This morning we took soil samples out of all the growing beds to collect data for our nutrient management contract as we are transitioning to organic. We get to be the U.S. Department of Agriculture urban farmer guinea pig as we apply EQIP grant conservation practices on a micro farm scale. Getting to learn how to use their cool tool just made my day! 💚

We got a super akward 👍 from the on our irrigation installation this morning .house where we grow all of our crops using regenerative agriculture techniques and permaculture principles. This is a part of the EQIP grant and transitioning to organic process as we document crop rotation, pest management, soil amendment and water management as a small scale urban farm.

There is a lot of back and forth paperwork, site visits and hoop jumping, but I am happy to say it’s worth it to operate with the utmost accountability, transparency and spirit of cooperation to better serve our communities food security needs. And on a side note there are 2,700 cloves of garlic planted in those perfect little rows which is pretty exciting to think about! 🧄👩‍🌾

🌿PLANTS OF THE YULETIDE ✨️& their symbolism ~ from The Heirloom Gardener - John Forti
History shows that the botanicals we used for holidays were simply those thriving in that season. Yuletide and Solstice botanicals used for decorations include:
•Evergreens (spruce, arborvitae, Christmas fern and wintergreen) as symbols of immortality since they were among the only botanicals to stay green when all others lost their leaves.
•Yews represented the death of the old year and were a connection between this world and the next.
•Oak trees were revered for being long-lived. Even though they were not evergreen, they were symbols of eternal life and considered a source of protection, strength, and endurance.
•Rosemary, an evergreen shrub in warm climates, was called the herb of the sun and the herb of remembrance.
*Bay, an evergreen herb used in holiday garlands and comforting teas. Bay laurel also signifies achievement and celebration.
•Birch trees symbolized new beginnings.
•Mistletoe stood for peace, happiness and smooches.
•Holly was used for magical protection and good luck.
•Ivy symbolized fidelity, faithfulness, and healing and was made into wreaths and garlands to decorate during the winter.
•Pine symbolized peace, healing, and joy.
