Hattie Larlham Creative Arts
"The Hattie Larlham Creative Arts Program gives artists with profound disabilities a hand and a voice, letting them create without the focus of their limitations. We see the people we work with as artists, refusing to define them by their disabilities, but rather, letting them define themselves by what they can achieve.

I feel the need... the need for SEED!

Help prevent disease by avoiding you plants when they are wet & try to water only at their base.. and more so as they are blooming and podding. Be careful when weeding around these shallow-rooted plants and do offer them an occasional spray of liquid fish or fish-seaweed fertilizer. 

~ Start saving your egg shells to mash & sprinkle around your tomatoes. Not only are they good nutrients, but they can help keep slugs away.

~ Plot that garden, making sure circulation is a crucial allowance in positioning along with root spread and sun saturation.
