bedHello. First I must say I’m sorry for not writing, but our computer crashed. We have also been busy. To bring you up to date, I bought six baby Rhode Island Red chicks and they seem to be healthy. The other two pregnant goats gave birth. One had a baby goat we named Ester, it was a healthy single birthing and ‘she’ is doing well. Soon we will “dehorn’ her. The other goat had two babies, one named Star, the girl, and one named Charles, the boy.  Also we got another half-acre tilled by a neighbor (see photo) to which I most grudgingly have to weed. The next day we planted potatoes (red and white) plus some radishes and beets.

Today I did volunteer and garden work and tomorrow I will have to weed, plant and weed some more.  I did not get any pictures of our seed starting, but the plants are growing well. We also bought some (meaning: a lot of) plant starts from a local business.

We think it’s great news that several Tennessee Prisons are choosing to Go Green, and Live Green Tennessee recently visited Sergeant Doug Griffith of the Tennessee Department of Corrections.
Griffith explained a recycling program that turns leftover food from five prisons into rich, fertile mulch that’s then used on a 100-acre kitchen garden. The inmates working the farm save the prison system—and you, the taxpayer—money...
But more important is the responsibility, the fresh air, and the opportunity to learn practical, employable and life-long skills to help trustees adjust to life upon release.
