My food group (Free Fridges, Food Rescue, and Indoor Gardening) has an official logo now. ( -This feels like a significant benchmark- ) A member of my group proposed us getting an official logo so we could start printing out business cards, make T-shirts and Polos, print out an event booth banner, and make giveaway swag, etc.... ...all of which will really help grow the group and its operations as we attend events and reach out in the local community. We all agreed and that group member initiated everything and got it done. And here is a wonderful thing. We went to a local art collective and commissioned a local artist to create the logo. (And I believe they did it for free in support of helping us feed our mutual neighbors). No AI. No Slop. A real local artist. We support each other. So cheers to Pete Morelewicz (and Emmy) - His site can be found here : https://printjazz.com See attached for logo design: #solarPunk #mutualAid #community #freeFridge #foodRescue #indoorGardening #foodSecurity

Great news! My library got back to me! They're interested in building out a seed library as well!!! YAYAYAYAY!!!!!! I'm developing some basic classes on how to do low-budget, simple, indoor (in any space) hydroponics. I'm also building out some starter kits to give away. I'll see if the local library would like me to give these courses and kits when the seed library gets built as a way to promote it and get word out to the local community. #solarPunk #seedLibrary #postScarcity #libraryEconomy #indoorGardening #urbanGardening

Update on the local Seed Library (see previous posts in this thread for background)! We've got official approval to start building it out! We'll start the official planning, building, and then community awareness initiatives and concurrent programming and training! Yay free seeds for the town! Yay free classes on gardening and hydroponics! Gardening is one thing. Community is another thing entirely. Build community. Feed each other. #solarPunk #hydroponics #indoorGardening #gardening #urbanGardening

Last year I grew two turmeric plants. I tried to overwinter one, which is sometimes successful, but it died back completely in the dry indoor air. Out of spoons, I just ignored the pot in my living room. It hadn't been watered since December. I was planning to dump the spent soil and no-doubt decomposed remnants of rhizome. Last Monday I walked past the pot and was stunned to see a sprout. So I watered it, heavily and repeatedly. Today it's 16" tall. #IndoorGardening #TropicalPlants #Gardening

The article for my town's Free Fridge, Food Rescue, and Indoor Food Gardening group just came out! You can read the article here: https://fredericksburg.com/news/local/article_49e5b911-4f2a-41a1-b735-a0ddc09e3937.html (Non-paywalled archive: https://archive.is/AjYvg ) Goes into detail on our efforts to build out Free Fridges throughout town, conduct Food Rescue, and to help folks garden their food indoors. Even interviews the local food bank and discusses our cooperative partnerships with them as well! #solarPunk #foodRescue #indoorGardening #hydroponics #foodSecurity #foodBank #freeFridge #mutualAid
