Thanks Kathleen. As much as I hate weeding I often find it therapeutic. I have gardened for decades and love this activity. Now I am finding I am having to let go of some garden activities. Your link reminded me of a program I recently found we have in our K-12 school. There is even a special teacher for this program. I often think I have this place figured out and then something comes along to show I don't.

@MissKathleen There's something strange about this place. We have the smallest population and size of the 3 main islands yet are way ahead of the others in our community spirit. This school (of about 230 students) was also one of 6 that was granted a STEM award and recently won an award for their environmental activism. This is something one doesn't see when visiting here but after spending time it becomes evident.

I find vegetable gardening healthy in many ways. First, in spading up the garden, laying out the row, planting, mulching, etc. 3 times a year I get great exercise. Second, I get great nutrition from my green beans, yellow squash, red potatoes, tomatoes, white acre peas, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, and cabbage, I get great nutrition. Third, both the tending the garden and the sharing of vegetables with friends and neighbors, I find good for my mental health-- and the sharing earns me a lot of good will.

Additionally , you can grow organic - no chemicals to make you sick .

You nailed it. All of the above.

I have herbs and tomatoes planted in my garden. I love sun ripened tomatoes fresh from the vine.

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.

Posted by 1patriotOne of the main reasons for last year’s ‘spike’, which the media and government agencies have avoided mentioning, is the Hunga Tonga volcano eruption two years ago.
