Independence day

Plant something-my neighbor brought me cabbage, pepper, tomato, melon and squash plants. I jammed stuff into the garden.
Harvest something-Spinach, baby lettuce, tatsoi, eggs.
Preserve something-nada
Reduce waste-fed stuff to chickens and I used lawn clippings to mulch the potatoes.
Preparation and Storage-used up the last of last year's raspberries for dessert night with the neighbors.
Build Community Food Systems-Sold some egg, shared above plants with another neighbor, bought lunch at the farmer's market one day and shopped at a locally owned bulk food store for some baking ingredients.
Eat the Food-still eating from the garden, eating eggs and the side of beef we bought from Morning Fog Farm. The afore mentioned raspberries fall into this category too.
