I am looking forward to dining on fresh food, especially from the garden. The first produce will likely be radishes and chives, plus some hardy herbs if I start them in the basement. I could grow sprouts now, and should.

Let me know if you'd like to help. We could use help with office work, delivery, outreach to schools, outreach generally. Henry Street Farms can provide the seedlings and soil.
