Give each person at the workshop several packets of seeds and planting instructions to share with their family and friends. Let the word…"
Ray T. Goss II replied to Kimberly Ann's discussion 'How does someone take an idea for the community and make it grow?'" I'd recommend getting hooked up with Seed Savers Exchange, in Decorah, Iowa. The members have the best and most varieties of tomato seeds that I know of. Source them on the internet and give them a call!"

Zoubida Ayyadi replied to Kimberly Ann's discussion 'Any suburban/urban beekeepers here?' in the group Apiarists"Christine, if the city allowed chickens and beehives, I wouldn't mind the trio at all and just do my thing. Problem is, it is not allowed. When we built our chicken coop before knowing it was not allowed here, our immediate neighbours knew what…"
Christene replied to Kimberly Ann's discussion 'Any suburban/urban beekeepers here?' in the group Apiarists"Well I would say that since there is no HOA you should be able to do what you want to do, just make sure that there are no city ordinances that they could get you on.

Zoubida Ayyadi replied to Kimberly Ann's discussion 'Any suburban/urban beekeepers here?' in the group Apiarists"We discovered very quickly after moving here that there is a very sour, very "dysfunctional" relationship among the neighbours here. No HOA, but 3 of the 15 or so families on our street and the perpendicular street act worse than one.

Christene replied to Kimberly Ann's discussion 'Any suburban/urban beekeepers here?' in the group Apiarists"We just put our first hive in and we are in a small town. Our neighbors have fruit trees so they don't mind. We just need to watch our children around the bees."
Michelle Valadez replied to Kimberly Ann's discussion 'Any suburban/urban beekeepers here?' in the group Apiarists"We have bees in the burbs. I checked with my neighbors first to make sure no one nearby
had a life threatening bee allergy. Otherwise, if the neighbors are just leary they will soon get
over it when you hand them a bottle of honey from your hive."
Kimberly Ann replied to Cornelia's discussion 'Stinging Nettles- Urtica dioica' in the group Herb Lovers!"I just sampled some nettle tea last night. It had a very mild and pleasant taste."
Kimberly Ann replied to Cornelia's discussion 'Building a straw bale garden' in the group Urban Gardeners"It's such a coincidence - I was just reading up on this today! I need a solution for some tomatoes and I was thinking about this set up. The trouble is I have to do the growing in my front yard and I'm not sure my neighbors would…"
