"Generating food for ourselves is a political act. We maintain sovereignty and sufficiency by doing so. . ." An unnamed Mohawk/Algonquin farmer. Planter's garden strives to prove that sustainable, soft tech solutions are not as complicated, or expensive, as the commodities sector and politicians would like us to believe. Click on Back to Page One to see what happens after your garden is buried under 4 feet of snow. These pepper seedlings were
seeded April 13th and
harvested by a mouse shortly after the photo was taken. Now, all trays have covers! It is indeed the
year of the rodent! Seeding implements include a knife, spoon,
pencil for labeling, cork for tamping soil, and seeding dispenser (red). Knife is used to lift
seedlings out of tray; the spoon is for adding soil to delicate transplanted seedlings.
