bee club because it's like learning a new language. Beekeeping is very local Need to know bee biology to work with bees not tell them what to do Spend a year learning about beekeeping by taking 1 or more classes, reading, meeting other beekeepers. Bees are colony based, not self centered like humans. Bees sometimes leave because they don't want to spread disease to the hive. Jackie asks what if you can't find a club?  Thanks to the pandemic lots of clubs are meeting on Zoom like https://beesbeyondborder

I thought you might like to hear my recent article in the TV News: August 2022  It’s hot, is it not?! But that’s summer, and at least our nights drop down to cool things off. Besides you can always go jump in a lake, we certainly have lots of them around the Tobacco Valley. For me, getting to run through the sprinkler while I water the lawn is still pretty exciting as we didn’t have running water for a long time. And watering the garden is the word of the day! WATER, WATER, WATER. I don’t feel like we can keep our garden/lawn hydrated.  We are finally starting to harvest more and more each day even though it seems late in the season. We had a delicious dinner the other night of fresh potatoes, string beans and cherry tomatoes! Our beets are getting bigger and the beet greens we thin between rows are delicious to sauté with some mini beets mixed in. I also like to blanch the greens to freeze for winter when I’m jonesing for some deep leafy vegetables and I can’t bring myself to buy them in the produc

If a plant isn't happy in the spot you first plant it don't be afraid to move it, we're just gaining information and it's a way to help it thrive. When you hit the right place and the plant is happy you can tell and you say oh! Look how happy it is. Spring and fall are the best times to move plants and let them find their happy spot.

https://tertill.com/products/tertill ()From the Inventor of Roomba®Helen is the CEO of Tertill. https://tertill.com/products/tertill (Tertill) makes gardening easier. Tertill sells a weeding robot designed for vegetable gardens! Today along with describing the robot, Helen will announce a custom garden fertilizer program that delivers the right fertilizer, at the right time, right to your door! Talk about easy gardening. As background info, Helen founded iRobot the company that makes the Roomba Vacuuming Robot. Tertill Weeding Robot doesn't pull weeds, it prevents them using specially-designed wheels. If any weeds do sprout, the robot chops them down with its string trimmer. Tertill Weeding Robot uses height to tell plants from weeds. If a plant can touch its sensors, the robot leaves it alone. If the plant can pass under the robot, it cuts it. Included metal guards protect young plants and seeds until they are taller.

Zucchini Marmalade yields 5 half pint jars   4 Cups zucchini, peels left on, seeds removed and coarsely ground 2 oranges, ground with peel 5 Cups sugar   Mix all ingredients well. Cover and let stand 8 hours. Bring mixture to a boil in a non-reactive pot and let stand another 8 hours (or longer if needed). Add juice of one lemon (2 Tbsp). Boil to jelly stage. Pour into sterilized jelly jars leaving 1/4 inch head space. Process 10 minutes, adjusting accordingly for altitude.    Cooks Note: I prefer to use a food grinder to prep the squash and orange but have also used a food processor. With the processor you have to watch out for larger chunks of fruit.  Little Jars, Big Flavors, published by Southern Living/Oxmoor House in 2013 https://amzn.to/3MYfLU0 () https://amzn.to/3MYfLU0 (Southern Living Little Jars, Big Flavors: Small-batch jams, jellies, pickles, and preserves from the South's most trusted kitchen)https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12530128/ () https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1
