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.
