Seedlings Everywhere

Today is #UtahGives....and Cache Valley gives even better! Several of our supporters are growing seedlings at home to give away to our gardeners. Truly,"remote work" at its finest.

Some growers are using newspaper pots made by volunteers, which we wrote about earlier:

A tray of zucchini at Julie's house

Butternut squash at Karin's house.

One grower has to resort to ingenious methods to keep their cats out of the seedlings:

A folding table serves as support for the growlights suspended above the plants at Stefani's house

Another grower is using milk jugs as tiny greenhouses on her patio:

We often start with multiple seeds per pot, separating the seedlings when they're strong enough:

Lila is growing basil for us -- can you almost smell it?

Growing seedlings is a constant labor of vigilance and care. Doing this for other people is love in action. We really appreciate everyone's work; it takes all of us to make this garden grow.

We invite you to be part of this exciting work and support us with a donation. We have ongoing needs for tools, seeds, trays, pots, tomato cages, etc. And we have a dream of building a reflection & meditation garden in the center of our orchard. Please go to the [click to give] button in the brown square of our Support Us webpage. Looks like this:

We thank everyone for their support, in whatever form. All of it matters. A lot.
