Good morning,

Things are shaping up over here, the roses (what roses we have) are blooming and the vegetable plants are getting bigger every day. The other day some friends came over to look at the garden, it's nice to show people our garden. Oh, we sold Charles the only male baby goat we had to a good home.

MAY 28Boy, our strawberries are producing wonderfully, the only thing different we would do next year is mulch them with straw. As I said before, our plants are growing bigger and of course the weeds seem to be growing twice has big.   It's too wet in the garden to do much, but wait for it to dry up a little.  Every time is starts drying, it rains again.  Oh well, rain is good.  Right now we're waiting for our field to be hayed (usually happens around Memorial Day).  Mom is waiting for me to finish typing so we can put up trellis netting for the staking of our beans.  It is getting really hot in the afternoons, so we need to do most of our gardening  work in the mornings.  My Rhode Island Red chickens are growing - hopefully we'll  get some eggs in a couple of months.

See you later,
Bluebird

Tennessee has a rich history in agriculture, with many families starting a garden as a means to put food on the table. this is the case for Wendy Williams who, along with her daughters, have taken a small garden and grown it into a business venture with 3 Sisters Farm.  Not only is Williams teaching her daughters the importance of hardwork and dedication, but she hopes that one day they will be able to make a living out of the farm.

Recently LIVE GREEN dropped in on Woodbine, a decades-old section of Nashville’s venerable Flatrock neighborhood. Committed to the process of revitalization, a few citizens realized that “community” could mean more than just sharing a name and a neighborhood watch…
