Hello all, happy early spring to those of you who are experiencing it! Here in western Colorado, we've got our tiny rainy season going on. what are you doing in your communities, in your gardens, in your organizing spaces? what kind of cool praxis have you got going on?

Planting my own veggies for the first time and cleaning the overgrown space in my backyard that was once a garden.

I also got my grandma to send me blackcurrant cuttings across half of Europe and they took to the soil here surprisingly well. I essentially just dug a hole, put higher quality soil into it and stuck the branches into the soil. The rain and the sun did the rest of the work and within a week I’m seeing small leaves.

The plan for this month is to dig up the land in the backyard, prepare plots for the veggies and create a fence from the branches that come from the laurel trees that we cleared about a month ago.

I’m also letting the lawn do its own thing in the part of the property that’s facing the street. It’s spectecular. Short vid here.
